Stovebolt.com Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts 1946 COE in Denmark

Niels, I will get some shots of the hood latches on my truck tonight and send them to you. What is wrong with your hood emblem? I had my eye on one on EBay a couple of years ago. It was beautiful, NOS, in the original box and went for over $1500.00. Mine was terribly restored by a chrome plater many years ago and I have always wanted to replace it. I have a spare but it is badly pitted. I also have one that someone sent me that is broken in half:(
Again, love the new truck.

Congratulations Niels: Now your a member of a small club, not very many pre war Art Deco COE's around! I have a spare hood emblem that I painted with chrome paint. I had another one re chromed that was in about the same shape, cost me $400. The pot metal parts are costly to get re chromed. Also sent several pics.

Hi all
Sorry for the delayed reply, but work had been takling my time
But thanks for all the comments.
I had a look at the casting numbers on the engine and it’s from late may 54, which I think makes it’s a pressure lubricated.

The nose badge has lost a section of the passenger side wing, it’s not critical but if I could find a good replacement it would be nice.

I am missing the rods and the bracket that attaches the hood lock to the handle.

Does the brake return spring attached to the engine manifold or the chassis ?

I hope to have abit more time for the truck next week.

Cheers

Niels V,

A little searching through old conversations came up with this one about your brake pedal return spring question.

There are a couple of pictures in there that looks like your spring should attach to a bracket on the frame, not the manifold.

Hope this is a little helpful???

Hi Dan
Yes it looks very plausible, I will check if I have hole for connecting it to the chassis, next time I am on the farm

Niels,

If their is a hole in the frame itself, that should be a bolt hole for mounting the "Z" shaped spring bracket that should be mounted there (see the other thread pictures).

If you check that earlier conversation, the last picture shows the bracket with typed dimensions you can use to fabricate a replacement bracket if yours is missing entirely.

That is a really sharp looking truck… we have similar tastes ! . Best of luck with it ! I’ve still got some work ahead of me to get it done.

Hi Dan
It doesn’t have a hole in the chassis. But the eye in the manifold seems to do you the job.

That’s a nice looking combo, I like the two tone on the COE.

I fitted side indicators today and had it out for a test drive.
I still have a slight issue with charging, I think related to the voltage regulator, the generator is charging 7,4V, but I only have a very small charge on the battery.

Wow, I'm late to the game but had to say it. Very nice, love everything about it. I Googled Vognmand, only thing I could find was Trucker, Hauler, Freight. Underneath Vognmand, S.Hornset. Any story behind the graphics, assuming they were on when you purchased?

Thanks.
Yes the graphics where on door when I bought it, S. Hornset is the name of a previous owner, and Vognmand, is an older term used in the Nordic countries, for smaller haulage contractor companies.
