1913 Thor Model 13-W ... HELP PLEASE!

[silentgreyfello]

I am trying to get this old girl back on the road but need the linkage for operating the eclipse clutch. Anybody have pictures or parts? Any info would be appreciated! Besides that, I am going to put new control cables and tires on her and leave it be. Hopefully have it running soon!

I found this picture on the web of a twin, and some of an ad. I am guessing that this is the linkage that I need, but don't know for sure. Also, check out the headlight... I think it was designed for the Titanic!

I know I've got some Thor info here somewhere. I'll see if I can dig something up tomorrow night. Cool bike by the way! Leaving as is sounds perfect!

I don't know if these pics will be of any help. This was Dave Leitner's Thor.

Yes, those are excellent! Especially the first one. I can see the handle for the clutch! While that bike is the earlier style, it is good info to have. Thanks Eric! Keep 'em coming!

Well... I did some digging and found a bit of Thor stuff but nothing for 1913 yet. All of the photos so far are of the wrong side!!! I'll keep up the hunt. Eric the photos you posted are awesome!!!

I didn't come up with anything in the home library so I hit the internet. After a fair bit of searching it brought me to the CLUB LIBRARY!!! The 1913 pamplet is there and after a download it appears to have a shot of what you need to know.

Looking at this a little closer, I think the eclipse clutch should be what is similar to the white twin below, but not with the gate above. There isn't a place to mount the lever like on Leitner's bike. There is a pivot point on my bike just above the eclipse that I think the lever pivots on and then just stands supported on the pivot bracket. I really need to see some pics now, or a parts book!
