I have about four boxes of Steele Rubber from an estate I was helping with. Most of this is Pre-War. I pulled all the parts I need for my ’37, and I've allowed friends to pick through it for stuff they need for their projects. Also, I’ve I bartered with rubber for parts I need for the ’37, but now it's time for the rest to move along and free up some storage space.

So here is a current list of what I have available, about 218 total items. Nearly all are in their original Steele Rubber bags. Some are bulk pieces and came packaged together in the same bag. So those will come loose.

Steele Rubber Inventory

PLEASE READ FIRST!!

The above PDF contains the spreadsheet of what I have, the QTY, and the MSRP price. I am asking 30% of the list. So, if a piece lists for a MSRP for $100, you can have it for $30, aka 70% off of the price. It’s a great deal!

The descriptions and applications came directly from the packaging. But, I have found that the same part number can have two different descriptions on different bags. So don't trust that alone.

Go to Steele Rubber's website. Tell them exactly what year and model you have. That will give you a list of everything they have that fits your car. Then by the Steele Rubber part number, look it up on my spreadsheet and see if I have one. You will find more matches that way vs. just looking at my spreadsheet, as the application and description on the packaging are not always clear or correct.

If you see some parts you want, let me know, referring to the Steele Part Number. Buyer pays First Class USPS shipping from 60542.

First come, first served. So based on what you want, I’ll confirm I still have it and give you a price. Please PM me your full name and shipping address to calculate the shipping.

I’ll update the PDF the above link points to as I sell things off.

Thanks!

Seems I will have to actually go and buy some steel as I made up the first from some scrap and demand is mounting.

After a long sleep I would expect an empty lifter to silence in less than 15 minutes.

Probably good to PM me if you want a tester so I'm sure we get hooked up.

Already ordered, but thank you!

I got a mess of lifters . . . .

Quote:

Here's a couple of videos. The FB post is from when the car was first started, so very little run time or tuning. The video of the lifters is a couple weeks later after running it more and getting it tuned better. A sticky valve is certainly a possibility.

Pain to get off.
Need a long hot plate.

This must be a 2 layer pcb . now to figure out where 87a and 30 are connected.

If this can be made to work.

Without pins fitting no problem.

Might have to replace a part. Knocked insulation off.

Might be a resistor..


Edit.


To cut power to 87a. Easiest is to cut foil .


87a contact is solder blob between d4.d5

My 1954 Patrician that was fully rebuilt including new lifters, driven as an everyday car and on club tours, then was abruptly parked over 40 years ago and recently brought back to life. When cold, it has a noisy lifter which goes away after it warms up. Based on the sound on mine, I think it’s a sticky valve rather than a bad lifter so without hearing yours, it’s difficult to say.

Ross, do they come with an empty SPAM can? Even better a full one that needs to be emptied?

On a serious note, for a car with a noisy lifter that has recently been started back up, after not running for many years/decades, how long does a person wait/hope that the lifter is only sticky, and will free itself up, before cleaning and testing the lifters?

You still need the floats? I think I saved my plastic ones after I did the efi sender… just have to find what box I dropped them in.
