Hi Guys !
Should be able to find someone to make these from a sample ! A good blacksmith ,
If I was retired and with spare time I could copy my 30u brackets as they look the same !
Unfortunatly days are too short .
Cheers Tony.

Hi Frank !
I asked a similar question at the platers that I used they told me that pot metal is not the best material to plate and it's worse when it's old ,it also gets brittle with time !
Cheers Tony.

If solar charger is to be used and left connected it must have a solar controller or reg connected between solar panel and battery other wise battery will overcharge !
I use a similar system on my boat and hasn't been turned of for 2 years now  still going strong ?

Look up 6v solar charger try this link http://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=6v%20solar%20charger&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CDsQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fstore.sundancesolar.com%2Ftrchforcatrr.html&ei=nZKXULH6I8aNiAeKqYHIDg&usg=AFQjCNH5WgmvKop5MfkPXaJfz6D0Tqwouw&sig2=18ZHNsTRAimJO4IWty0maA

Here are some pics at Chrysler show !

The old girl is back on the road with a spare parts Gearbox made from 2 boxs the original is still at machine shop ,and I hade to get it back on the road for a Chrysler show here in Melbourne last weekend and all went well !

Sounds a little like valve train noise ,valve seats could be sticking with head of valves !
Timing chain to loose! Cam followers to sloppy in there bores !
With pins try lots of penatrine and heat that s not an easy one !
Good luck !

They look like late 1930 to 32 and they would fit my 30u
Cheers Tony

First lot of rollers fixed now waiting on 2nd lot for free Wheel drum ! May as well do them all while it's apart
Do once do it right , it's been out of action for almost 4 weeks it's like forever !
Cheers Tony

Hi Chet!
          First thing I did was check oil level and was full , on closer inspection found that ends of needle rollers had been grinding them self at mainly one end  possible one cause is that wrong type of needle rollers used,
The ones causing problems are squared ends instead of rounded ends !
Just waiting on machine shop to do there machining so I can use caged rollers .
Cheers Tony

Hi all !!
Returned home last weekend from Club meet in Nunnawading , when i returned home noticed a slight grumbling sound, on further investigation and removal of gearbox ! found that front input shaft needle rollers are on there way out , they certainly did not last long under 600 miles in fact, going to have main shaft and input shaft modified to take torrington caged rollers they are supposed to be more durable. Fingers crossed !!
May even take this opertunity to look into a overdrive !
Cheers Tony.

Had similar issue with 30u and lined up crank hole with pulley (lower)
Since found a new old stock !
Cheers Tony
