Has anyone a spare drive end plate (Part GAL-1065) for a GAL-4105 or GAL-4107 generator? This plate is about 6 3/4" across at the widest and is stamped inside with GAL-65. I'm also looking for good armatures - GAL-2066 and GT-2006.
Thanks
Durant friends,
As you know, I am offering my Durant for sale....an unrestored, original vehicle with only a few negatives. Rather than see it lost to the world....or to see it stay with me and maybe never get restored or used ....I am asking all of you out there in...
I am looking for a small chromed piece that is on either side of the car near the back past the rear door. Mine is a touring. Not sure of the name of it. It seems like a cap but screws on and is part of the whole canopy top mechanism. Any help as to where I could fin...
Blackboard was available some years ago in the US. It is a reasonably stiff rubber sheeting that could be used as replacement firewall, rumble seat side panel liner etc. It was covered by the upholstery of your choice. The sheets were 3/16" to 1/4" thick and would be...
Billy C. must be smiling upon me and my garage because I have made some good progress with the fleet lately. The Durant is running better than ever.
Is there a recommended speed to set the idle? After adjusting the valves and fiddling with the mixture it is runn...
Sometime in the near future I will be needing some information on body paint colors that Durant offered in their lineup for 1928. This body year was manufactured by the Hayes-Hunt Body Co for Durant's assembly plant at the Elizabeth NJ site. Does anyone have names or...
Does anyone have paint chips that covers the 1929 Durants? Specifically my color is blue body, black fenders and grey trim but there are only 2 blues listed on the paint color list on the tech page. Any help would be appreciated. Phil
I have just located some NOS distributor housings (p/n GT-121 Generator Ignitor Housing Extensions) for the 1928-1929 Durants with Continental 14L & 15L engines. These are the right angle drive housings that adapt the distributor to the end of the generator. It turns...
Sorry to be a bother - but the car I bought, a 1930 617 standard coupe, does not have a a vin plate on the passenger side firewall, but there is a plate on the passenger side floor with the #L1739. Would this be the vin # for title purposes? I'm nervous as, apparentl...
The rumble seat couple I just bought, with the "6," doesn't have the hood with horizontal bars, but appears to be the "4" cylinder hood with vertical venting..Did some 6 cylinder cars come with the vertical vent hood sides, or has someone changed the hood? thanks, gary
OK - just answered my own question with a little more research. It appears I own the "standard 617," and according to a corrected replacement brochure A-30-617, the car did, indeed, come with vertical hood louvers.. Thanks - looking foward to joining the organization...

Hi all:
Wondering if anyone has a 28 or 29 Durant coupe parts car that they have the seats they can part with. I would like to get the proper wood framework also.
Thanks, Gary
Guy's post about camber settings got me thinking about old tires. Then I remembered that the Shay club had a recent post on the subject . Here is a link to an ABC story that will show you how to discover the date your tires were made, at least within the last 15 y...
Last year I took my front axle to a machine shop and they set my camber to the apropos 1 degree positive camber (i.e. top further apart then bottom and with no car weight).
Theory says this should get me to 0 degree camber with weight on.
Some call me "St. Thomas...

I have a big need for a part. The vacuum fuel assist is broken. The hose attached to it was bumped and the vaccuum line broke off. It is pot metal so it will not weld very easy. Any help on locating this part would be a great help.

After I finished the eager little Durant started on the second try! How I have missed this car.

I just finished rebuilding the Spicer joint on the '27. The DMAC tech pages on this rebuild were invaluable. I made the fixture from 1/8" x 1 1/4" mild steel with 1/4" screws and wing nuts. This worked very nice and made reassembly a breeze. I found the 1" rubber bal...
