The yellow zinc chromate primer is really showing in those last pictures.
Any other developments with the project Fred ?
 
Hello,

I just sent the saddle off to get rebuilt. I will be cleaning up the undercarriage on it a lot more prior to a repaint. The saddle needs to be totally restored. It did not weather well these last 70 years. The pedals did not either. I plan to strip the undercarriage, find some flat yellow primer and then a nice coat of O.D. Green. I hve the spokes and nipples painted and just put the first coat on the rims. I will be lacing rims in the next few weeks. I am back working full time so it will be a slow process. I am also rebuilding a 1947 Schwinn DX as my rider and a 1939 DX. My days are full.

Hello,

Here are some pictures of what I have picked up and gotten ready for the bike. My biggest chore will be to relace the wheels and find a couple of internal parts for the rear hub. I picked up a pump and clamp(Iam working on a correct hose), Bevins bell, front light, replacement spokes, nipples, and rims. I also picked up some small hand tools and oilers. I got the fenders rolled out. By next week I can get the crank, pedals, fenders, chain guard ,light headset and handle bars back on. It is actually starting to take shape.

Fred. When you get a chance, could you measure the front of the seat spring to the back of the spring . I don’t have a g519 saddle yet but I have a few prewar Persons but they seem to be long. Thanks

Thanks Fred. If you find any extra parts let me know. I need a bell , air pump & bracket. Enjoy seeing your progress.
 
Sam,

I got the bell off of ebay and gave it a coat of paint. The hard part was finding the bottom bracket for it All of $9. I got the pump and bracket from the CABE. I am working on building the correct hose for it. I have a repro bracket for the pump that I got from Bergerwerk.

My civilian 41 seat spring is about 1” longer. The pan looks Identical to yours and my frame looks about 1/2 to 1” longer. I hope to find a g519 saddle one of these days. No bike funds right now. Living in Pa and being self employed not a good combination. No income for 6 weeks. The Emperor of Pa says I can go back to work the 8th.

Hello,

Finally got the undercarriage for the saddle apart. Thank you Evapo-Rust!!! I have cleaned it up and will start repainting this weekend before it rains. A yellow primer first and then a nice lusterless O.D. Green.
