Peter,

I know 3 people who have Regents (sequentially numbered, no less) who may have parts. They are Jon Leimkuehler in Pittsburgh, Henry Hensley in Houston, and Ned Numata in Maui and Tokyo. You can get their contact info through the RROC directory. I'm not sure there is such a thing as a correct trunk but maybe they know better. If you are referring to the aluminum wheel disc covers as spare tire discs, contact Mike Rabin at LMARR in California, he makes them. They are not cheap but they look great.

Peter, here's a photo of the wheel discs from LMARR I was referring to above on our 1937 Gurney Nutting 25/30. Not sure if this is what you were asking about. Also several other sources of parts occur to me. Try Steve Litten or Butch Murphy (both in Ohio) and maybe Rudy Rosales as well (also in OH), or maybe Dick Frawley and Tim Jayne (both in PA) and Pierce Reid in Stowe VT. With the exception of Rudy Rosales, they all have repair/restoration shops and maybe have the parts you need or know of somebody who may have them.

Hi Bill,

Thanks for all your information. I've been in contact with Henry Hensley and Ned Numata right from when I bought S460MR and joined the RROC. And I was able to buy a proper American Springfield Phantom I Flying Lady from Rudy Rosales which I didn't have. I appreciate all the other names you've supplied.

I am trying to trace the history of my car. It appears to be an original Brewster Regent, not a re-body on a closed car chassis, as some Regents are.

The discs I need are the sidemount "hold down" discs with the RR emblem that fit in the hub of the spare wheels. Currently I'm using the earlier style dished discs with no emblems, as used on earlier Phantoms.

Peter,

OK, now I know what you are talking about, the "hold down" clamps that tighten down and hold the spares in place above the fender wells. A few years before his death, John DeCampi in New Hampshire was selling these and they were being made I think by Pierce Reid in Vermont. They were the dish-shaped ones without the flat surface with the R-R badge which sounds like what you have. I think the flat disc with the R-R logo should be reproducible by a foundry (at a price!) and then affixed to the cups on the ones you have. You might try Rudy again or Pierce may have some ideas. Also, Steve Littin near Cleveland does a lot of parts fabrication and he should be able to give you some ideas. You might want to join the Silver Ghost Association since the chassis are pretty much identical to the P-1's other than the motor and clutch. SGA members may have some ideas and parts availability too.
