Kudos to Tom Endy
Most of the folks that know me, would believe me if I stated that I am not much of a follower, but tend to try to work thru an issue on my own first. One of my previous occupations was quite competative, and I finally figured out that if you go around copying other folks, the very best you could do was finish second.
I have only built (11) rear end housing assemblies and completed the most recent two of them this afternoon. When filing my records of these rebuilds, I decided to look at a copy of a rear end assembly article that I got somewhere that was done by Tom. I sat down and read thru it, and was impressed by his presentation. It was complete and detailed and I was happy to see how close a job I did at figuring out my way compared to Toms approach. This may be along way around about saying that I sure wish I had just used Toms article from the beginning. I did end up with a few tools that are not mentioned, but I am a 'tool' guy that just looks for excuses to own or make one. Nice work Tom! It is a VERY nice contribution to this group of good guys. Thank you!

Re: Kudos to Tom Endy
I used Tom's article when I did my Phaeton differential this past month. I am truly amazed by the experts on this forum who are willing to help us hobbyists. Ton is one of the best.

Re: Kudos to Tom Endy
Except for the installing the drive shaft bearing sleeve I have rebuilt 5+ rear ends using Toms information as my guide. Thank you.

Re: Kudos to Tom Endy
Yes I've noticed lotsa good advice posted by Tom Endy.
...I'll check out the website I'm back to say, that website's like the restoration manual that never was. I put it in favorites and going back to read more. See ya. http://www.ocmafc.com/Tom%20Endy%27s...20Articles.htm Last edited by Craig Lewis; 01-05-2013 at 12:14 AM. |

Re: Kudos to Tom Endy
I am lucky enough to be in the same Model A Club as Tom, and besides all the helpful articles he has written and made available, he also hosts several "clinics" each year at his garage to help other members with their Model A's...on a wide variety of issues. He is a wonderful mentor to anyone in the hobby and always very generous with his help and time....a real credit to our hobby!
