1951 Ford convertible pivot
 

Any thoughts on where I can get one of these pivots for my 1951 Ford convertible? Ome side is missing.

Things like this are one of the reasons I bought a cheap Chinese mini-lathe. I don't need to turn an axle housing these days, but whipping up something like this is a great project, especially when you have a pattern to go by.

I'd suggest calling Chris Robbins, he has many parted out 49-51 Ford & Mercurys. 610 442 2187, call between Noon and 10 pm.

Thanks for the tip. I called Chris Robbins, and he didn't have the part; but he told me to call Tim Halter, who is the Ford convertible top guru. I called Tim and he didn't have the part either.

Good news. Now you have no excuse not to be out in the shop, toiling away.:D

Still have other things to do. Just finished stringing the car to reset the toe-in at 1/16" each side. Always something to do.
