Diaphram Needed

edited November -1 in HUDSON
Anyone have a diaphram for the cylinder that operates the shift mechanism used on the mid 30's electric shift ? It is 3 3/8 diameter with about 1/2 inch dish. That is unless it was originally flat and took on the dish from setting for 70 some yrs.

    I Would Contact Frank Meyers In Ohio He's The Man When It Comes To Elect. Hand
  • I think what K-gap has is for the later drivemaster system, hex shape and a bit larger. $65 each. Anyone needing one I have several new ones I won't be needing for a LOT less. The rubber is live and in good shape.--- Could'nt find a link or email for Frank,anyone know? Meantime I'm trying to form one from an inner tube and by golly I think it's gonna work. Used the houseing for a form , a bunch of clothes pins, and heated it with a hair dryer. Cooled it down with ice and it was just a wee bit off. Think it would have been O.K. but I Repeated the process and this time I'm gonna leave it in the freezer a couple days, ANY BETS?

    I think the hex diaphragm actually started around '38.

    I was going to offer to send you a couple of condoms, then I logged on and realized that's not what you were talking about...:D

    what's scary is I was thinking along these lines, but didn't want to be the first to say anything. If nothing else, SamJ has ease of use in mind. I heard those other things can be confusing... :p
  • Confusion can sometimes be temporary, other times it can be permanent and incurable. If you have ongoing symptons call your doctor if you have never been evaluated for this condition
    NEXT VICTEM
  • ALLRIGHTY, back to my elect. shift If anyone can tell me how to get in touch with Frank Meyers over in Ohio I'd sure like to talk to him. I'll be nice,Promiss I won't yank on his string.
  • IT WORKED!! My CUSTOM MADE diaphragm is good as anything one could buy. Put the vacume to it and it pulls and returns like a charm. Still would like to get in touch with Frank Meyers . Two heads always better than one and anybody that thinks they know it all has got a lot to learn.
    Gonna send SamJ and the Kid an invitation when I graduate.
