1954 Henry J parts wanted
« on: August 03, 2015, 01:17:17 PM »
Looking for the following:

- Front and rear license plate brackets.
- Left and right horns. Apparently, they differ from the big Kaiser units...the electrical connections are on the opposite side. Go figure.
- Driver side wiper arm. I have the passenger side and new blades.
- Overdrive cable and dash mount bracket. Aside from the mount bracket, the cable and knob are the same as 49-50 Kaiser.
- Speedometer drive gear (attaches to transmission end of cable) for a car with OD. The shop manual says it should be an 18 tooth gear.

Help!

Let me look around Jim.
I know you can replace just the head on the speedo gear with this one -

So if you have a bad or ground up speedo gear, you can replace the pinion.

I've located the horns, rear license plate bracket and speedo gear but I'm still after the following:

- OD cable and bracket
- Correct headlight switch. There are plenty available on the aftermarket but they reuire drilling the dash to make the mount hole round - or grinding the switch mount post to match the existing dash mount hole. I'd rather go for installing the right switch.
- Driver side wiper arm

Also, a local fellow who's rebuilding a 51 HJ four is looking for a good block. He has everything else, he just needs a four cylinder block.

If your friend wants to travel to Ontario, Canada he can have my 51 running 4cyl for free. Henry.
