Autocar wheels were all steel.

robert daniello

I believe those are Autocar wheels.

robert daniello

Where in CT?

robert daniello

I am interested in the 2-screw.

robert daniello

Jay, Sent you a message...

robert daniello

Donnie,

I will take it if still available. Sending email now.

robert daniello

I think they are to keep the brake rods from rattling on the radius rods. Anyway, I am interested if you are looking to sell them.

robert daniello

I will take the speedo and curved tailpipe

robert daniello

You should have no trouble with this, if you can find suitable patch material, both upholstery material and a coating similar to what was used in the original material. Roofing tar was the joke, but that might actually be along the right lines. A 100 year old top dressing would be even better. Here ...

robert daniello

Rodger,

Looks like a worthwhile project, I'll give it a shot if still available. Following up with a message.

robert daniello

Neverouts were made in brass and iron, original brass ones are very tough to find. I have never seen one for sale off of a car. The brass originals that I have seen have all had round tapered tail lamp posts rather than a blade style. Originals also had patent dates stamped into the brass in additio...

Neil, if you want to give it a go, I recommend buying a poor condition radiator to fix, unless you current one is hopelessly bad, ie has a fan sticking through it. You could try Bob's radiator in Agawam, I know they will touch old radiators, not sure about re-coring or if paying for a professional r...

robert daniello

I will take a mixture escutcheon if there is still one available. Let me know how you would like me to send you the money.

Laminated glass would not be less likely to crack, just would contain all the pieces it it does, either way still broken. The mirrors are the difficult and expensive piece, flat glass can be sacrificed to the acetylene gods (if that was the cause). If you did want something that might survive an ace...

Jay, I will take it if still available...

robert daniello

Tom,

I will take it if still available.

robert daniello

Nice work! This one has a Peter Helck feel to it...

robert daniello

Thanks! Let me know how to pay, I sent you an email.

robert daniello

George, I will take the T809, will follow up by email.

robert daniello

I would use boiled linseed oil, the closest to an archival/reversible finish you will likely get, plus since it is a drying oil, it will not leave an oily mess. Keep the coat very thin, you aren't painting it, it may take a week or so to be fully dry. Put oily rags outdoors, preferably after soaking...

robert daniello

I sent an email and a message through the site, please let me know if those were received.

Also, which way were they adhered, ie. Text reading from front of lid to back of lid or the other way around? It is completely missing from my box.

John, sent you a message.

robert daniello

What is the pipe size on it? 3/4?

robert daniello

I highly recommend Frank Casey of Millbury MA. I am fortunate that he is local to me, but he receives broken iron from all across the country. If he can't stitch it, it can't be stitched.

robert daniello

Jay,

I will take those.

robert daniello

Jay,

I will take it.

Never mind the coolant, I want to hear more about that International (I presume)!

My father ordered a case of "Evans Waterless Coolant for Air-Cooled Engines" for his non-T and, a week later, a box of empty jugs showed-up on the front stoop.

robert daniello

I don't think that's daylight, just a glint of light reflecting off oil/grease sitting on top of the bushing (which appears to be short). It is hard to judge wear based on that photo, but I would be more comfortable if I saw more wear on the top of the yoke. Scary.

robert daniello

Tom, I am interested in your can holder, let me know how I should pay you.

Robert

robert daniello

Scott,

Sent you a message about it.

robert daniello

Allan, I like that idea as it is reversible like an archival repair. My only other thought would be laser welding if you have a suitable specialist nearby, done properly the heat affected zone would be thinner than a pencil line it’s quite remarkable in the right hands, Among other things, have seen...

robert daniello

I think that I would remove the inner cable, clean the sheath, and silver solder just the damaged joint to make a fillet to bridge the broken section. Compressing along the axis of the sheath may help bring it together before soldering. That should be almost undetectable when finished and you will o...

Good eye Jerry! A google reverse image search shows that is a Dorothea Lange photo:

The increased travel may still not be enough for some...Regardless with modern fuel and at the relatively higher speeds that we are using these cars today a bit more advance should be perfectly acceptable, provided that it can be done without affecting timing at start and low rpm...

robert daniello

Although I have not tried, it should be simple enough to redesign the linkage arm to achieve full retard at start and full advance on the hand lever. Doing so may require driving with the spark lever a bit more and backing off on the timing when the engine is at low speed. With all of the "improveme...

robert daniello

If anyone has an original that they are looking to part with, I would be interested. I have a partially unrestored 12 torpedo, I am looking to highlight the unrestored parts of the car, patina is good!

robert daniello

I believe the Bermuda name is much later as well. The earlier ones were made by Bevin Bell in CT, although I have also seen them marked with names of retailers who sold them, but those seem otherwise identical to the ones marked Bevin.

robert daniello

The early ones were plated brass. Some may also have been plated steel, at least partially. The brass ones have a crisper tone than the later ones.

robert daniello

Could you send me your number to discuss the engine?

robert daniello

Jay, I will take it,

Robert

What happened with the Cadillac demi-tonneau? Looks like an 11?

robert daniello

Jay, I will take it, following up by email.

Thanks,

robert daniello

I wouldn’t mind finding an older one in heavily used condition or even better an original, for a car with an original interior. Something that looks 110 years old. A fresh one just wouldn’t look right.

robert daniello

This one is a long shot, but seeing that another member appears to have recently found a pull starter I will try for something even more weird. Does anyone have an air starter, such as a Kellogg air starter like this: Screenshot 2023-01-21 151414.png 20230121_101917copy.jpg Other manufacturers are f...

robert daniello

I am looking for a 7 rivet crankcase for an otherwise fairly correct early '12. For some reason someone changed the block onto to a wide nose pan and the original was not saved, perhaps it was damaged. Anyway, please let me know if you have one that you are looking to sell. Also, looking for an alum...

robert daniello

Also found a couple better ones (that are indoors) and a demountable rim. One square felloe front wheel and one demountable front (to which someone added decorative metal discs for unknown reasons, easily removed). Also one demountable rim. Make an offer if interested. 20230115_154124 - post.jpg 202...

robert daniello

I have some wheels that needed to be removed from the shed. These are project grade parts, nothing usable as is but some good parts here. No unreasonable offer refused. Pickup in the Springfield MA area, not worth shipping. Message for more photos.

robert daniello

I will take a 9.

robert daniello

Do you have any more of the one at the 11 o’clock position? If so, I will take one.

robert daniello

Mark,

I will take them!

Robert

robert daniello

Hello,
I am interested in the two long splitdorf plugs on the lower left.

Thanks,
Robert

robert daniello

Still it seems odd that there appear to be documented examples where either number could be higher (and by many thousands).

robert daniello

Found the body number B (upside down) 52559

robert daniello

It may be just as interesting even if we can't find any pattern to it... Anyway, I'll throw in one more. I have a car # 949xx, engine 105xxx (still on right side of the block) and radiator #963xx. I believe all three components have always been together, known history since '56, although in 110 year...

robert daniello

It is interesting that the car number and motor number discrepancy seem to run both ways, the present post and some in the cited post having car numbers higher than the engine while the inspectors ticket on the cited post shows engine higher than car number. Has anyone attempted to track these? I ca...

Payment sent for sediment bulb #3

robert daniello

I just sent you an email with the zip code. Thanks.

robert daniello

Is brass sediment bowl #3 still available? If so I am interested.

robert daniello

Interesting to see the sediment bulb on the tank is the conventional, rather than the torpedo, type. My mid '12 production US torpedo has the same setup. I had thought mine may have been changed as a later repair, but perhaps not. I would be curious to see the door jambs and under seat compartment o...

robert daniello

Recently, I had the opportunity to purchase a '12 Torpedo formerly owned by a family friend. It is a nice genuine torpedo, partially restored in the '50s. It was driven quite a bit as an antique up through the 70s or so. At points during its history it had various rear bodies installed, including a ...
