1928 526 front brake cable has a few broken strands. Does anyone know of a place that can re-manufacture the brake cable assy?
Cable wear is where the cable passes through the frame so just swedging a barrel on the cable will not work.
I am in Seattle but can send the original cable with end fittings anywhere.
Any help?

Get him on this site if he has extras. I am sure that there are those here that might be looking for something he has. I have a 5th series and am looking for various items.

Thanks to all for the suggestions. I did notch a socket and it worked like a charm.

I will try the socket mod tomorrow. Thanks for the idea.

1928 526 six cyl.

Not many early packard owners close by. I would like to purchase a crank if I could.
The transmission is attached at this point so working with the flywheel is not an option.
I probably should have restored the chassis before the engine but since I had to remove the engine anyway, I got it overhauled first.

My rebuilt engine is sitting on the floor waiting for me to get the chassis ready and I need to prep it for winter. I have a juryrigged hand crank that has one of the tangs broken and I cannot rotate the crank by hand even though the plugs are out. I want to coat the cylinder walls with MMO to prevent rusting in this wet northwest area.
Does anyone know where to purchase a handcrank or is there another way to rotate the crankshaft.

Thanks so much. Just what I needed to see.

My 1928 6 cyl engine is still awaiting installation following rebuild so I went to look at the vibration damper. I did not see any large screws that would attach the front part. I thought I saw one and scratched off the paint but there was no screw. I can only suspect that it was pulled off the shaft as an assembly.

Thanks so much.
For anyone else that has a '27-'29, please post a photo of the assembled runningboard and fender junctions.

Is there no one who knows what size fender bead was used and where it started and stopped on the fenders/runningboard? Even just a photo of one of the members cars from the '26 thru '30 would help.
