Good use form old Ford parts
 

I have made these before, they are the B-5098 bolts for the u/joint cap , I made these from an old Model A driveshaft.
I do this to fix up the loose bolts and housing to get the B-5413 u/joint cap back concentric.

Nice. There is s market for these since the L type are no longer available in A/M.

Lawrie,
I wish I had the time to make a few hundred of these. Fortunately today I just sent off a large load of the 5/8” across the flats slotted nuts that suit these

Michael:

Meaning, you don't have any more or you sent them off to be finished?

Re: Good use form old Ford parts
 

Tim I was able to locate a quantity of them in Germany of all places. They arrived this week and I’ve sent them off for S-2 finish.


I was able at the same time to find some 5/8 af marsden nuts as well for those not wanting to fool with the cotter pins

Re: Good use form old Ford parts
 

Very cool. When do you think they will be ready to go?

Re: Good use form old Ford parts
 

In about ten days. If we can get lawrie to make about 500 of those bolts we’d be set! [emoji6]

Exactly!!!!

Re: Good use form old Ford parts
 

If you knew how long it takes an old toolmaker like me to make them it scare you.
But this time I made some fixtures to hold them in the mill when doing the head and took a lot less.also easy to do the matching on the lathe ,
19 Fourdy, the driveshaft steel looks like its induction hardened to a depth of about 1/16, so it takes some getting through, then its just as tough as and lovely to machine, all with insert tools though.

I made a nicer setup for getting the bell concentric today.thought a pic would help show what is needed and why I need to make the bolts

Lawrie:

Now you've piqued my interested. Besides possible interference with the spinning U-joint, why do you feel the bell needs to be concentrically placed?

Re: Good use form old Ford parts
 

Because it centralises the bell on the torque tube and thus you have the U/joint pivot centre line on the same plane as the bell.
I found this was the main reason for a persistent vibration in our 33 that when the previous owner had it could never get rid of it, some on K/pars 33.
Those four bolts are fitted bolts to the housing and bell for that reason.

Re: Good use form old Ford parts
 

Hmmm.

Re: Good use form old Ford parts
 

That’s a very valid reason that I would have never thought of!
