  • in reply to: Windshield visor bracket needed #481631
    Bob Koch

    I found no source for visor brackets, so I made patterns and had molds made for the lost-wax casting of silicon bronze brackets for my 1703. Interested in buying my molds?

    Why not ask Dave? He is in the roster.

    Al,

    Glad to see the trailer got you home! That’s a really nice car; worth the trip to WA and CA.

    Regards,

    Bob and Diane

    Randy,

    That is a drain tube for any lubricant making it by the first of two axle seals. It’s intended to keep oil from the brakes, you should ensure that it remains open. The original seals were cork or felt and do leak by. I replaced those with modern lip seals, so the drain isn’t needed now.

    I have a 1994 Wells Cargo enclosed 24′ car hauler. It has recent Goodyear Endurance tires and is in excellent condition. It is equipped with  an internal winch and comes with a Draw Tite hitch. E-mail if interested:  BSKoch @comcast.net.

    David,

    My personal experience exactly. I would never patronize SMS again.

    Bob Koch

    Bob,

    I looked, but never found springs for my 1703. Good news is that I have never had a squeal or squeak – about 20 years, so far.

    Regards, Bob

    Steve,

    I made new floorboards for my 1703. The originals were particle board with sheetmetal covers. I used plywood but sandwiched thermal/sound insulation with new sheet metal on the underside.

    Regards. Bob

    A little clarification and update on Paul. The knee replacement was about a year ago. He has not recovered mobility as hoped. Recently, he developed an infection in his left hip which spread to his right knee and both thighs. He is currently on some medication, but the doctors have not yet determined the source of the infection. He will have hospice care as appropriate.

    The above is from my conversation with him yesterday.

    I had a very bad experience dealing with SMS. I would not recommend them.

    Anyone else notice that the Archer is present in the still frames, but missing in the moving scenes?

    The Lester-Steele Handbook, Automobile Specifications, 1915-1942 shows that Series 80 P-A had Sparton horns.

    in reply to: radio antenna #477349
    Bob Koch

    David,

    My 1703 had both the runningboard and roof antenna installed, bur my radio only had one antenna connection (roof). Some radios were set up for both. I fabricated new runningboard antennas before I knew that. If you would like fabrication details let me know via e-mail.

    The roof antenna is simply a wire soldered to the roof “chicken wire”. The chicken wire is mounted to the wood structure only and does not touch the body metal. Mine ran down the driver’s side windshield post.
