Found 1920s Westfield chain tensioners.

Looking for chain tensioners and the truss rod cap nut for 1923 Westfield Indian.

Pics? Thread pitch?

I’m not sure about the thread pitch, but it appears to be 24tpi.

The chain tensioners are slotted for a screw driver.

One is missing.

This project is one the back burner for now, so I’m not in a big rush, but I just wanted to put out the feelers to start acquiring the missing parts.
I’ll have better intel, once I actually start the rehab.
Thanks!
I can use all the help I can get.

It’s got a few issues, but nothing that can’t be mended.

The as found condition shows that it’s been awhile since this bike has been ridden.

Marty, you have too many projects, I’ll be right over to take that basket case off your hands!

Just for reference, here’s the type of cap nut that I’m looking for.

Ok, I finally got around to dismantling this bike, and here is what the chain tensioning screws look like.
Kind of an odd size?
Also a finer thread pitch than usual.

So, please let me know, if you happen to have any of this type of Westfield screws available.
Much appreciated!
Thanks!
Marty
