Hello!
I´m looking for a Mercury front axle and/or other parts for Mercury speedster such as
radiator, radiator emblem, aluminium fotsteps.

Kind regards,

not very nice Richard

He’s just throwin it out there, just in case, right? Some have refused to sell parts overseas but Johnny is no joke and it won’t be a problem. Hope he will post a vid that I saw recently of his motor running on the chain drive mag! - Chris, in Boulder

If you need help with shipping from the US to Sweden I will be glad to help.

Johnny should get axle if he complete tranasaction, I only offered if he did not buy it I wanted to be second in line I'm not a vulture as some seem to think

That is how I read your post Richard. Seemed to me like you just wanted to be second in line, sorry if it came across like I was being sarcastic. “The Vultures” would be a cool name for a car club, or softball team or surf rock band tho…
Now, how about that engine vid Jonny!?

I would very much like to buy it. I would be the luckiest man alive. It Will complete my mercury speedster project! Last big missing piece.

"Want Ads" really do work. Am very happy for you Jonny

Were all Merc axles dropped? Were they straight. Thanks Dan

Hey- I'm glad the axle is going to complete Johnny's project, but we really need to see a picture of the Mercury!!

Found the rest of the information for the above picture. In searching I found more recent pictures of Mercury axles that wer dropped on speedsters and only a few not dropped. Couldn't much but perhaps someone has the article Hap mentions --

Oh so close --

Her cloths look period correct. His don't. 50/50 if its a period photo or one to look like one

He's a time traveler Frank. The History Channel knows all about this.


Jonny,

Congratulations on finding the axle. When I first saw your wanted ad I thought, "Good luck! No way!"
Have fun!
