    Is this hold-down bracket from a later seat? What did you use for the edge bead?

    Well, I tested two of my five wipers motors and they work! I just have to install new plugs and wires. After that, some blasting, paint and finding close to correct wipers and arms. Originals are impossible to find.

    I have the cole-hersee plugs if needed.
  4. Prc148
    Yes, so far am planning.

    What durometer? 90? My buddy tried a plastic product that was too hard and he would slide. I’ll try 90 durometer and will adhere to the track. A company is sending me a sample cold vulcanizer to try.

    Tell Mercedes you want the lengths per their new blueprints. The two lengths they told me were incorrect. The Studebaker archives charge $35 to look for prints then charge $3-$5 per page plus shipping. Contrary to most stuff on the internet, weasel prints aren’t free and can get costly pretty darn fast. PM me.

    are you having Vintage Wiring make them? If so, they have the blurprints.

    I’ll get you pictures soon or if you would be heading to Hagerstown...

    Keep on top of the delivery from Poland and post pictures when it arrives. I had a buddy of mine (a professional welder - the guy can weld tin foil) reproduce a bomb box for me and it was pretty darn good. The welds on the sheet steel were very pretty like a stack of dimes.

    I have oscar’s bands here in Virginia. He only accepts cash and won’t ship. I shipped from the UK and was way expensive as a palletized load.

    Beautiful! *I provided the original leads

    per the drawings and tm: One drawing for all spark wires. A separate drawing for coil wire.

    $30 flat research fee, $5/printed sheet + postage. So if you need some specs, give them several to search to make it less painful on the wallet.

    I just received the drawings from Studebaker today. My first lengths were way too long. Coil to distributor is 50% too long also.
  15. Prc148
    so far I’ve found the measurements are incorrect

    I’m cutting spark plug wires as close to original material as possible (even have supressors) but the TM/FM only have diameter (7mm), not length. These below were passed to me but unfortunately not by cylinder number. Could anyone here be able to verify lengths or should I get a 1942 Studebaker Champion set from an auto parts store to measure? -19” -21” -24” -19 1/2” -23 1/2” -24” -17” coil My current set is aftermarket and seems long. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks for the input! No bevel so the rubber is it.

    To follow up on this topic, Mercedes at Vintage Wire says she is out of spark plug resistor ends. If I get them to her, she will assemble. Are these correct from Peter Debella? They are sold individually. What about the rain caps? Rubber or Bakelite? or am I way off?
  19. Prc148
    I’m the guy! Thank you very much. I’ll have to replace some of my plugs with the Cole-Hersee 1465 post-war single post plugs unless I can clean up some of my crusty original spares.

  21. Prc148
    I bought some today and will give a report.
  22. Prc148
    Is there a newer equivalent for Rustoleum light machine gray rattle can? I can only find a gallon and it’s 45 minutes away? All retailers are out of stock. I found one on-line retailer but they charge a haz-mat fee on top of shipping. May have to buy a few newer gray cans to see what’s close.
  23. Prc148
    Dave Yamuilla makes them or had a batch made of the seat backs.

    After a long wait, the weasel is finally back in the garage. I’m working on the right side using a hat channel kit. The only hitch so far us that I’m missing two, the one front of the fuel tank with the 4 bolts and the one that the tank straps to. My fuel tank strap one has the notch that can be salvaged for whatever it was there for. Does anyone here make those two channels? My front hat has little left to measure. I don’t have access to a break. Tub: M29C-3245 Serial: 7340

    Count me in for both
