Hooray Hi there, Yes that is the window, except the one I need is the left hand side. No matter it's a Super, so is mine. The part I need is the hinge on the glass frame. I can explain how to get it out if you like as it's not that easy. Actually it is not that hard just takes a bit of time and...

Thank you! I just spent all day connecting the head lighters, parkers and tail lights and they actually work a real bonus. See Ya Trakcless :hurray:

your parts car Hi there from Australia. I am after just the top female hinge on the front left hand 1/4 vent of the front left hand door. This part is attached to the window glass frame---the bit that turns in/out. I had my frame rechromed and the hinge must have dissolved in their cleaning...

Hi there, restoring a '47 Super down under in Australia. Pretty much underway but it has never had a radio. Found the odd one on ebay etc. but really looking for a modern one with blue tooth and plug in capability. The problem seems to be the unique shape of the Super dash board "hole". Any...

Just a bit of info on my car. 1947 Buick Super mod 51 and original RHD. The rebuild is coming along and has been a body off, complete pull down. I can say that not a single nut/bolt has not been undone, tapped and cleaned during the process. Rebuilt engine with a +30 tho over bore and new...

Hi all from Australia. I'm restoring my 1947 Super original RHD. It belonged to my father and has been in the family for all but 2 years of its life. Anyway: Trying to re do the steering wheel centre plastic emblem. Have sanded it down to get rid of the crazing with real success. No chance of...

Hi there from Australia. Restoring my '47 Buick Super, now reassembling the engine after full rebuild. I have come to putting on the harmonic balance. I have a spacer that fits the crank nose diameter with a cut out for the key-way on the nose of the shaft. I'm pretty sure that it goes between...

Hi there from Australia. Have read the threads on disc conversions but perhaps a little too late as I have bought the kanter conversion kit with just the rotors,callipers and brackets. The spacers are wrong and so is the bracket. Spacers do not center the caliper on the rotor and the brackets...

Hi there from Australia, Have placed several threads before with success. New question is: How do I get the antenna off the roof of my sedan. There must be a trick to it but I surely do not know it. This is the last bit left on the body. I look at it when doing other things but no success so...

Hi all :hurray:I'm restoring a '47 Buick Super RHD down in Australia. Engine is about to go back together. Bought an Edmund dual carby manifold and 2 Strombergs to go with it. They have arrived in Auz but I wont see them for a few weeks (at work in PNG). Tried unsuccessfully to get the original...

Hi there, perhaps I shouldn't put 2 so different requests together but there you go. 1. I am trying to get the plastic emblem out of the chrome centre surround of my Buick steering wheel so I can get another made at Emblem Magic. Have run feeler guages around the sides to clear the glue(?)...
