1911 Stewart Speedometer Swivel Information

Post by DontKnowMuch » Fri Mar 11, 2022 5:25 pm

I would like to find a picture of the parts that are missing from this 1911 Stewart Speedometer Swivel. I got it with some other speedometer parts and would like to complete it. I believe it to be the early 1911 swivel because of the small, brass grease cap.
Any help will be appreciated.

Your swivel parts are indeed a 1911 Stewart Model 1800 swivel. You are missing the input shaft sleeve, and worm gear shaft. The sleeve is often missing because the wedge pin was the only thing holding the sleeve to the pot metal housing....a very poor design. Also, the collar that holds the gear in place is threaded and the knurled nut that holds the pinion gear to the threaded collar is very hard to find. Good luck in your quest finding parts. I hope this helps. Russ Furstnow
