I looked through my original 1909-10 Locomobile Service and Repair Manual to see what I could determine about the gas cap differences between a Model L and a Model M. With much study I could find plenty of Locomobile part numbers for a wide variety of mechanical parts but nothing for the fuel delive...

Hello Paul,
I will check to see what my scant literature may tell me about the interchange of gasoline caps.

hhmmm then you can get to the "semi racer"

Here is a picture of a 1913 Locomobile 48 gasoline cap provided by another forum poster. Does anyone know if it is the same as would be found on a 1909-10 Locomobile Model L?

I am desirous to get an idea for the gasoline cap. I will build what I need or get a casting, but I do want to end up withas would have been from the factory. Can anyone share a picture from a four cylinder car or an early 6 cylinder car, (Locomobile)?
Al

I have got one nice side shot of a new Locomobile Model L, at the factory, I can see no stripping on it at all. But that only tells me that the particular automobile in the picture may not be ready for release and shipment yet. What are your thoughts and ideas?
Al

Rest In Peace Charley....

Nice story you added! Can anyone else ad pictures of an original 4 cylinder Locomobile, (any model)? I am wanting to verify several small details, on my automobile as well as to get some ideas of what was done to the paint job to make them great.

I have been scrounging around to see if I can determine the degree of original paint striping that would have been found on my type Locomobile when new. That said, a while back I noticed a couple of original pictures of a 1911 or 1912 Locomobile Model L Toy Tonneau and bought them. Now the study beg...

Good advice.....Take care of the education and training of the next generation, wisdom comes to our youth with time! Keep us in the loop with your Overland Jeff.

Hello Pete, Good idea you suggested. I do know if the starter has been properly rebuilt and it still will not crank as it should, the amps are not flowing. Jeff will get this issue resolved and away he will go. That is surely a good "TIP" or advice for the day.

Nice update Jeff! awwhhh, If we didn't have a hard spot every once in a while none of us would be very tough! Lucky for you it was just an oil leak! I have been in a similar position except it was one of those pronounced "knocks" from the belly of the engine. My remedy was not pretty! On the slow cr...

Here is my "Tip" of the day. I just received from a gracious friend a cope of the 1908 Locomobile book. If anyone needs any information that would be in the 1908 manual, please ask.
Al

Other derivatives that are the same in actual nomenclature are "Baby" and "Pony" tonneau. Am i right in my thinking? what are the thoughts of others?
Al

Jeff, It is nice to hear a "GOOD" "TIP of THE DAY". Any new developments on the speedster?
Al

Jeff, Bob did a very nice job on your black faced instruments.
Al

When I get just a bit further along with my restoration I will post pictures of my project with the lights installed.
Al

Hello Jeff,
I will check with Bob's shop. I have used them for restoration and set-up work for a speedo on another project. Did the do your faces restoration also? Would you share a photo of one of your instrument faces?
