Re: What I Did on My Lunch Hour Vic
Where did you get the wheel cylinders for the Zephyr? Frenchy |
Re: What I Did on My Lunch Hour Frenchy, I got them from NAPA, they are not U.S. made but they look good and (so far) work well.:) And the best part... they were $17.00 each not $55.00 each from a Lincoln Zephyr parts dealer...:eek::D:cool: Vic

Re: What I Did on My Lunch Hour Now that the Zephyr is firing on all 12 cylinders and running the way she should:D, its time for us to focus our attention on Mike's '41 BC and go through the brakes next Saturday. After that we'll pull the '51 F-1's transmission out and install the '49 Merc transmission with OD.;) That should make the truck even more "user friendly" on those long, over the highway, road trips. Stay tuned for more Flathead fun...:eek::D:cool:

Re: What I Did on My Lunch Hour Quote:
Thanks Vic great information on these part # the last set I bought from Boos / Herrel Lincoln Zephyr sold me a pair for over $120.00. This will be some saving for me on the second time around on my new project. Vic is there a part # to rebuild the original one. Thanks Frenchy |
Re: What I Did on My Lunch Hour Frenchy, I'm not sure about the sleeve, etc. for rebuilding the wheel cylinders, Try calling Joblot in Queens, NY, ask for James (tell him I said hi ):), he should be able to help. It really pays to cross reference part #'s, anything with a "B" prefix can be used on Ford, Mercury & Lincoln Zephyr and a lot of the rubber parts are interchangeable as well. It’s much less expensive to buy "Ford/Merc" parts...:cool: Vic

Vic Thanks for all the help !!! Frenchy |
Re: What I Did on My Lunch Hour Frenchy,
Glad I could help. I just want a ride in your Hot Rod Lincoln :D if and when I get the chance to be out in Tempe again...:cool: Vic |
Re: What I Did on My Lunch Hour Vic
The part # you gave me is this for the front or the rear. I know that the front wheel cylinders maybe different because of the pressure applied vs the rear which maybe less. Frenchy |
Re: What I Did on My Lunch Hour Sorry Frenchy, CRS rears its ugly head once again...:o # 14494 are the front wheel cylinders and # 14493 are the rear wheel cylinders.

Re: What I Did on My Lunch Hour Parts is Parts...
Wow,:D I got a phone call from a friend of a friend last night, he has a '50 F-1 that he put a Mustang II front end in and he asked me if I would like the original axle complete with springs, backing plates drums, etc.:eek: I'm taking a ride today to pick it up!:cool: |
Re: What I Did on My Lunch Hour Parts is Parts... Update
I drove over to pick up Don (so he could help me move the ’50 F-1 front axle assembly), got to his house around 10:30am. I drove through a little rain but the sky was clear and dry when we got to the location where the axle was. The guy had the axle, etc. assembled and sitting in a small trailer:). I asked if I could just hook the trailer up to my F-150, take the axle home, then bring the trailer back on my way to drop Don off at his house. He agreed and Don and I took off for my house. We took the Axle, etc. out of the trailer and headed back… about this time the sky opened up and the rain came down…:eek: Fortunately, there was a lull in the downpour just as we pulled into the lot where we needed to return the trailer.:D The ’50 F-1 that the axle came out of now has a Mustang II with (I think) a 302c.i. OHV, etc. The owner of the truck wants to swap transmissions (not sure what he’s got in it but I know it’s not the original) so he’s going to drive it over to my garage this Saturday for us to get a look at it…:cool: I wonder if he likes pizza…:eek::eek:;) |
Re: What I Did on My Lunch Hour Vic: I've worked 6 mo in the past 3 1/2 years, but I'm thinking of taking some of my 401K and moving near to you and opening a pizza parlour, figure in a couple of years I'll have made enough money to retire................
paul in CT |
Re: What I Did on My Lunch Hour Paul,
Not a good idea. In the worst case the pizza is only about a 5 minute walk away. Walking there would only happen when something is not drivable. Been there. The pizza is good stuff. |
Re: What I Did on My Lunch Hour Paul, if you'll deliver:eek:, that would be excellent!:D Plus we can always use another set of hands wrenchin' on our Flatheads;):cool: Vic

Re: What I Did on My Lunch Hour The UPS Lady dropped off a package of parts today ;). Thanks to Roy Nacewicz the '39 LZ is now sportin' new coil nuts :eek::D
http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n...2012/010-6.jpg and a new copper clad steel Fuel pump to carb fuel line.:D:cool: http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n...2012/011-4.jpg By the way, if any of you hapen to have a '39 or '40 LZ air cleaner that's lookin' for a new home... I have a place for it;) Now I have to get the generator converted to 12 volts and get a 12 volt voltage regulator so I can get rid of the one wire alternator and hook up the original style harness that is inside the plug wire looms... |
Re: What I Did on My Lunch Hour I'm looking forward to tomorrow:), the plan, as of now, is to install '50 F-1 backing plates, brakes and drums on the front axle of Mike's '41 Business Coupe...:cool: After that, I hope to get our '51 F-1 up on the lift to disconnect and pull the stock transmission:eek: so we can replace it with the '49 Merc OD transmission... that's a lot to get done before pizza...:D;)
