Don,
There are a number of parts that may be sourced in the US. However, I
doubt that anyone has put together a list. For bearings and seals, visit
your local bearing store. Bring the old part with you.
Gaskets I usually cut myself from material I get at the auto parts
stores.
Other items, I just do a search on the internet. For example, I just
found a source for the 5/32" thick wall brass pipes for the central
lubrication system. Unfortunately, they don't want to sell to me. They
want me to go through their customer "K & S Engineering". These are the
folks whose stuff you see in all the hobby shops.
Regarding straightening your cross tube. Why straighten? I would replace
with another section of pipe after removing the ends. It's a whole
easier if the bent tube is one that bolts in. But even if it's one that
is riveted to the chassis, it should be able to be replaced.
Regards,
Lew Palmer

Subject: PA parts
I'm new at this so please be patient...
I have developed 7 typed pages of missing/broken/worn parts for PA 1823
and
I'm looking for part suppliers.
I understand the boys at the local NAPA store won't be stocking front
trunnion pins for a 35 PA, but I've got to believe there are some
"consumable" parts like bearings, seals, etc., that might be sourced
here in
the U.S. The freight and wait times to the UK are eating my lunch! Am I
living in dream land or can someone offer help?
I have catalogs from both Moss and S&V. Moss USA (at least here in KC)
doesn't stock anything before T series. Also have found a specialty shop
in
Nevada for screws, clips, etc. What am I missing? Understand that more
esoteric and branded parts will have to be located through vehicles such
as
this great network of experts.
Any suggestions on how to remove dents from front chassis cross tube?
Previous owner gave something a hell of a whack (or ... more likely
multiple
whacks). Local engine machinist can straighten for true but can't figure
how
to get dents out. I understand these are rare parts. Anyone made one
from
scratch?
Thanks,
Don B.
