Title: C-51 parts needed
Post by: dprat1 on December 05, 2005, 12:24:32 am
Greetings all,
For my Cavalier C-51, I am searching for an original drip jar and the counter weighted dump drain for this. I have the drain but did something stupid while trying to restore and I think is beyond repair :down:  I broke the cast around the hinge while trying to remove the pin. Didn't think that one out very well first :suspect:

Doug,

I think in most cases people use a glass jar that fits best...
Attempting to locate an original jar is going to be out of the question especially since any jar was used most of the time back then...
Ashame the hindge is broken; that may need some JB Weld...

Prat,

I might have an extra Dump Drain. I can look if you want. I used a Glass Jar that square on the bottom. I have a few extra too.

Thanks for the replies. Jim, I considered a JB fix but the broken off piece is so small I do not think it would hold for long ,if at all. Matt, if you have a dump valve and square jar I would be interested...and cost. I could probably pick them up since I am in Bloomington occasionally. Feel free to e-mail me.
Thanks,
doug

Can you take a pic of it I think I have one. It is on my 96 but it should be the same. If you think it will work you can have it.

The base on mine is different. The part where it scres into the machine is round and bigger but I think it will work just fine. I don't want anything for it so you aren't out anything if it doesn't work.

Josh,
I will take you up on the generous offer, thank you.
Gee,,,and I thought everyone just wanted to "line their pockets" here :p  Just kidding of course. I will PM my address and will at least expect to cover your shipping expenses..etc.

Ltansam, thanks for the offer and info. A good resource to have here.

An exciting part of finishing my 1st machine will be posting and sharing the finished product with everyone here. Many have helped in one way or another here.
