Found one! Thanks guys!

Dan, so there is a cap on the stems that are then covered by the dust covers? Learning more every day… Yes, a dust cap covers the metal stem. The valve cap seals the stem to prevent water intrusion to the valve inside the stem. The dust cap covers all to keep dirt off. Dust cap screws onto the rim ...

Didn’t the earlier spiders have a double keyway?

Tbird

I have 6 888 Schrader stems. The threads are pretty nice. Only to of them are a little bit rubbed down on one side. All thread very nice still. These are just a little shorter than the 777s but still work well with the dust covers and rim nuts. $125 plus shipping.

I picked up this from what looks like a complete Diamond tire repair kit. There is still talc in the tube. It’s missing the two Diamond Tire irons. On the small envelope it says: -2 valve insides (I’m assuming these are the pieces that thread into the Schrader stems) -2 valve caps (I don’t know what...

I would be interested in some covers. Will you do one for Carbide generators as well?

Tbird

I have 3 Schrader 777 stems and 1 Dill TR3 stem, bridge washers and nuts. The dill is the same size as the 777 stems. Not perfect but hardware does thread on them.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with me. My next question is what cad program do like to use or would suggest? Fitz Fitz, Depends on what you’re wanting to spend.

One of them (early body) is in pieces that he acquired at Hershey. That one he copied and built. The other (knock down body) was acquired from someone who posted it for sale in the classifieds.

Andre, There are a couple differences, between the 10-13 rear body brackets. The 1909-10 had the rear fender irons also attached to the rear body brackets they are called butterfly brackets. The 11-13 eliminated the need of the rear body brackets with the rear fender irons. The brackets are held on ...

That is not a good seat spring assembly. It relies solely on the hessian top cover to hold the springs in place. A properly assembled seat spring base has the springs held/tied to each other so that when one sits on it, the load is spread over more than a couple of springs. A Snyders spring seat as...

Had there been proper internet bidding I would have been on a couple of those radiators. Maybe we will see some parts listed here for sale soon. Thanks for the report.

They were doing over the phone bidding. Some guy in the East coast was buying a lot of stuff.

The auction had a good turnout. Great to see some forum members. Good prices on some early stuff. Early 10,11 heads went for $200. V brass radiator sold for $1500. Brass radiators were selling for $800-1100. Torpedo column sold for $1200-1300. Scat crank shafts were selling for $1000+. Early open va...

Daniel, this is a stamping. The material is steel. It’s not as heavy gauge as the originals but it’s not flimsy either.

Can this tool be used with the engine in the car?

I believe so. Since there is very little room in a three dip pan this allows the user to connect the bolt to the socket and then turn it cranking it out.

Very interesting Mark. I thought I had saw a photo somewhere of them being black… it looks though if the reproductions are brass.
