Packard Forum Index » Pre-War (1899-1942)

I have scoured my shop from top to bottom and can't find my supply of union nuts. These are the nuts that fasten the Bijur lines to each destination and retain the drip plugs. They are Packard part number 14627. If anyone has a few extra, I would be happy to buy them. These are for a 6th series ca, but were also used at least on the 4th series.

Thanks

If no one on the forum has what you need have you tried what is left of Classic and Exotic to see if they might still have anything? They are selling off their remaining parts inventory and list a few Bijur items.straight-eight.com/product-category/bijur-chassis-lubricator/

Contact Bruce Blevins in MI, he has all the parts for Packard Bijur system. Classic & Exotic has RR parts.

Saw this on EBay,

Those might clean up, and if they are a good buy then they may work OK. Bruce has all new fittings so that is what I went with. The meters are $ 40 ea. tube nuts are $ 15 ea. but you need to proper compression rings to reinstall them and they are special to this system, and only Bruce has those are far as I know. They are one sided like the originals not two sided like you might buy at the hardware store. You will also need 3/16" annealed copper tubing. Compression unions are at most auto parts stores and sold as brake line unions. Make sure you get the brass ones not steel, I got mine from O'Reilly's. Bruce's catalog attached.
