STATIC COLLECTOR

[Joe D.]

I AM REPLACING THE FRONT BALL BEARINGS ON MY 1961 WITH ROLLER BEARINGS. I NOTICED IN A PARTS CATALOG STATIC COLLECTORS. I DID NOT HAVE THEM ON MY CAR WHEN I REMOVED THE FRONT HUBS. DID ALL 56-62'S HAVE THEM? THANKS AS ALWAYS, JOE

Re: STATIC COLLECTOR

Yes they did. They were inside the grease cap, and the button touches the end of the spindle. Most reproductions sell you two that are identical--the originals were different. They were "wound" opposite, so that one was for right-hand and the other left-hand.

Joe,
Don't worry about them though, the general consensus is that the did little if any good. They were used up until the 7o's I belive. but almost every single one was thrown away when the first bearing greasing took place.
