Re: Unusual 16 inch wire wheels

Looks like cut down A wheels with 16" rim. The bent spoke ends and arc welds on the spoke ends are a sure sign. :)

Re: U-Joint Interior Housing Wear

Re: V8 Clutch in Model A: Something is not right

When you tighten up the pressure plate do the release fingers come close to the center of clutch disc not allowing much travel for clutch to release when stepping on pedal? If the disc is too thick...
