I just sent my hubs and fellows to Callimers wheel Shop in PA,he did agreat job and was reasonable. MEL.

Mel King

Who would rebabbitt heavy rods and return them ? MEL.

Mel King

What I meant is the disc drum slides on the main shaft instead of presses on like the later ones with the three washers .MEL.

Mel King

I have run into two 1915 trans with brake drums that have the big bushings and the clutch disc drum does not press on and they both were running. Has anybody else run across this? Oh,and they are not worn . MEL.

Mel King

Thanks for all the advice . MEL.

Mel King

Whoops! There it goes!

Mel King

The reason I asked is the ones in my 15 have up to 60 tho side to side play on almost new babbitt . MEL

Mel King

Mel King

I finally was able to paint Vernen's rear fenders after about a week working on them even they are nos from over 40 years ago. The right one went on great because of the correct iron. I have to buy a left one for 23-25 coupe roadster to put the other on . I also got my rear wheal back and on . :lol:...

Mel King

I started to put my rear fenders on my roadster and it lacked 1/2 inch or more at running board too close.Then I saw a difference in length, one was 10+1/2 the other was 12 from base to flat where the fender bolts on. They have not been bent. I thought they were the same length from 15 -25. :? :? Wh...

Mel King

That is just it ,no one will let me use there machines even though I have the experience so I have to find someone that will do it for me cause I do not have the machines. MEL

Mel King

MEL.

Mel King
