20 T Speedster Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I think this fits a 1909-1910 Buick Model 10 but I could be wrong. Any thoughts? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne sheldon Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Weston-Mott and several other companies manufactured similar axles in a bunch of variations in size, minor and major variations in shape, and strengths, for literally hundreds of makes, models, and across several years even for individual variations. The Fuller I used to have had Mott axles front and rear. The rear was only slightly different than what Buick used for a couple years. The front was identical to the front axles for a couple models of Buick for about three years. My Fuller was a bit different from this axle, different Buick models. Such an axle could likely be from a Buick, some model or another, or it could have been from a dozen similar size cars of the era. Someone very familiar with Buicks of those years might be able to pinpoint the models and years it would be correct for (or not?). In many cases, people putting together lesser marques simply have to use something of appropriate era close to correct fit and size. Numerous measurements matter. Approximate track width (hub variations can affect that!). The spacing and sizes of the spring mounts is very important! The tube axle size diameter, weight (strength?) are important. Smaller cars often used lighter tubing. That axle could work very well for a lot of cars! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
