JFranklin Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Snyder's can build your seat springs if you can give dimensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1920 Coupe Posted February 11 Author Share Posted February 11 Not sure what I want to do, yet. Where is Snyder's at. Only had the car 2 weeks. Wasn't planning on buying an old car. Always wanted one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS25 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Early Hudson parts are hard to find. Great cars but not very many parts available. Have you tried the Hudson club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google Snyder's and add Ford parts, or antique, and it should come up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I have the one I removed from my Hudson from when I made parts to adapt a modern driveshaft. ( see picture above) I wasn’t able to find parts to service it. that’s why I made parts to put a modern driveshaft in my Hudson. I have been playing around with my 1925 Hudson for about 10 years now. I have found that it is very difficult to find parts for 20s Hudsons. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Roth Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 (edited) I have a spare complete Hudson front axle - 1922(?), and just had a machinist remanufacture and re-fit the Kingpins, Thrust washers, and bushings - completely fitted, and includes hubs and bearings - (wheel spokes are bad) ... then learned it would not fit to replace the one for my 1915 Hudson. This is available for anyone who may need it - Please contact me - PM is best Edited February 15 by Marty Roth (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but no The driveshaft I have is absolutely junk, not repairable , no useable parts, and the wheelbase is deferent, I don’t want to sell/ ship scrap metal. I am just trying to show you how to get past the obstacle of a part that is not serviceable and no longer available. A good driveshaft shop would be able to make you adapters similar to what I have made and make you a custom built driveshaft . John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
