im having problems finding a few parts for my 53 kaiser manhattan, im looking for wheel cylinders for the front, kanter does not have them, and i dont know where else to look, anyone know of a shop that would carry rare parts for this car? also, im looking for a trunk lid too, mine is all rotted and id rather find me another lid then try to repair it... can anyone point me in a direction?
Yup, Kaiser Bill knows more than anybody and knows where stuff is. GOOD one, PartsDawg! I'm a believer in letting your fingers do the walking. I'd keep an eye on Fee-Bay, 'cause lots of boneyards post parts cars there, and it's always changing. You might try a WANT AD on the HAMB. There are some K-F lovers here. Obviously, you'd like to find parts as CLOSE to you as possible. So, there's RoadKillCustoms, an alliance member. Based in Kentucky, they have compiled (and are continually refining and adding to) a nationwide junkyard list, and I believe they made it searchable by the end of '09. They are not hard to find, bro. Are you a member of the national Kaiser-Frazer owners club? If not, you might ASK about a cl***ified that members with spare parts (and info) would see.
