| Answer #1 |
Model "18-22" used gray linoleum covering. After chassis No. 66049 they used black, narrow ribbed, rubber matting. My 23´ Special Touring had gray linoleum originally. My 23´ Special Touring had black linoleum originally. |
| Question #2 |
What type of covering, carpet or rubber matting, was originally used on the Standard floors? Were Standards different from Special or De Luxes´ or different in open or closed cars ?

| Answer #2 |
The 1922-24´ Standard, Special and De Luxe OPEN CARS had rubber matting embossed with two lines around the edges and around the starter and shift housing. The CLOSED CARS had carpeting in all models. The 1923 & 24´ had a medium square loop dark blue and gray English wool carpeting. Behind the front seat, along the base, a 6” kick strip was covered with the same carpet. Other years are still being researched. - Doug T. |

Does anyone have a magazine ad or any other documentaion from 1922 or 1923 showing or stating that a Special Roadster was available? How about a Standard Coupe in late 1922?

| Question #4 |
Does anyone have any documentation stating that a “Sport Roadster” or “Sport Touring” or “Phaeton” was offered in any year?
- Doug Thamert, jewettsix@yahoo.com or 520-444-7134 |
| Answer #4 |
In a 1924 Swedish moto magazine There was a mention of a ‘Double Phaeton´. I am trying to locate a copy of that. In a 1st Series 1925 Advertising Brochure there is a 112” wheelbase “Sport Roadster De Luxe” pictured. In a 2nd Series 1925 brochure the name ‘Sport´ was dropped and was now called a “De Luxe Roadster”, with a 115” wheelbase. |

| Question #6 |
I received an email asking where to buy a new timing chain and or gear because their´s were noisy?
- Doug Thamert, jewettsix@yahoo.com or 520-444-7134 |
| Answer #6 |
Egge Machine, listed in ‘Suppliers & Vendors´, had the timing chain in stock and there are other Vendors on our list that can provide the gear. TIP - mine was noisy and I took the oil line off that runs from the timing gear/chain cover to the oil pump and found a small fitting on the cover end that was plugged. Obviously the chain and gear were not getting lubricated. I cleaned the line and fitting and attached it to the oil pump, squirted some Marvel Mystery Oil into the cover, then attached the cover fitting and line and that quieted down the noise, so I don´t think I need to replace anything. This has to be a common problem and solution for any year with an oil line to the chain from the oil pump. |
