Anyone have a source for 1937 212 cam bearings ? Randy said he could make some but not untill sometime after the Nationals . Would like to have this thing back on it's feet before that---BUD

    I could use a set too. You just dont buy them in the box like a late model, I will have a set made when i have my rods and main bearings done .

    I was able to buy a set for my '36T from Headly Bennett in Canada. He is an HET member and he is in the roster. The other possible source would be HET member Carl Webber in Massachusetts (however you spell it!) Both of these gentlemen have pre-war Hudson parts.



    These are rather hard to find!

    Dale Cooper sells the newer ones (1941 and up) but I'm guessing they won't fit the earlier ones...

    I have made sets for the earlier splasher motors. Use bronze and pour babbitt on the inside and turn and bore on the lathe. Have also used the later bearings and made sleeves to press over the bearing and drive into the block. Works good also.

    Hey guys , I got real lucky , Squalin and bawlin around turned up a set from a guy I met at a bluegrass festival several yrs ago at this yrs festival who doesn't have the car anymore, got a few more odds and ends he still had . You other guys , Randy said he would make some but not untill after the nationals , get lined up and he could do them all while he has things set up for it . Thanks to all. BUD

    RANDY, I may get another engine I'm looking at and don't know what shape it's in . May want a set for it when you get set up to do some . If you would let me know when someone else orders and you can do them then,won't be in any big rush on these .--BUD

    I'll take a set as I am planning on rebuilding a '37 212 "big port" engine, which I believe uses the same cam bearings as the '36 (small port) 212 cu in engine. Thank you.
