Re: Brass Radiator repair questions
I think a radiator shop could remove and switch the top tanks. If you could find someone that repairs brass music instruments for schools they might be able to straighten your tank after the radiator shop removes it or replace the outlet and inlet with the ones from your tank. If your radiator is wo...

front wheel bearings
I have new timken tapered inner an outer front wheel bearings for my 1914. The hubs still have the cups or races in them for the ball bearings. Is it just a matter of removing the old races and replacing them with the tapered races and using a thinner spindle washer under the spindle nut? Also, the ...

Re: My 15 won't start
I had a similar no start problem with my 1911 that had sat apart for years. R.V. Anderson told me to check for a restriction in the intake manifold. I could not believe what came from way up in the manifold that could not be seen from either end. This manifold had even been to a machine shop to be m...

Re: fender brackets
Langs lists the rivets as oval head. Restoration Supply lists those threaded rivets in round and truss head. Are the "oval" head rivets the same as a truss head? What size should the head be? Thanks, Art

fender brackets
My 1914 has one missing fender bracket and the others have carriage bolts instead of rivets attaching them to the fenders. Are the brackets available and should they be attached with oval head rivets instead of the bolts? How are the rivets installed without denting the fender? Thanks, Art
