    We are looking at getting new rear end gears made for 1929 Hudson 53/13 ratio. The standard gears are 53/12, so the higher ratio makes the cars much more drivable. Anyone interested please let me know. No obligation of course at this stage until we get prices established. Also getting a mold made for 1929 Hudson side-light brackets. These are notorious for breaking, as are die cast, so new brackets will be bronze. for Hudson only - Essex items are different. Around $300 per pair. Expressions of interest please on both items.

    There is no interchange to any other Hudson or Essex years?

    Unfortunately no, these are one-off 1929 Hudson items.
