Found the 90 degree fitting. Still need some vintage brass barbed hose ends.

Restoring a period correct MoPar stock car, 1969 Dodge. Used on the 8 3/4 gear center section and axle cooler. Looking to buy 3 of the 90 degree fittings and a few of each hose end. 90 degree is: 3/8 pipe x 5/8 flare. Note the radius of the fitting. NEW stuff is cheapened up, NOT the same...

Craigslist find...

Painted, but hope to get a better match when the weather gets warmer. Still need to straighten the sides a bit more.

Thanks!

Will do !

Estate sales are cool. Got a nice Hein-Werner WS jack for 20 bucks. Mechanically perfect, tested it and lift/held fine.

Fastenal and McMaster had nothing. (Plenty of snap rings though!!) I'll make my own, starting off with close sized lock washers and worked them to fit.

They were totally round. Taking them off sprung them a little. The 1/4" was bent up already and almost fell off. I'll try McMaster-Carr. Thanks.

I needed it because I have a vintage pic of my old race car sitting on one. I'll use it when I show the car as part of the display. I looked ALL over and the D-7400 is a rare one to find, especially from the mid 60s.

Where can I buy these in 1/2, 3/4 and 1 inch i.d. sizes? Plan B would be to flatten them out and attempt to reuse. Thanks-

Pics after a clean-up. Looking for proper paint color and new retainers for the axle, lift arm and saddle.

Any updates on this thread?

Is the floor sealed? Most of the humidity comes up through the floor. Concrete is porous! When I built my garage, I laid 4 mil plastic on the sand before the floor was poured. Worked wonders. Have cut metal pieces over a decade in there without any rust on it... So, look into sealing...

I bought this jack and will be restoring it. Here's where the pics will be posted- https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=371187
