A new member of the New Zealand HET Club is looking for a source for a new gearbox mounting rubber for his 48 Hudson Super Six. Where can I recommend he tries?

Thanks

Uncle Josh

I was looking at Steele Rubber products stuff I believe and saw where they will put new rubber on your old steel.

KGap carried them but you might check with them before you order. I'm still waiting with no word...several months now.

Maybe Bill and Charlie's on eBay

Steering boxes are not mounted in rubber, they bolt directly to the frame. More info is needed on this item?? Walt.

Hi Walt
He's looking for a new gearbox mounting rubber for a 48 Hudson. Do you know a source?
Thanks

He described it to me as about 4" rubber square with steel bonded top & bottom (various mounting holes) & seriously needing replacing.

Dave, these Americans cannot distinguish between a "gearbox" as we colonials call it, and a steering box. What we call a gearbox is a transmission to them. I can get a suitable alternative here for around $100. It is a generic type which can be modified to suit. I used one on Trevor's '37 T coupe.

Thanks Geoff.
I'll give Andrew Peterson in Papamoa your details then & you 2 can talk without me in the middle
