NOS Parts Identification Help (Pic Warning)

[r1lark]

I stumbled across some NOS Studebaker parts; while most of the items have part numbers, there were some that had no part numbers or the part numbers could not be deciphered. I have exhausted all available (to me) methods of determining what these fit, with the excpetion of putting them out in front of knowledgeable Studebaker folks.

Hopefully the combined Studebaker knowledge on this Forum can provide assistance in identifiying these as to application (years, models) or even better yet part numbers.

Thanks in advance!!!!

1) License plate light lens, shown in the first two pics just below.




2) Identified as a fuel tank sender for a '41 car.....thanks to Chris D. and 41Frank!!! Fuel tank sender (two pics just below), does not look like any postwar sender I have seen. Prewar possibly?



3) Not sure what this is, looks like some kind of electrical ‘make/break’ device with a bimetallic strip on one side and a small resistance heater on the other. Shown in following two pics:




4) Identified as a station wagon upper gate latch p/n 1337319 by Dylan Wills - Thanks Dylan!! Some type of chrome latch bracket, I think maybe for a station wagon but don’t know years/models – next two pics:




5) Identified as spacers for '56 backup light bodies p/n 1540328 by KGlowacky - Thanks!! Two chrome spacers, maybe convertible top?? Shown in following picture:



6) Gas pedal, maybe prewar? See following two pics:




7) Two rebound bumpers (at least that is what they look like to me) but much shorter than the ‘50s/’60s ones I am used to. Note that they are two different items, one is shorter with a longer mounting stud, the other is longer with a shorter mounting stud. See following pic:

Gas Pedal is Ford/Mercury, "Lic. Lt." could be a convertible under dash courtesy light, no Stude. lic. Lts. are threaded.

The electrical flasher or time delay switch is not for Stude that I know of.

Maybe Avanti II ? Some of the parts are early Avanti II (ie, 1700xxx series part numbers).

The make/break device looks like the contact (park switch) in a wiper motor... has the same color wires that I have seen on my wiper motor and others

That latch is indeed a station wagon upper tailgate latch. That would be for '60? to '62 wagons if I remember right. Are you selling these parts? If so, I really like that latch!

[r1lark]

Thank Dylan! I'll let you know about selling, also have other various bits and pieces of station wagon tailgate parts.

The sending unit is very similar to the one on my '40, so I would guess it's prewar.

Chris,

Does yours have two wires that attach to it? I really couldn't figure out what the second wire was for.......do you know?

Before I tell you what those chrome looking spacers are for. Are they for sale???? I will pay @10.00 for the pair. LOL. Just kinding but I may have an interest. The are spacers for backup lights for some sort of hawk. I know this only because when I was looking for back up lights for my 56 wagon I purchased a set from Mr Biggs and they came with these spacers. The 56 wagons did not use them and Biggs told me these back up lights came on 56 wagons and golden HAwks or somrthing like that and the spacers were needed on the Hawks. The back up lights are rare rare so I assume these spacers would be also. Although these can be duplicated rather easily. I am sure someone can confirm what year hawks these will fit.

I am sure someone can confirm what year hawks these will fit.

That is a very easy question, since the only Hawks without built-in back-up lights is 1956.

Yep, for 1956, part number 1540328. Thanks!!

It also looks just like the sender in my 41 Champion that I just replaced. Yes they have 2 wires. Until the early 50's many models of Studes if not all had 2 wire senders that is how the gauge functioned. Can't explain excactly how it worked though.

Chris,

Yup, two wires. One goes to the gauge (but mine is not hooked up) and I think the other is a ground or power wire. Not really sure, mine needs a lot of work. lol

Chris and 41Frank, looks like you have it pegged. I found a pic (link: https://www.studebakerparts.com/stud...es/513163i.jpg ) on studebakerparts.com of a '41 sender, and it looks the same. Now, I know that a lot of senders look similar but will have different part numbers.

41Frank, do you still have the sender that you pulled out of your car? If so, can you measure the length of the float arm rod, from where it comes out of the body of the sender to the center of the float?
