I have this set of wheel supports that I got years ago from someone who parted out a 1939 Super Eight.
I have always heard that in 1939 the Super Eight used the 120 chassis. I don't have a parts book to verify that statement, and I would like to find a new owner for this pair, but I don't want to misrepresent them in an ad. Would appreciate any input on the subject... The top hole is approximately 1.5" for the shock rubber bushing and the king pin and the lower hole is approximatly .84"

Thanks for all the input.
Of course I was hoping for a more positive answer, but just glad to know what the score is.

It has been 30 years since I had any plating done for a restoration. Back then it was held that if the pot metal was pitted, one would have to strip the item and dig/drill out the offending corrosion before you could copper plate the item.
I am wondering if there is new technology that allows good plating without tedious restoration.

Garage sales can offer some interesting items....
I found a complete antenna salesman's kit several years ago. Needless to say....the seller had no idea what it was. Attach file:  (91.52 KB)

I am puzzled by the font.
Consider this data plate of a 1937 Twelve Limousine.... The '3' and '6' are very different. Attach file: (69.28 KB)

Can you be more specific about acceleration?
Is that from engine idle or slow cruise? Our 526 Six was having difficulty to accelerate above 40 mph. the problem was solved when we removed the inline fuel filter between the vacuum tank and the carb.

If someone organizes a similar showroom of all models of the Fifth Series, we will bring our Convertible Coupe.

The Super Eight wheel is 6 3/8" wide, the center hole is 3 3/4" in diameter and the lug spacing is 3 1/4" center to center.
There is no pin striping on the wheels of our RHD 1500 because the car was repainted when it arrived in England...to "get rid of that gauche ornamentation" Attach file: (379.21 KB)
