Re: Anyone have one they can measure?
I believe it also has a taper on the end that goes into the aluminum casting.
The longer length is for earlier valve covers which have the fuel pump stand boss cast about 1' taller than later...

Re: '41 PU Rear Window
No problem. I was just curious. On my sliding rear window the glass pains both slide inward, not outward. All that was needed was a clear opening, the same size and shape as the one-piece unit.

Re: '41 PU Rear Window
Is someone willing to show a few pictures of the metal that would need to be cut or trimmed? I'm only familiar with the 1935-39 rear window opening and it would be interesting to see the difference.

In my opinion, your best option is a quality rebuilt original Ford starter. I've seen the insides of a 6 volt starter made in China which sold for $275 - it was junk. Improper clearances, no regard...

Re: Puttin a key in the drivers door
I think the door latch mechanism needs some modification or the addition of a few parts so that when the shaft of your new door lock spins, it will flip the locking latch into position. Since the...

Re: BB Ford wheel split lock rings
Tom - I agree with all the points Stu mentioned. Be patient and keep looking. The wheels you need are out there somewhere and you will find them but it will likely take time.
