Hoping to build a thread with any history on the “Giant Speed Equipment . I’m guessing they were active in Los Angeles area in the 50s or 60s? I picked up a Gemsa flathead for my T, and noticed how similar the lettering was between the Gemsa and the Giant.

1913-14 riveted rear axle housings with two speed Jumbo driveshaft. It worked well on the car but I think the Jumbo output shaft needs to be shimmed.

These two drag link end caps have been in my stash forever. One opinion is these pressed metal caps were used very early in production. Another branded them cheap, spurious replacements. What say you?
