Manufacturing Fund Forum / 1951 Dleuxe remove headlight switch

« on: April 16, 2023, 04:45:57 PM »

Hello All,
I need to remove the headlight switch,I have read the service manual and it states how to remove the Knob.
There is no slot under the switch that enables me to release the clamp spring.The manual mentions a set screw first then speaks of the clamp spring as the other alternative.Does anyone have a photo that can show me where the clamp spring is located the casing has three ribs on the bottom but there are no holes anywhere I can see .
Thanks as always

THello Retroguy,
here is an adjustable chrome Frame that is made for the larger 1950"s year of Manufacture plates. I have used them several times .They were an accessory available for the 1955 Chevrolet and is still sold as a reproduction. I have included the E bay Link.

Well just an update thanks to Chris from willow Run who referred me to French Lake Auto Parts I was able to get a Shift Lever Housing from a 49,000 mile parts car.It has been installed and the Car shifts as it should and is no longer jamming.

Kaiser Forum / Shift Lever Housing

« on: July 10, 2021, 07:03:41 AM »

Hello All,
 1951 Deluxe 3 speed standard
 I have a lot of play in my Shifter and my mechanic has told me most of it is caused by the Shift Lever Housing.
Is this a serviceable part?I do not see any type of bushings that may need replacement.
I have checked the Service Manual but cannot find an answer.I have also replaced the shifter Linkage Bushings and hopefully that will help tighten things up as well.

Hello All,
Watching Television last night I saw a new Hyundai commercial that had a Kaiser in the Background  not sure if a 52 or 53 could not see the rear of the Car. After doing a double Take I watched it again and there She was.Nice to see our Kaiser's get the appreciation they deserve.
