This is what most of the Stude 6X6

trucks were used for after the war. That

is until someone in the fire brigade stated

that the Studes were only rated as 1 1/2

ton capacity! The fools didn't realize that

capacity rating was the military rating,

which equates to 1 1/2 ton, and climb a

wall as well. They retried all the Studes

from the Bush Fire Brigades and spent

millions buying new Japanese trucks? The

Studes were the back bone of the Bush

Fire Brigades for 30 years, all of a sud-

den they were not up to the job, I don’t

think so! From Scott Robertson in NSW

With lockdown and isolation being the current

'normal' I have been spending quite a lot of time in my

shop doing odd jobs on the '31 Studebaker. So far I

have pulled the manifolds off and installed new gaskets.

(actually I re-used the gasket but replaced a couple of

sections that were leaking quite badly). I have many

boxes of new old stock gaskets. I found some manifold

gaskets that were the right thickness and had the right

size opening. I cut off the required section, drilled the

holes for the mount studs and it works fine.

While I had the manifold off, I took the carb

apart and cleaned it up. Then I pulled the distributor and

replaced the shaft with one from my extra parts box.

With the distributor on the bench it was a good opportu-

nity to set up the points. It is a bit unusual in that it is

an eight cylinder engine but has only four lobes on the

shaft. It uses two sets of points which are set so that

they take turns opening and closing. If the gap isn't the

same on each set, the spark on every other cylinder will

be either too late or too early. Now the engine works

better than ever.

Next item. I bought a roll of sound deadener ma-

terial from a Corvette supply company. I decided to re-

move the door panels and install the sound deadener.

When the door was apart and cleaned, opened my roll of

material which was shipped with some other parts last

fall. Surprise !! When I unrolled the material what I

found was good old fashioned TAR PAPER. Hardly worth

paying shipping for what I could have picked up at a

building supply store. Anyway I glued a couple of layers

against the outer door panel and it does work quite well

to make the door sound better when it is being closed.

Several years ago I was advised by an old car col-

lector to put Irish Spring soap in my car to prevent

mouse damage. "They hate the smell of it" I was told. I

have always used it and apparently it works in some way

or other BUT...When I took my car out of the barn this

spring the cardboard that the soap was on was covered

in mouse droppings, and the soap was chewed away to

less than half of the original size. Interesting though

that there appears to be no mouse damage and no mouse

nests anywhere. Has anyone else had experience with

this stuff. Do they get sick from eating it and then stay

away?

Another thought ( isolating lets me think up

things). When washing my cars, I always use proper car

wash, however I would too often knock the bottle of

soap over and spill it on the driveway. One day I had an

inspiration. I took a spray bottle, filled it about half way

with car wash soap and then filled it with water. Now I

can squirt some soap on the car and the bottle falls over

nothing leaks out and I also find there is a lot less soap

wasted.

By the way, if any member needs gaskets what I

have you are welcome to take. Some of the are in labeled

packages, but a lot of them are loose and I don't know

what they were for. There are quite a few head gaskets

too, again unidentified. We could match them against an

old one.

Editor’s Exhaust

Tips from Susan Lusted

Susan is the gal who has the big job of keeping a

current list of what’s going on in our Studebaker world

in Turning Wheels. The “What’s Happening” column

must be a real chore to keep up. Especially in these

times when so many events have to be cancelled or have

a change of date. I recently received an email from

Susan with some basic tips on how to keep our

frustrating computers a little less irritating.

Susan “For March's submission (to What's

Happening), I had 28 typewritten pages in word. That is

amazing. It just reinforces to me just how active our

club is. A couple of points for you. I have had a few

bounces saying that the recipient's email box is full.

See some suggestions below. I did these on my

computer and I was amazed at how much junk that I

deleted.

Getting Organized & De-cluttering Your Computer

-Many of you may have trouble receiving emails. Clear

out your received emails. Then clear out your

deleted files. Years of emails can add up. If your

email is too full, you cannot receive emails and this

had happened to my friend. Make a file and save

attachments you want.

-Make up an email address for signing up for

newsletters etc and use it only for that. That way

your main email address does not get filled up with

useless clutter.

-Be sure that you have an up to date antivirus program.

In this time of cyber security, it’s a necessary thing

to have. Remember, if it’s free, you get what you

pay for.

-Empty your recycle bin, you empty the garbage at home

do it on your computer

-Remove files from your desktop/aka screen, too many

here can slow it down.

-Cut out email subscriptions that you no longer receive.

-Uninstall programs that you no longer use.

-Empty your download folder too! Every time you

download an attachment, windows stores it in a

folder called Downloads. For me, that amounts to a

ton of downloads that take up a lot of space.

Have a great day and if you have any questions, just let

me know.

(Susan is one more Canadian who is donating time and

effort to keep SDC and Turning Wheels running

smoothly—ed.)

Thanks to Brian Chappell for sending this smile.

THE STUDEBAKER BELLET WAS ALMOST THE FUTURE OF THE COMPANY

By Pat Foster from April 2020 issue of Hemmings Classic Car and suggested by Michael McChesney

I am curious what you think of the compact sedan pic-

tured here, and I'm especially interested if you are a long

time Studebaker enthusiast. Why? Because this was almost

the future of Studebaker cars worldwide. Presenting the al-

most 1966 Studebaker Bellet, designed by Isuzu— the car

that really might have saved the company.

By 1964, Studebaker car production for the U.S. and

Canada was centered in Hamilton, Ontario. In 1965, the presi-

dent of Studebaker Canada, Gordon Grundy, was searching

for an import car to supplement the Studebakers his dealers

were selling (and, possibly, an import that could be assembled

in Canada).

Studebaker Canada was already involved with importing

foreign cars via a deal with Volkswagen of Canada, which was

paying a hefty duty on cars brought in from Germany. With

the new Canada/U.S. Auto Pact agreement, Studebaker could

import any foreign car, duty-free. So, Grundy made a deal to

import 31,600 VWs at a duty free savings of $165 per car.

May / June 2020 (Vol. 24, No.3)

These were sold to VW Canada at $150 profit per car, pocket-

ing a net profit of $4.74 million—while VW saved $474,000. It

was strictly a paper transaction, and all perfectly legal.

Looking for other ways to generate profits, Grundy met

with Nissan in Japan to acquire the rights to sell Datsuns in

North America. Some of the Datsuns would be badged as

Studebakers, and eventually, even built in Canada. But, in the

middle of negotiation, management instructed Grundy to break

off talks with Nissan and pursue an arrangement with Toyota.

The result was that neither company wanted to do business

with Studebaker. The lawyer behind this unfortunate debacle?

Future U.S. president Richard Nixon.

Grundy next looked at the Prince, a Japanese auto they

could offer as low as $1,895. Also investigated was the DAF

line of cars; several were brought over from Europe for test-

ing. In the end, neither Prince nor DAF were considered viable

because they would not have appealed to enough Canadian driv-

ers. But the next car investigated, the Isuzu Bellet, certainly

would have.

The Bellet was larger than most of the imports Stude-

baker Canada had considered and was sturdy and well built.

The Isuzu had very pleasing styling, and its 1.5-liter four-

cylinder engine could easily handle North American highways.

Studebaker began to seriously consider the idea of importing

the Bellet, and later assembling them as well. The company

brought test cars to its Hamilton headquarters and were sur-

prised at their comfort and roominess. A handful of Bellets

were mocked up with Studebaker emblems and badges; mar-

keting men drove the badged imports to a few dealers to get

their reaction. The dealers were incredibly pleased with the

Bellet, and the plan to sell them in conjunction with Stude-

baker's carryover Lark based models. Studebaker looked

carefully at introducing the Bellet for 1966 and even made

plans to charter an ocean liner so they could take Stude-

baker's U.S. and Canadian dealers on a weekend jaunt to talk

about their exciting future.

However, Studebaker Canada was also involved in nego-

tiations to be acquired by importer and distributor Canadian

Motor Industries. CMI had distribution rights for Toyota, 60

dealers, and was interested in acquiring Studebaker's network

of about 1,000 dealers in the U.S. and Canada. It would make

CMI a big player in the auto industry. Negotiations led to a

proposed deal; CMI would purchase the assets of Stude-

baker's Automotive Division for about $1 million, including all

production equipment, the Hamilton factory and offices, and

the parts warehouse in South Bend, Indiana. The deal was

agreed upon - Studebaker's U.S. management was anxious to

get rid of its Auto Division—and signing was scheduled when,

unbelievably, one of CMI's principals got cold feet mere hours

before the deal was to be signed. He worried it was taking on

too much—he and his partners would need to raise a great deal

of capital to finance ongoing operations. He convinced CMI to

walk away.

Once the CMI deal fell through, the plans to introduce

the Bellet for 1966 were put on hold. Then, in March 1966,

Studebaker's management pulled the plug on the auto division.

And that was that.

During the later season of 1929 the Graham Paige

was bought new by Mr. Arthur Curtis of Milton, P.E.I.

Mr. Curtis used the car for more than thirty years. The

car then sat in the shed for a number of years before

being acquired by Dr. R. M. Mundle and moved into Char-

lottetown. Dr. Mundle dismantled the car and began res-

toration, rounded up some parts along with rims and

tires. Work slowed up and very little got done. Later, Dr

Mundle moved the car and parts to his summer home

where it was stored in a barn.

The 1929 Graham Paige as it arrived at Doug’s Garage

Long periods of time passed and the car sat and

deteriorated. Rodents got into the upholstery and inside

the engine, “in everywhere”. The body and sheet metal

rusted badly. The storage building became in disrepair.

The Graham Paige and its stable mate, a 1923 Model T

Ford became a little more than basket cases.

Restoration underway Setup to install the roof

During the later part of 2018 a deal between my-

self and Dr. Mundle was struck. To adopt the pair of cars

and retain the Graham Paige I had to prepare the Model

T Ford for sale.

During the winter of 2019, some lesser work was

started on the “Curtis” car. No final purchase agreement

could be reached until the Model T Ford was sold -that

being reached in the mid-summer of 2019.Then the prob-

lem was that there was no proof of ownership since the

good Doctor had no receipt or permit for the Curtis

car .There was no record of purchase or dates of its ac-

quisition since it had been in his possession for close to

fifty years plus no proof the car existed, so where do we

go from here?

Dash before restoration Body, dash & chassis restored

From time to time I was in conversation with Mr.

Orville Curtis who is a great nephew of the original

owner Arthur Curtis. Orville suggested he might help and

indeed, he did by coming up with a “registration” for the

car dated in 1939 and also a “driver’s license”

Armed with these items and Dr. Mundle in tow, we went

together to the Motor Vehicle Division. We had

enough paperwork to establish new ownership for the car

therefore the final agreement was signed. ”Alas” the

Curtis car was now in the name of A. Douglas Parkman.

Work on the car could now begin more rigorously. For

those who don’t know the routine, it is hard to imagine

what really takes place.

The process necessitates the complete dismantling

of the vehicle, right down to the last nut and bolt, chas-

sis, frame, suspension, springs, axles, brakes, gears, en-

gine parts including pistons and other parts to no end.

Next comes the cleaning and refurbishing every

moving part involving many thousands of parts. Strip all

body parts and sandblast away the rusted stuff to pre-

pare for body work and straightening up the bent parts

like fenders, etc. Then comes finding the correct colors

and schemes for painting. The broken and missing parts

have to be sourced as best you can and the rest must be

made up and machined to perfection. The shiny

parts have to be shipped away for re-plating.

Doug’s son Kenneth assisting in installing the Graham Paige

body on the chassis. Many hands make light work !

Then reassembly and yes the interior, the headlin-

ing cause much grief but with help it is manageable. Then

the roof covering and also finding the correct materials

for the upholstery and seats, the dash and gauges, the

windows, gaskets, weather seals, window winders, door

hinges, catches and locks; it just goes on.

Now for the test. Will it drive, steer, stop and

start? A rip out the long driveway and back, yes it will. A

sense of accomplishment looms over oneself when all has

not been in vain.

Also, one must not forget the guy who spends a lot

of time searching the internet for parts to make the car

complete and ships stuff from all over; even some came

from Australia; that’s my son Kenneth, who lives in On-

tario. He’s also an old car guy (how come that?!).

Restoration of the 1929 Graham Paige is complete

with a successful test drive !

Now prepare for a road trip and work on the grow-

ing pains. Oh yes, the total mileage on this car is 19,800

confirmed by the Curtis family. Simply put the original

Mr. Curtis did little travelling other than to the market

on a regular basis. Few people and most drivers of today

cannot comprehend that most roads of the era were not

paved and had long periods of non-automobile travelling,

especially in the winter and spring. So for auto travel; it

took place during the summer months; thus most cars

during those times only had low mileage before being put

away for the rest of the year. Also; the sand from the

dusty roads that the engines ingested was the demise of

many an engine.

That’s it for now! Thanks ,Doug.

Studebaker touring cars picking their way along the Rubicon Trail

sometime in the 1920s. Photo via the Studebaker Drivers’ Forum.

In our recent (highly tongue-in-cheek) discussion

about suitable vehicles for a post-apocalyptic environ-

ment, I proposed embracing 1920s technology since it

could largely be repaired with blacksmith-grade tools

and run on some pretty lousy fuels. For illustration, I

grabbed a photo of Studebaker touring cars on the Rubi-

con Trail in the 1920s. I think I posted it on my Face-

book page at one point with the flippant caption “Let’s

see your Overland do that!”

To be honest, I have known of these photos for

many years without investigating them too deeply. They

had come to me with some vague information like “in the

'20s, the Rubicon Trail served a couple hotels in the area

and was better maintained.” That was good enough for

me for a long time—I just figured they were basically

serving as depot hacks.

Then reader Dal Smilie wrote to Dan Strohl asking

about the Studes. “I can find no mention of this on the

web,” he wrote. “Got any info?”

Well, Dal, I’m glad you asked! Because now I wanted to

know, too. First, I decided I needed to know some more

about the Rubicon itself. Aside from seeing it embla-

zoned on Jeep hoods and my vague awareness that it was

a famous off-roading trail somewhere, I didn’t really

know much about it at all.

Turns out, the Rubicon is in California’s Gold Coun-

try, in the aptly named Placer County. The county seat is

called Auburn. And…ah hah! Some of the photos of the

Studebakers show that they are lettered for the Au-

burn Chamber of Commerce.

Placer County straddles the Sierra Nevada moun-

tain range; Auburn is in the Sierra Nevada foothills

above the Sacramento Valley but the easternmost

reaches of the county touch Lake Tahoe. It happens that

the Rubicon Trail forms the most direct route from Au-

burn to the lake. It was originally a Native American

footpath, but by 1887 it was a wagon road (partially fi-

nanced by Placer County) serving the Rubicon Soda

Springs from Georgetown, California, and connecting on

to Lake Tahoe. There was regular stagecoach service

over the route and, in 1888, construction began on the

Rubicon Mineral Springs Hotel and Resort.

"Studebakers Break In/When Others Break Down" This may be in

the area known as "The Little Sluice" or perhaps in the vicinity of

Spider Lake. Photo courtesy the SDF.

The resort remained in operation through 1926

and, according to the website of neighboring El Dorado

County, the Rubicon Trail was “promoted as the best

route from Georgetown to Lake Tahoe.” Interestingly,

the county also says that the first automobile to visit

Rubicon Springs did so in 1908, with a woman from Lake

Tahoe at the wheel. According to the Placerville Moun-

tain Democrat, which happens to be California’s oldest

continually operating newspaper, that car was a Mitchell

touring.

El Dorado County further explains where all those

photographs of Studebakers came from: “To encourage

travel along the route, a promotional automobile trip was

organized, compete with photographs in the local papers.

Were there really Studebaker touring cars on the Rubicon Trail in the 1920s? By David Conwill on Mar 27th in Hemmings Motor News

May / June 2020 (Vol. 24, No.3)

The write-up included mention of a survey party that

would make plans for improving the road.” What I believe

we’re seeing are the promotional photos, intended to

show the ease with which motorists could make use of

the road.

The Mountain Democrat indicates the photos were

taken in 1926, not 1921, and that the cars shown are

1923 Studebaker Special Sixes. The Special Six split

the difference between Studebaker’s Light Six and Big

Six. The Special Six also had a tombstone-shaped radia-

tor shell (Buick, too, was then aping that Packard styling

trait).

Our Studebakers working their way up to the Rubicon Mineral

Springs Hotel and Resort, now the epicenter of the annual Jeepers

Jamboree. Photo via the Placerville Mountain Democrat.

The simpler radiator on the lead car seems to be

that of the Light Six—which makes some sense, as the

shorter, lighter chassis would seem better suited to the

primitive conditions. The last year for the Light Six was

1923, after which it was replaced with the Standard Six.

We previously featured a 1923 Studebaker Light Six and

the cowl lamps integrated into the windshield assembly

appear to be a later design trait—so maybe the car in

the photo is a 1921 after all. The car in the back could

be a Special Six, but more likely of 1920 vintage.

I’m not sure whether or not those improvements

were ever made, but nature has largely un-done them

since the hotel’s last year in operation. The decaying

conditions have made the old road into a favored desti-

nation for off-road drivers since at least 1953, when the

first Jeepers Jamboree was held. The old hotel property

is still in use, with Rubicon Soda Springs, Inc., operating

it and the trail and even featuring a few more old Stude-

baker photos on its website.

Having spent an entire career using tools for re-

pair of automobiles and related objects requiring ser-

vice, I thought, gee, I’ve still got a great number of the

tools I purchased at the beginning of this ride.

In the beginning the tools were basic wrenches,

screwdrivers, pliers and hammers. As time progressed

advanced tool designs became available. Purchases were

made at hardware stores. No other sources were out

there. As an apprentice technician in dealerships, I had

access to unique and special tools that were designed for

that specific chore, but they were not part of my tool-

box.

As my career pro-

gressed, my tool acqui-

sitions required a larger

tool box. This required

a toolbox with three

drawers and a remov-

able top tray. Still have

that one to this day!

During the late 1970’s,

early 1980’s the transi-

tion to metric required

another set of tools. In Canada, we were given a govern-

ment grant to help pay for the metric tools we needed.

That also required another tool box upgrade. This time it

was a 5 drawer roller with matching top box. Plenty of

room for everything! NOT!

By now the tool trucks were roaming the territory,

stopping in every week with the latest and greatest

tools. They always had a special and a catalog filled with

all the tools you would ever need and a box big enough to

hold them. Being a tool nut, I went for the latest quite

often but not the big boxes that required mega rollers

and a license plate when they were transported! You

could practically live in some of those monsters! But, my

money went into the tools. That required separate roller

tool trays with drawers for the special tools. They were

cheaper but filled up all too quickly, it was handy to be

able to roll them close to the job at hand.

My foray into self-employment required a visit to

the bank down the street to apply for a loan for shop

equipment. I had found the ideal location but needed the

heavy shop tools to be able to complete my repairs. I put

together a five year plan and began the purchases of

welding equipment, cleaning equipment, additional hand

tools and a complete parts department as well. Shelving

and office supplies were purchased along with a big cof-

fee machine to keep me motivated during those long days

and nights. There was always another tool that was miss-

ing when something unusual came in the door.

My focus was Studebaker restorations, but during

slow times I did work on anything from wheelbarrows to

semis. With seven bays there was room for everything.

I had to make tools to fit a certain situation where the

standard stuff wasn’t going to do. I drove a 1948 Dodge

with three speed floor shifter, seems like I would regu-

larly miss a quick shift and have to replace the transmis-

sion. They were $5.00 each at the wrecking yard in

those days, cheaper than a rebuild! I made a pair of

9/16” wrenches to reach the top shift fork. I made the

wrench to fit the 1939 Chevy front shock top bolt that

was huge!

Several wrenches in my box have strange shapes

that were bent to fit a certain bolt, several screwdriv-

ers have an end bent for some pry job or other than

proper use. I have made several sets of pullers and push-

ers for Studebaker applications that are designed after

the originals. All these tools make the job go easier and

faster.

Now that I have retired, my Studebaker hobby

has precluded working on modern iron. I have separated

the metric from the standard and kept the tool pur-

chases to a minimum. I think I have everything I need,

that is until I find another tool I can’t live without!

In the end it was only the fiber cam gear that gave

up the ghost. It was obvious with head off she wasn't

firing her Best on 4th n 5th cyls, very rich and two

fouled spark plugs.

She was rebuilt not that long ago, I could easily

see honing swirls and, ridge reaming work along with evi-

dence of recent valve grinding and seat work in the

block. They all cleaned up very well!

I am going to revisit reinstallation procedures for

the oil pump after disassembling, cleaning and reassem-

bly. Reading the manual I see the importance of proper

engagement to the cam gear, so now's the perfect op-

portunity to make sure it's correct while the oil pan is

off.”

Scotts new dash

In 1951 Studebaker exported new models to Aus-

tralia with 1950 style dashes as above (this is the right

hand drive version). Scott Robertson in Charlton near

Sydney (and also near the infamous Botany Bay where

ne’er-do-wells were transported to from England in the

1700 and 1800s) decided that he wanted to have the

regular ‘51 dash.

He purchased the necessary NOS dash compo-

nents when he visited a recent SDC International meet

and then proceeded to make the modifications to his own

dash.

Here you can see where he cut out the original dash and

welded in a patch to accept the new ‘51 gauges.

The finished job with a new shiny coat of silver

paint. Great job!

Graham’s Restoration Saga - cont’d

My PB booster which I removed from a ‘66 Com-

mander in Gary Payne’s former salvage yard, was in sad

shape. All over rusted and pitted, M/C actuating rod

rusted off and one of the M/C mounting bolt came loose.

Better to just by a new one - not! ‘64-’66 boosters of

this type are just not available anywhere. Rebuilt units

are available, but they need your core to work on. So I

sent photos to a rebuilder, but it was not usable they

said. As luck would have it I mentioned this to Dave

Thibeault and after I sent him the photos, he felt his

rebuilder could do the job.

The new booster - bubbles on the edge is the brazing

A little while later and a few $$$ more than a

straight-forward rebuild, I had a booster for the pro-

ject. Besides welding on a M/C actuating rod and mount-

ing bolt there were a number of pin holes that needed to

be brazed in as well.

I am still waiting for my re-built torque converter

so the JT project is on hold. In the meantime I had a

brake issue with the ‘54. I had put on new 11” brakes

with new wheel cylinders and turned drums which worked

fine for some time. Lately the brakes began to grab

with the right wheel locking up.

When I removed the drums I found that one of

the self adjuster actuating rods had come off on the

left side and there was a serious leak on the right side

that was coating the brake linings. I pulled the lower

dust caps of each wheel cylinder and they were both

leaking - worse on the right side. These were brand new

wheel cylinders so what is the problem? Fortunately I

had two new wheel cylinder kits on hand—made in the

USA. Here’s what I found.

The cups had much less of a flange which I assume

is good for stopping leakage while the cylinder is at rest,

the spring wire diameter was smaller so giving less of a

push and the dust covers were flimsy compared to the

US product.

After reassembly and test-

ing all seems OK. However, I

will pull the drums in the fall

to make sure all is till OK.

With 11’ brakes the Cham-

pion can really stop quickly.

Studebaker Car Care and Tech Tips

Ol RED's Gar-udge.

When I was a yun'n I hung out at OL RED's. Word

wuz if'n yu had troubles OL RED could fix it, best advice

wus on yur car, cuz OL RED's marrital views were out

dated!

But if'n your alinegment wuz in question RED had

this to offer. The next time yu wuz at Wallla- Mart, you

park real careful like next to them white lines and have

yu a look along the edge of yur ty'rs, not real act-rit but

quick?

Red's Buddy Jimmy one gun used his hunt'n rifel

fur this and usually git's a flat tie'r do'n it. But RED

said the best way for a home check wuz a string. He pre

fir'd Butcher string. You craw'z under the front bumper

an ti'z the string to the front spring, what holds the car

up, not when the snow melts. Draw that string round the

mid point of the front tie'r and crawl along on yur knez

to the back of yur car, watch out for Ol Rusty, he don't

give you a sniff.

One time Ol Rusty sniff'e Ol RED under the kitc'n

sink, I laughed so hard near fell off the kitc'n chair!

There wuz all ways time at RED's fur sipp'n n

smok'n. Any way now yur at the back tie'r reach under

tha'r n tie the sting to sum'n under thar. RED says keep

yur string tite !

Now ya gotta hitch the string up or down to clean

any hag'n rusty parts so the string has a clear run front

ta back, If'n there's a gap at the back edge of yur front

tie'r , you got some toe- out. If'n there's a bump at the

back edge of the front tire you got's toe-in. Now the

back ti'r better fit the string on both edges of the tie'r

or yur rear-n is crooked - dog track'n,

Check with OL Rusty for a demo on that.

Remember Ol RED says Keep Yur String Tite !

Paint Buffing

I recently found a really good buffing compound:

Meguiar's 105 Ultra-cut compound. Here is a link -

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Meguiar-M105-Mirror-

Glaze-Ultra-Cut-Compound-8-oz/48343285?

Perhaps some people in the club have used it

before but others may find this info useful. I had some

issues lately with the finish on my '96 Olds 88, there

were scratches from a car wash, and a bit of haze, etc. I

wasted a lot of time on the hood, but finally had it wet-

sanded with 1500 grit wet/dry. I looked online for

something to finish it and came across some info on

Meguiar 105 Ultra-cut compound. The info said it would

take out 1200 grit scratches or finer. I got a bottle and

went to work. Just a few passes and it gave a brilliant

shine on the 1500 wet/dry finish. I just used my 3/8

inch drill with a foam buffing pad. I couldn't believe how

fast it worked and how good the shine was - and no swirl

marks either. So I guess you can count me a fan of

Meguiar products Happy Motoring Dave Burris

listed on the Walmart

Canada website at $39.20

Lubrication of the Windshield Wiper Posts by Pete

Yuen

The newest of Studebakers are now 54 years old.

There is a good chance that even the 1966 Studebakers

that our SDC Members own, has not ever had the

windshield wiper posts lubricated. This goes for the ’63-

’64 Avanti’s as well.

In the 1959 to 1962 Studebaker shop manual,

there is no mention of lubricating the wiper posts but

lubrication of the wiper posts would certainly be in order

now. If the wiper works with a jerky sweep, the posts

need oiling. Even if the wipers work smoothly, they still

should be oiled.

After removing the windshield wiper arms, you

look at the posts and think, “How am I going to oil posts

when the wiper arm adapter on the post is in the way of

oil getting to the shaft and bearing? The oil would have

to travel up under the adapter and then up on to the

May / June 2020 (Vol. 24, No.3)

17


shaft. An oil can won’t work and neither would a spray

lubricant. . . But there is a way.

The left picture is the typical wiper post and right

picture is the wiper post with a short piece of hose that

slips over the post and long enough that when oil is put

into the hose, the oil is going to cover the top of the

wiper arm adapter.

A light, non- detergent oil is used in case the

bearing material used is porous bronze. Apparently, the

detergent oils plug up the pores on the porous bronze

bearing material so in time, the bearing will not function

the way that it should. Modern engine oils have

detergent so they should not be used. Lubricating

Procedure after removing the wiper blades and arms:

1. Get the oil and sufficient amount of rags to soak

up 1 or 2 soup spoons of oil. Use the rags to build a dam

around the wiper post.

2. Start windshield wiper.

3. Hold tube down with one hand so oil will not leak

out.

4. Pour enough oil into the tube to cover the wiper

arm adaptor.

5. Keep wiper operating for approx. 30 seconds.

6. Remove tube and wipe up the oil. Repeat

procedure for oiling the other wiper post.

Oily rags must be disposed of in a manner that

spontaneous combustion will not occur. Don’t keep them

lying around as they are a fire hazard.

Thanks again to Pete Yuen in the Canadian Avanti

for this tip.

Tech Tip on thermostats

There are certain parts used on Studebakers that

are fairly universal and thus commonly available.

Thermostats –for example.

Thermostats come in different outside diameters,

temperature ranges, and quality levels. The types used

on Studebakers are used on many other cars of that era.

In fact, the thermostat housing gasket used on ‘61-’64

V-8 and 6 cylinder engines is the same one used on

Chevrolet V-8 engines of that era. (Originally Fel-Pro

had a distinct part number for these Studebaker 2-bolt

housing applications, but much later designated the

“Chevrolet” gasket as the one to use.

So changing your thermostat shouldn’t require too

much advanced planning.

V8 truck 4 bolt housing

You will need to have the correct gasket in hand if

you are changing a ‘51-’60 V8 four bolt thermostat

housing. The ‘39-’60 Champion engines and the

Commander 6 engines also had specific thermostat

housing gaskets.

‘39-’60 Gaskets, spacer & thermostat

There is one unusual item in the Studebaker thermostat

housing world and that is on the ‘39-’60 Champion 6

engines. Only these engines had a metal spacer (sleeve)

installed above the thermostat. Additionally, there is a

separate gasket between the spacer and the housing.

After all these years the spacer may be corroded,

so one should have the spacer and the 2 required

gaskets before changing a thermostat on a ‘39-’60

Champion 6-cylinder engine.

Clunks Rattles and Squeaks

The 12 Commandments of Growing Old...

#1 - Talk to yourself, because there are times you need

expert advice.

#2 - Consider "In Style" to be the clothes that still fit.

#3 - You don't need anger management. You need people

to stop pissing you off.

#4 - Your people skills are just fine. It's your tolerance

for idiots that needs work.

#5 - The biggest lie you tell yourself is, "I don't need to

write that down. I'll remember it."

#6 - These days, "on time" is when you get there.

#7 - Even duct tape can't fix stupid - but it sure does

muffle the sound.

#8 - Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could put ourselves

in the dryer for ten minutes, then come out wrinkle free

and three sizes smaller?

#9 - Lately, you've noticed people your age are so much

older than you.

#10 - You thought growing old would take longer.

#11 - Aging sure has slowed you down, but it hasn't shut

you up.

#12 - You still haven't learned to act your age, and hope

you never will.

And one more: you know you are growing old when "one

for the road" means taking a pee before you

leave the house.

Good things to Know

Good Vision in a Downpour - how to achieve good

vision in a downpour.

Most motorists turn on HIGH or Fastest Speed of

the wipers during a heavy downpour, yet the visibility in

front of the windshield is still bad. In such a situation—

just try your sunglasses. Your visibility will be clear as if

there is no rain. Amazingly, you still see the drops on the

windshield, but not the sheet of rain falling. You can see

the rain bouncing off the road. It works to eliminate the

”blindness” from passing cars and semis as well as the

“kickup” if you are following vehicles.

Cruise Control - a resident of Kilgore, Texas was

driving on a rainy day when her car suddenly began to

hydroplane and literally flew through the air. When she

explained it to the police officer, he told her something

every driver should know. “Never drive in the rain with

your Cruise Control on.”

She thought she was being cautious by setting the

cruise control and maintain a safe, consistent speed in

the rain. The police officer told her that if the cruise

control is on when your car begins to hydroplane and your

tires lose contact with the pavement; your car will accel-

erate to a higher rate of speed. Never use cruise control

when the pavement is wet or icy. All new drivers should

be informed of this.

NOTE: Some vehicles such as the Toyota Sienna

Limited XLE will not allow you to set the cruise control

when the windshield wipers are on.

ODDS ‘N’ ENDS

As the world is forever changing, we are often

faced with having to adapt to the changes. One has to

accept that the past cannot be changed, the present is

what it is and the future is yet to be determined.

Proverbs: Some are as old as dirt, some provoke thought

and some needs updating or abandoned, such as, “A

picture is worth a thousand words.” One of the rebuttals

to this proverb is “Okay, draw me a picture of the

Gettysburg Address.”

Some revisions could be made to existing proverbs:

• Familiarity breeds.

• Many hands want light work.

• Counting your chickens before they are hatched is

long range planning.

FIRE EXTINGUISHERS

There are recommendations that each house, ga-

rage or workshop and cars be equipped with a fire

extinguisher. Many people will have a fire extinguisher

in their homes and some will have it in their cars but

they should not overlook in having one in the garage/

workshop too.

Most of the fire extinguishers will have “A B C”

ratings that are used in our homes. These fire extin-

guishers are effective for extinguishing fires in paper,

liquids and electrical. The most popular domestic fire

extinguishers are the dry powder type, effective but

leaves a flour-like or baking soda-like residue. There are

CO2 and Halon in some fire extinguishers which does not

leave a residue but they cost more than the dry powder

type. At one time, I believe that the Halon fire extin-

guishers were banned due to belief that the halon

when directed at a fire would cause a toxic gas. This may

not be so as presently they are an available item on

the internet.

The CO2 and Halon units could likely be stored

vertically or horizontally, but the dry powder type, I be-

lieve should be stowed in the upright position. As time

goes by, it may be a good idea to invert the dry powder

unit and strike it a few times with a plastic hammer,

wooden mallet or with the wooden handle of a hammer

to loosen the powder. Vibration and time causes the

powder to pack so any dry powder as used in a car or

especially on a forklift truck will potentially have this

problem. If the powder is packed in the fire extin-

guisher, only little of the powder is expelled along with

the propellant when it is used. It is the powder that

extinguishes the fire so you do not want to hear just a

“WHOOSH” without much powder.

The down side of using a dry powder fire extin-

guisher in a car is that it is messy and some even say

that the powder causes corrosion on the wiring connec-

tions over a period of time.

Ontario Chapter

1983 Avanti: Yes, a 1983 Avanti manufactured by The Avanti

Corp in South Bend Indiana. This model was continued in 1965

through 1983 in the same 1964 configuration albeit with GM

drive train (engine and transmissions for emissions) by

Newman/Altman (1965-1982) and Stephen Blake (1983-1985).

Numerous luxury options were added over the years and this

1983 has most of them including sun roof, A/C, and power

windows. This one has been modified by replacing the anemic

305cid/5.0L with a new ZZ-383cid crate engine now producing

396hp/480ftlb torque. The 700R4 has been rebuilt and

strengthened, new universals, rear axle has new seals/bearings

and 3.31 gears. Before engine was replaced the alternator, A/C

compressor and PS pump were also rebuilt. New radiator and all

hoses including brake and fuel. New dual 2.25” SS exhaust with

new high flow cats installed. New paint job in three part base/

pearl/clear in Redline 3 red (Dodge Challenger colour). Needs

some interior and carpet TLC. Comes with a new Retro Sound

AM/FM stereo with Bluetooth/MP3/USB/Ipod inputs and

power antenna (not installed yet). The steering has been

converted to a power rack and pinion (new 1987 Cavalier Z24

and hoses). I have not played with much in the past five years

and feel it is time for someone else to finish/enjoy. Very

serious parties only, no test pilots, I can take extra pictures

and post if requested. Contact Mike 519.802.7495
