Playin' Between Rain Drops
We’ve been experiencing unusually heavy rain fall here in Central Florida for the last couple of weeks and, today was no exception… ![]() ![]() Mike drove his ’41 BC down so we could put it up on the lift to see if we could locate the driveline noise… ![]() ![]() Cliff also came over to give us a hand. ![]() ![]() When Mike showed up I was just finishing up an oil change on the ’47 rag top, ![]() ![]() ![]() We did locate the source of the noise in the ’41; it was coming from the bearing in the torque tube. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Hi Vic, Looks like your having fun. Just a reminder about those torque tube bearings, most of the aftermarket stuff is junk. Try to get nos if pos. Good luck, Paul

Yes
Skip does and he has a detailed instruction on the procedure. I am sure he would share a copy of the process to change the center bearing.. Tricky. John |

You two have great time over there. Don't eat too much. From personal experience there are no bad meals to be had in Italy.

All Good Things Come to an End
![]() Our vacation in Italy is winding down, just two days and a wakeup remain. I have seen a bunch of restored and unrestored '50's and '60's vintage FIAT's, and other cool European automobiles, not to mention all the historic sites, but no early Ford V8's... ![]() ![]()
