parts

Davo

Hi all , I'm new here so if I have placed this in the wrong place then please let me know ,, I have recently purchased a Terraplane, I was told it is a 1936 model ,maybe, but it also came with a lot of part that I don't want or need, there is virtually a complete engine, disassembled, starter motor, cylinder heads and various front end components that I won't be using, so if you know of anyone that can use these parts please let me know, they can have them for free or swap me a bonnet emblem would be nice, but either way they are there for the taking. I am in Nowra NSW Australia cheers Davo.

G'day Davo, do you have any photos so we can identify what model you have, I am in Sydney,
did you get the car from Nowra.??

Jon B

There is a Hudson club in Austalia, you might want to contact them http://www.hudson-amc.org.au/

Huddy42

Have left him a message Jon,thank you.

Davo

thanks guys, I will be spreading everything out next weekend and taking photos,, some of the front of the car as well so you guys who know what you are taking about can identify it , I certainly can't , the car came from a paddock in country Victoria, in pieces , I left that bit out , sorry, I just thought I would see if anyone was interested in any of it , I don't want it to go to waste if someone can use it , thank you all again and I will post the photos next weekend,,I know it's Christmas ,but restoration waits for no man. cheers

A serial number would verify the model year of the car.  In the late thirties this number was stamped into a small plate on the right side (that's the "passenger side" here in the States!) front door pillar (just below the windshield).   A mating number would have been stamped into the top of the rear axle housing (again, on your right side, as you sit in the car) and into the frame (again on the right, and up near where the front axle passes beneath the frame).

Davo

thanks Jon i'll check for that also, you guys have been very helpful. cheers

Jon B

PS -- if the front door hinges from the BACK it's a 1936 or earlier.  If hinge is at FRONT, it's a 1937 or later.

Davo

Definitely hinges from the back and i couldn't see any numbers in the places you suggested but ill check the diff housing on the weekend. Cheers 

Jon B

This is what a 1936 Terraplane (sedan) looks like.  The 1937 looks similar (but actually no body parts are interchangeable).  The 1936 front doors open from the front; the 1937 doors open from the rear (as most cars do nowadays).

Thanks Jon , that is exactly like mine, I would love to get hold of that bonnet emblem, thanks for your help.

Davo

Hi guys, here are the pictures of the parts that I have , there is also a radiator not pictured, also the fuel tank can go as well, the diff housing is included also, but the springs and the stabiliser bar are not. There are also a couple of pictures of my car, such as it is, and the front to help with identification. Please bear in mind that these parts are as I got them, so I don't know of their workable condition, hence the reason they are free. If you have something to trade that would be good also but it doesn't matter either way I just want it all gone asap. I have some plastic tubs and bins to put all the bits into, they also go with it, if you believe that it is all not really any good please let me know and I will just take it all to the scrap yard but I just thought that it may of been of use to somebody. If you need to ask any questions you can call me on 0423098775, cheers Dave.

Davo, would be interested in the diff centre,can you tell me if it is 6 studs or 8 studs on the crown wheel.? also timing  gear and  crank gear. I am in Sydney.

Davo

Huddy 42. I just checked it and it's a 6 bolt centre, no worries take what you like , just let me know when.

Huddy42

Davo, can I get a contact number for you as I got a guy who is interested in ALL the parts as he has a 1937 Terraplane,would be a shame if scrapped.

Davo

no worries mate.. 0423098775,, I wouldn't like to see it scrapped either,, if he can use it it's his just call me Cheers

Huddy42

Thanks Davo,Wayne should call you early next week,his mobile is 0478805918.

Davo

ok,, do you still want the parts you mentioned or do you want me to give it all to him.?

Davo - Do you know how much it might cost to ship your front motor mount plate to the US? I need a plate for my '37. My US zip is 28117. Thanks in advance

Davo

Scott happy to look into it for you , however, what does the motor mount plate look like ? sorry these parts are all foreign to me.

Huddy42

G'day Davo, give it all to him, but, tell him what I was after.
he will know.

Davo

ok mate, no worries, as you can see there is a guy in the states that is chasing the motor mount plate , so when I find out what that is it will be going to him, I assume this won't bother you at all. cheers.

50ClubCoupe

Davo - below is the pic which included the mount plate.  I appreciate the help!

Davo

ok mate I'll look into it for you as soon as the post opens again. cheers

Davo

Hi Scott , sorry it took so long but I have been away,, anyhow,, the post office says it will cost around $70.00 AU to post and will take around 5 days. Hope this was helpful. Cheers Dave.

Huddy42

No problem here Davo.

Davo

Huddy42, I still haven't heard from Wayne, was he going to call me or the other way around, either way ,, no rush, cheers.

1936 Hudsons were the only ones with the oval speedo in the centre of the dash. Makes it quick and easy to identify this year. I see the motor is a 1936 also. Note the round exhaust ports. Car will look good when finished. I suggest you talk to as many 36 owners as possible to save your time and money in your restoration. Regards

Davo, I have had cheaper and good shipping service with www.interparcel.com.au/. Regards Barry

Davo

Thanks Barry, I'll look into it for him. 

Davo

Yes Scott, PayPal is fine.
