Morgan Wright Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 3 hours ago, apolo1100 said: Now is the gauge or just a visual oil aparato on dash is something I can get aftermarket or it's an specific one.? Any spare one laying around i can get..from someone.? You can have this one. It's a sight oil gauge, from a 1918 E-45. It just needs a glass and some rubber washers. The 1918s had a little spinner which I don't think they had in 1917 (somebody correct me, but I think it just squirted oil against the glass for you to see it??). Anyway the spinner is missisng. I can't see charging you for it. Except maybe postage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Wiegand Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 The 1916 and 1917 6-Cylinder models had the sight gauge on the dashboard with the little wheel inside to show that oil was being circulated from the oil pump. I am not sure what the 1918 and 1919 models used, but our 1920 has an oil pressure gauge.

Morgan Wright Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 OK 1917 had a little spinner, which is missing. But you can see the oil itself, or maybe you can make a wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan Wright Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 I'm going to sawzall around the gauge on the dashboard and around the oil-line connectors on the firewall, and send you the whole oil lines. Your dashboard looks different from this one, this is a 1918 with a 118 wheelbase as it says on the dash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan Wright Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 One thing I notice you're missing is the 2 windshield pillars. Do you want these? They unscrew real easy. If anybody sees any parts on this that they want, tell me before I take it to the dump. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
