Here are a few pictures of something I'm working on for one of our list subscribers... Mainly I'm working on the pictures, he's doing the actual hard work.



maybe it's a special racing clutch?













Some of you early hudson guys will know what this is....

Good guess Kid, they used a clutch like this back when the Offenhausers dominated the track at Indy. May be one of them. Bud

no, actually, I do know what it is....



I doubt a lot of hudson folks ever seen one of these...



they are a complex affair, as everyone can see...

That's a mult-plate clutch. Hudson used that for a few years in the teens, not sure when they went to a single plate clutch.

Hudson went to the single disc in '27,for both Essex and Hudson. The Essex disc is different from the Hudson-them don't interchange.

Dr Doug, what do you make of that jig saw puzzle? looks complicated, huh?

Huddy42

Yes, they are lots of fun, have done a couple, but will stick with doing the later Hudson-Terraplane ones. Lot less complicated.

yeah, I don't know how many people actually offer rebuild services on these. And honestly, I bet good useable cores have got to be getting hard to find...



quite frankly, it is a wonderful piece of engineering...
