Hi all,
I recently received this engine stand (the black one). It was made by the Carswell-Hammond Co in Boone, Iowa. I am looking for the clamp and threaded knob that holds it onto the stand (photos of rusty ones that were on a stand that was on ebay). Does anyone happen to have either of these pieces they'd part with or that they would be willing to loan me so I could cast one of each? Even closer photos with a few measurements would be a great help.
Thanks,
Chris

Little or nothing there to help with the parts you need though.

Thanks Art,
Actually that helps a lot. If I cannot find or borrow parts to copy, I can make a pattern. The patent drawings would make it very easy to build a wooden pattern to scale (adding for shrinkage).
Thanks again,
Chris
