Yes Gordon, I do have both front and rear "original" engine mounting cross braces.  This version of the four cylinder Locomobile engine was surely the most advanced with , five main bearings, long 6" stroke, full pressure oiling and the trademark manganese bronze crankcase.

I was given these wheels. The rubber is held onto the rims with a steel band in the center. Outside diameter is about 730mm and width 100mm. The centers have been cut out many years ago. Anyone recognize from what vehicle they might be?

Regards

Surely an British/European hub mounted Odometer as it is KM and not miles.  This is most likely an aftermarket item sold to many manufacturers to be used on a wide variety of trucks or automobiles.  What is shown on the mounting flange?  Is it mounted with male or female threads?  What does the underside look like?  Is the trigger mechanism complete and functional?

This is a nice piece to mount to someones rig.

Hello Ted,

If you get a chance to get close to this odometer, try to get another picture showing the bottom side.  If not, we can only be happy that we have seen your pictures.  Good Luck...
