1940 ServiCycle

Part Number number 493 rear wheel pully clips

I need a photo of a rear wheel pully clip taken with a ruler so that I can judge the size. Also the approximate thickness of the clip.
or a brief sketch with dimensions
or a known source to purchase some.

Thanks in advance.

I checked Workman Cycle and could not locate that part or part number

I think Wayne M has them .

Yes, Wayne has the clips.  Much easier than making them all from scratch unless you have plenty of time.  They are about .037 thick & 3/8" wide.  Hole sizes are .218.  C/L to C/L is about 3/8".  When closed up, the hole for the spoke is somewhere between an 1/8 & 3/16.

Thanks for the photo and part description.
I would rather purchase the clips. I only need eight, and they appear to be not to difficult to fabricate.

Tried the phone number for Wayne a few times but did not get an answer.

The parts are for a 1939 Servi-Glide, which I have had for 40 years or so. It was used by a Western Union delivery man in 1939-40s. I have a stack of Western Union payment vouchers for $4.00 for a motor bike.
Also a lien for Servi-Glide number 40D1195 dated 10-11-39 from Western Union.

You have to post a picture!  Wayne is probably not home from the VMBC meet in Portland yet.  Leave him a message and he will get back to you.

How long have you had your servi-glide?  Most have never seen one until Wayne brought the one he bought from the Gary Wollard collection to Portland.  I had the chance to take it for a spin, and it was pretty neat!

I have had the ServiGlide since 1974 or 1975. I knew the original owner's son. We worked as test technicians in Ford Moror Company's brake & tire test lab at that time.
The bike is a total basket case. I have most of the parts except for two brake levers, the air cleaner and the exhaust system. The engine turns easily, but the carb is a disaster. The colors on the engine shroud are very faded.
Even have one very brittle Simplex 26x2.25 tire. The tube is dust.
Garry Wollard's bike was missing the engine cover, but I have the original - photo attached (click on image it will enlarge).
Garry Wollard told me that he was not happy to hear from me as there were now two known ServiGlides. I talked to Gary several times, sad to see him pass.

very neat!  I like the logo.  Bob Legron told me he knew of another out there.  There can't be many around.  I was very surprised at how inexpensive Gary's sold for. I would have guessed at least twice the selling price.  Leslie Wollard told me before the auction that they wanted at least $6000 for it, but I did not want to pay that much.

I may have some of the clips you are looking for, msg me and I'll try to get some dug out.

Thanks
For the clips please send email to rodneym5   at yahoo dot com

I wonder if Wayne would like some good photos and a measured drawing of the engine shroud.

I bet he would. Post some more pics of yours!

All the photos that I have at this point in time are photos of the engine shroud, engine and the rear & front fenders. I am attempting to put the bike together as it was used by the original owner. Not quite OEM but functional. The engine shroud’s paint is very deteriorated, but why destroy the history with a restoration.
For the air cleaner, the original owner replaced the original air filter assembly with a two tin cans, punched holes in it for air intake, filled the can with oil soaked steel wool and used what may be the original carb attachment. The OEM headlamp may have been relpaced with a Los Angeles fog lamp with a low current bulb. There was a good reason to do this as the OEM lamp shown in the brochure had very little light output. It has the original but damaged generator, that will have to be replaced. Found a matching pair of Deltaflex lenses for the rear tail lamps.

Sounds awesome. Wayne's is also missing the air cleaner, and Bill Erickson was trying to help him out with something.

You should post a build thread along with pics of your progress . I'd lay money that more than one would be interested in following your progression .

Had a nice talk with Wayne early Tuesday morning.  He said his Servi-glide is 97cc. The bore is the same as a 125cc but it has a shorter stroke.
