HCCA Forums

Thanks for the tip. I made mine from a rubber hammer head. It was on sale with one of those cheap fiberglass handles. Machining the rubber was tough. Someone said to freeze it first.

At sometime in my 2cyl Buick's life the spring clamp ends on one side of the rear axle were twisted off and they could no longer be used without discarding the rebound bumper holder.

My first experience with HCCA and the Gazette was a cover with a high wheeler in a barn. It captured everything I could imagine about a horseless carriage. After joining, each issue with his cover photos was a treasure. I got to sit across from him at a dinner banquet on a tour and he had the most w...

What kind of carburetor do you have on it? The Schebler on my 2-cyl Buick worker poorly until I found the correct float setting. It has functioned beautifully since.
