Re[2]: curved dash

[Awentsbury@aol.com]

Sorry for the delay ,
My car also has the number 1311 on the front section of the crank case,  
perhaps this was a casting number, some one will know about that.
Does your engine have cooling fins , these started sometime in  03.
does  the chassis of the car have  a hole for the chain to go  though or does 
it have a U as on later frames, my mid 1903 has the  U.
The Schrebler Model R will fit all cars as you need to make a 90%  conector 
with a flange on each end , I made mine out of a gas or water pipe bend  .
I saw a Holly at  last year but it was $ 400.00 and i did  not think it was 
worth it at that price
Get your dad to come to hershey with us in October , we have about 3 spaces  
left.

Hi  Ian,

Thank  you so much  your answer, that is both very  helpful and very 
interesting.
Sorry to answer to you now only, I was  travelling lately.

The carb fixing bolts on the cylinder head are  horizontal : so now i
understand  that we have  the 04 model (so  far, i thought it was more likely 
a
1903, but thanks to you i see now it is  a 04 !).
There is a number on the engine : 1311.

as it is the 04, I  will look for a Holly carb (I understand the Schrebler 
Model R
you've got  is suitable only for the 03, isn't it?).
Do you know whether your pal is in  a position to remake that 04 carb
as he has the molds (it is so great to  have those molds!)?
If so would you have an idea about the price?

I  hope you a good and funny work reassembling the gear box.

Our car in  the South West of France, where we live (near Toulouse).

Thanks  again

All the best

Kindest  regards
Dominique
