Here are 2 photos of earlier stainless steel 6 cyl jackets Ive had made. Have also had some st8 cyl ones made. Its heavier and more boxy than the originals. The 4mm plate with all the laser cut stud holes & corners should seal better than the original, and last a lot longer. The latest ones Ive had made are not boxy at the front - they have a taper like the original ones to give clearance to the genny. As mentioned, the second hole is partialy blocked so I shifted the hole 1/2". Hope its of interest. Regards, Barry

    Nice looking welds. Are you able to supply these to club members? If so, how much?

    am bringing the following to Pontiac: NOS: Dorman # WJ 45 for the '33 T6 & WJ 22 for the '32-3 Hudson 8. Used: a late 8 ('48-52), a '34-5, and late 8 that someone moved the spout so useable for the '34-5.

    Began loading & packing this a.m. - have all the Owners Manual done & about 1/2 of the sales lit. Laid out the water jackets covers to catalog then put into PU.

    Most of the parts I'm bringing I'll get over the weekend at Prescott, blast off early Sun.

    The 6 cyl jackets are $160 each. The St8 jackets are $200 Aust. I dont plan to get any more made. The postage to the USA would be a killer as they are heavy. Im sure someone in the USA could get some made for around the same price and save on the postage. Interesting that Ricks above photo shows the outlet bolted on, and no need for the front taper to give genny clearance. Thanks Rick. Regards, Barry
