Re: [HSS] New to Community; Garnish Moldings & Oil Press Gauge

Unknown

Welcome James. The problem with the oil gauge could just be a cracked pipe

at the union. Take it off and check the swaging of the pipe, and the

condition of the fitting on the back of the gauge. If the gauge is

punctured, it has probably been "expanded" sometime due to maladjustment of

the delivery spring, or a blockage, which would have caused the bellows

inside the gauge to blow up like a balloon. Difficult to fix

unfortunately. Re the dash and window mouldings, it seems strange that

after the beautiful wood-grained versions in 1928, they reverted to plain

black for these in 1929, with the bronze pin-stripe as you describe. Best

wishes for you Hudsoning experiences

Geoff.
