Re: Resurrecting a 1951 Henney-Packard Parts Car

I didn’t get much done on the car today as I wanted to fix my floor jack which I needed in order to lift the Patrician parts car a bit higher on its dollies so that I could get under it to remove the parking brake parts. Without the jack (which appears irreparable) I managed to get the pieces off the backing plate but that was about it. I thought the jack needed oil so I added some but it didn’t help.
Now that the pieces are off, I realize that they are incorrect as Henney had their own so I’ll have to order some. Even the screws are different with some models having standard 5/16-24 while others including the 1954 Patrician having the self-tapping 5/16-12 as shown here. All the other parts are the same, though so once I get them off, the parking brake is good to go (or rather, to not go!). Of course, there are no brakes in the drums yet but that's just a detail.
