Wanted for my 54 HJ project

[joefrazer]

Well, now that I've been able to sort thru what's there, I've found alot that isn't. So, here's my wish list for my 54 HJ Corsair DeLuxe (6 cyl). I do have some 51 HJ stuff that I would be willing to use as trading material. Inquire.

- Overdrive cable and dash mount bracket
- Driver side horn mount bracket
- Passenger side front inner fender
- Air cleaner
- Grille mount brackets
- Driver side park light housing (NOS or very good used)
- Driver side tail light housing (NOS or very good used)
- Hood ornament (pot metal parts - I have the nose)
- Transmission and rear axle spicer style u-joint yokes

I know...it's quite a list but there might be someone out there with a few spares.

I need the H J hood support clip that holds the hood support rod to the radiator shroud. It acts as a hinge If you have one ,I would appreciate it.

Be aware that some '53/'54 drive shafts are different than the '51.  If the '53/'54 does not have overdrive, it will have the other type of U-joints.  It's easy to modify but you need to know this if you're planning on swapping as you'll need to replace the companion flanges too.

My 54 was not originally equipped with OD so it now has Detroit style u-joints. I'd like to swap to the spicer style as that's the drive shaft I have, not to mention the simpler maintenance. I'm having a tough time finding the latter style flanges, however.

Had a great visit with Jim G yesterday and now have a few things crossed off my want list. He provided the grille/splash pan brackets and better inner fenders. His project is coming along nicely...I have to tell you I was impressed with the quality of his work.

Thanks Jim!

OK, I found a few more odds and ends for the project but I'm still looking for headliner bow clips. Has anyone any experience with using an alternative?

I've attached a picture of what I'm looking for.

Jim, have you tried contacting this seller?

I got some odds and ends from him over the past two years. He likely has some - contact him through ebay and attach a picture.

Thanks to a fellow KFer, I now have the headliner clips I need. But, I'm still after the following for my 54HJ:

Left tail light housing
Headlight switch
Transmission and rear axle Spicer style yolks
