The gearbox is o.k. so thats no problem.
The corks in clutchplate looks also o.k.
Under the car is now a dry clutch but as said by many others that is indeed not a real success.
I go back to the original clutch.
The question is now : the surfase from special the flywheel looks very glacy.
I asked friends. Some of them say take sandpaper from grade 60 and just do it.
Others say no : use polishing paper at least 600 grade.
With a ruler I found out the surfase is very flat.
Someone experience and advise?
Thank you very much! ]]> http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/162964/03937-terraplane-starting-and-running-issue Tue, 23 Apr 2013 02:38:40 +0000 Hudsonrules 162964@/forum/discussions http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/162895/rr-trip-to-wildrick-restorations Thu, 18 Apr 2013 17:25:37 +0000 kamzack 162895@/forum/discussions Needing a break from my daily routine, on April 12 I up came with an excuse/reason to go to Dr Dougs place. It's always a very positive and encouragement to be around him and his staff. Got to see all of the current projects underway and recent purchases. A 49 Broughm, 47 pickup, 50 Pacemaker(43k mile original) and a 46 business coupe, all in very good condition. 2 were trailered and 2 were driven 450 miles from Missouri.
I got to meet Matt Royer(roster fame) and Denny Chilton and visit with Ralph and Cadilac Gene. One of the highlights was seeing the rubber parts Doug has taken on. Denny and Matt were busy catagorizing and photographing every piece. There are tubs and tubs of rubber parts availible and I don't think it's been promoted enough. Doug showed me some of the weatherstrip installed and is excellent quality.
I got to see and hear the Big 47 Commodore 8 that was on Ebay recently and it is beautiful. It's one of those 8's that cannot be heard when running(I'm jealous). It's sitting in a recent addition to Doug's shop along with Terri's perfect 51 Commodore and others.
As busy as Doug is, he spent about 2 hours with me showing me around and answering questions. He's always fun to be around and his excitement about his Hudson career never changes. He also confesses to being blessed to do what he loves doing for a living and I was blessed to spend time with him.
Thanks, Doug,

Have a couple of things under the bonnet that I am not sure what they are/were for. I have attached pictures. I am wondering about the vertical black hose which is attached to the rear firewall. This hose is not currently attached to anything at the bottom of the hose. At the top it's attached to a fitting that seems to go under the dash.
Send item is the black hose (which isn't really a hose just a black rubber sleeve housing a metal rod) laying on the engine block (picture 2). I THINK this hooks into the hole in the tower above which it currently sits, and ti think this whole mechanism is connected to the Weathermaster system and is connected to the lever that you can slide from "cool" to "hot". If that's the case, not sure how it hooks into the tower.
BTW, can anyone point me to a diagram (a la Chiltons or Haynes Manuals) of the engine compartment of a 46 Hudson 8? Since I've had so many things on mine either removed, disconnected, alternately connected, or otherwise "rejiggered" a diagram of how things are supposed to be, with labels of what things are, would be most helpful.

Thanks

If you are making repro parts for Hudsons and are not yet listed there, please advise me. I will be happy to list you or your company, whether you make one or 100 different parts.

If you have an on-line catalog I will gladly list a link to it. If you make only one or a handful of parts, I will gladly list each one under its appropriate category on my webpages, and a photo as well, if you'll send it.

I do not list people of companies selling used Hudson parts or parts that require that a "core" or pattern be submitted in order to receive the desired part. The companies or individuals I list, have the sufficient resources or patterns to manufacture the needed part without any input from the purchaser. Also, I don't list those who have a stock of original parts that will no longer be available when depleted. These are people who stock (or will produce on demand) the part you need, without limit.

You can reach me at XTerraplane@verizon.net -- drop the "X" before sending.

Begins at: The Hagley Museum, Wilmington, Delaware
Date: Saturday & Sunday, April 13-14, 2013

Welcome Spring with a two-day Hudson excursion to museums, historic buildings and private car collections in Delaware! We start on Saturday morning at the Hagley Museum near Wilmington and end up in Smyrna, Delaware the following day. You can choose one or both days. There’s plenty of “car stuff” to see, but also much to appeal to the non- car enthusiasts in your family! Drive your Hudson or a Brand-X. Total driving distance for both days is roughly 100 miles. Rain or Shine! Any Hudson enthusiast is welcome to join us!

For further information please contact Jon Battle, (540) 364-1770, or email XXXdetailed@verizon.net (remove the XXX).

On the other hand, would it be easier to remove the entire dashboard? Any procedures for that? I’ll have to remove the dashboard anyway to re-do the vinyl top and new paint.

As always, thanks for all your help.
