Hello again forum, here for any help I recently purchased a Entex 1/16 1914 Dennis Motor Fire- Engine and all bags were all pretty much stapled but there are 2 things I'm missing and need to know if anyone here would know where I could get replacement? or aftermarket? I'm missing one of the clutch springs, and one of the brass eyelets for axle. I took some photos of spring I do have with a mm measuring ruler not sure if I'm figuring the measurements correctly or where I can even find this small of a spring. this is the measurements I figured going by the info I got off the net to figure out the spring size: Solid Height 2mm, Free Length 5.5mm, Outside Diameter 2mm, Inside Diameter 1.75mm or 2/32" or 1/16", Wire Diameter 1/64", Max Rod Diameter 2mm. I couldn't take photos of all measurements. I hope all the experts know the actual size and maybe where I can find and or how to purchase using the correct sizes? I'm also missing one of the brass ladder eyelets for axle. I don't know where to even start looking for one of these nor how to measure to get the correct one, any help would greatly be appreciated as always! Thank you in advance for any help! Bummer666

Hello everyone. I found this Entex kit at my local hobby store for $60. I'm a big fan of these old brass era autos. The kit features the 1910 Thomas Flyer Model M 6 - 40. Possibly the best Thomas ever built, it had the companies most powerful 6 cylinder engine (64Hp @ 1500RPM) and highest price tag. Surprised I haven't seen any of these cars built on this forum. I've seen many Mercers (which I eventually want to build) but not these Thomas's Anyways, I started getting the engine assembled. The cylinder heads were put together along with the brass priming cups. Before the heads were mounted to the block, i installed the valve springs. Finally the flywheel was installed. The car on the box art is green but I feel that RED what look good on the car. Along with natural rubber white colored tires
