Air Cleaner Paper Tube hangers

No body has the original paper air tubes and hangers left on their cars???????

Steve

I do! I will take a pic next week after I find them. they are in Crate 9, Box #12, baggie D5.

I see you have some assembly work to do—including paint—ready to be applied! I am impressed that your car seems to include the ultra-rare two-wheeled support vehicle!

Mark

That is one of 9 truckloads. The paint is the "extra" that came with the car.

The bike is there because I hauled one of my loads after a bike ride.

In this particular load you can see radiator, 4 ac condensers, ac unit, all the brake lines wrapped up with a nylon tie, stock mufflers, aftermarket headers, stock headers, spare tire, coolant tubes and on the far right the swaybars still wrapped in plastic from the powder coater.

Hello All here are the paper tube hangers on 1126 usa model. Jerry

hangetrs again

hangers are 1/2 in. wide 1/16 thick

Jerry,

Thanks for the shots!!!!

I checked my rear section last nite for "mystery holes" and found four that appear to be the original locations for the tubing supports!!! However, they did not appear to be large 6mm type, but more like sheet metal screws were used on #878. A production deviation perhaps...

OK, I rechecked my checking and found "sheet metal screw" sized holes on the LH side of my car (viewed from rear) and 6mm type bolt holes on the RH side of my car! THAT is what I would call a production deviation...... Of course I have none of the original fastners....or hangers......

I must say, the bracing on this car, for the AC unit and the alternator are like none I've seen yet! Also, it looks like the welding around the L & R trans support is rather interesting!

I also noted the triangular bracing in the rear corner of the frame in that last shot! I do not recall seeing that on #878, so may have been a "new" thing somewhere along the line!

The threaded bit on the spare tire mount is also an "outie" where mine is an "innie"....

Thanks again!
Another question or three....
Do these appear to be made of thin steel or aluminum!?

They look to be about 17-18mm wide?

Steve

Steve Hangers are made of thin steel between 1/16 in. and 1/32 in. thick. Will precisely measure the width tomorrow. and describe the attachment hardware.Incidentally the previous owner paid 600$+ to rebuild the Autolite carb and it looks great,just doesn't work above idle,causing the car to surge repeatedly between 2000 and 3000 rpm.Must be dumping gas in. Replaced it with a conventional Holley and now the car starts immediately and runs like a bat out of hell smoothly through the full rpm range!Any experiance out there on the drivability of the Autolite?

Jerry,

The Autolites are typically as you described the Holley!!! Bolt 'em on and drive!!!

If you have the receipt, I'd send it back to the rebuilder......if you have that option.
Otherwise, yes, sounds like excess gas for some reason....
