Looking for King Pins and Spring Hangers

[Cory]

Thanks for all the information...I received my King Pins and seals. Things are going back together now. My dad fixed up the original Spring Hanger pins and they fit perfect. I'm on the lookout for a rad shell. The one we have is in pretty rough condition. Does anyone happen to have one for a '30?

Thanks...

From the July-August 2006 Plymouth Bulletin classified ad section:

"Axle seals, rear outer reproduced from billet stock with modern nitrile sealing compond for Ply 1928-29 Q, U; 30-U; 31-32 PA, PB, Dod 20-33, DeS 28-35, Chry 30-37. . ."

Thanks again for the info...If you could supply me with the contact info for the fellow who makes new rear axle seals that would be much appreciated.

[TodFitch]

There is a fellow that advertises in the Plymouth Bulletin that makes new rear axle seals (modern seals in a billet stock machined holder) for early Plymouths. I believe that he is located in the Pacific Northwest. If you are a member of the national club, look in a recent issue. If not, I'll try to remember to look it up tonight when I get home.

As for suspension parts, Rare Parts in Stockton, California is a good bet. If they don't have the spring hanger pins they can make new ones based on your old part. Once they do that they add it to the list of parts they will sell to anyone. Net result is the next guy (or girl) that comes a long and needs the part will be able to get it. Believe it or not, they manufacture and sell the steering drag link for my 1933.

Thanks for the info...I have found a King Pin set (and even a rear pinion seal). I'm still looking for the Spring hanger pins and now for some outer axel seals. The project is coming along nicely.

Didn?t find Your email adress, here is my list
(sorry, boring for the others)

Monthly Hemmings motor news ( www.hemmings.com) is the most valuable help  in finding sources.

Try Andy Bernbaum?s, don?t know if they have Your parts on hand, but they have a lot of Mopar stuff! Very fast service and very friendly and reliable people! I never had problems with them in all these years, but others had when sending back unuseful parts.

Bernbaum?s auto parts   315 Franklin Street
Newton, MASS.  02158
Phone   + 617- 244- 1118         FAX   + 617- 244- 1164

You can also try Roberts or Pro Antique - got nice, fast service for a few placed orders from both:

The biggest seems to be Kanter, because it was very difficult to get a competent Clerk. Parts for my 1951 were good, minus one pair of too big exentric front end bushings, which would have been taken back by them. They had no advice on correct bushings and I preferred to  have them milled down to fit here in Germany

Kanter,   76 Monroe Street
Boonton,   NJ  07005
Phone: 973-334-9575   FAX 973-334-5423   www. kanter.com

Prices are high everywhere, all have good catalogs.

I have no own experience with the following:

(from Bill Ward): ?For whatever it is worth, my opinion is that the two best parts suppliers out there are:

NEIL RIDDLE -  (206) 285-6534 -  

Neil is a pleasure to work with and often has stuff that nobody else has.  He works hard to keep his stock fresh and he always has something new.  Neil doesn't have a website but I've never had any problem reaching him by email or by phone. ?

Thanks,
