Re: Adjusting Brake Rods

Re: sign of the times
I learned how to drive on a manual. Drove tractors and dump trucks (farming) until I was old enough to get a driver license. Never even saw an automatic car until high school. Still feels too...

Re: Fuse size
Yes. And to expand upon what others have said, most Model A wiring harnesses are made from 14 ga. wire. In my location, code dictates that 14 ga. wire will handle up to 15 amps safely (at room...

Re: Fuse size
Depends on the load(s). If using all stock lights and just the single brake light, 20 or 25 amp fuse is fine. If using two tail lights and halogen headlights, 30 amp fuse minimum. If using all...

Re: Grease in 2-tooth
You could certainly do that. Use some brake kleen or similar and spray as much of that out of there as possible. Then, fill with proper lube and drive it for a while. Flush after a few months of...
