Re: 36' Headlight Reflector Size
I would have them aluminum plated. Sounds cheap but it is what they do for medical mirrors and spacecraft mirrors. It will probably cost more than silver. Try UVIRA, (541) 474-5050

Re: Brake Drum Reinforcing Bands
I would look for them at swap meets, that is what I did 40 years ago. Buy scrap drums with the bands and drive them off with a punch.

Problems:
It will drop the value of the car about 4K.
You will have 10 less HP.

I would put a 4 cylinder Chevy II or Burtz engine in before I would put in a Model A...

Re: model a engine
Another more important question is if it was rebuilt, who rebuilt it? I know one local rebuilder that I consider their work so bad that I would rather have a tired engine than one they rebuilt. Do...

Re: Can't replace hub after replacing brake pads.
Sounds like it may be the problem I had on my '37. My drums were all NOS. Did a little digging and found out that the suppliers at that time routinely arced all the shoes for .030 drums. I sent...

Re: 16" Wheels
When I put 600-16's in the fender well of my '31 I had to let the air out and carry a pump.

Re: 1934 hydraulic rear brakes
If I didn't go to Boling Bros I would use '40-'48 Ford brakes. Remember pre and post war were slightly different and I would prefer the post war but at least make them all the same. I have them on...

Re: Model B Ford 4 cylinder identification
The rear mount for the Model B transmission was a flat plate that bolted to the "K" member in the '32 frame. The center was isolated in rubber to reduce vibration.

Re: Model B Ford 4 cylinder identification
The Model A flywheel will work on the Model B motor. If you decide to run a Model B transmission you will need to cut down the the Model A flywheel to clear the bell housing which has probably...

Re: Model B Block Boss on side of block

Re: Model B Ford 4 cylinder identification
I doubt a '33-'34 engine was pulled from a '32. Here is a picture of the front cover for a '33-'34. Note that the mount for the generator sets the generator back towards the rear of the car to...

Re: Model B Ford 4 cylinder identification
I did exactly what you are asking about several years ago. The engine in my ’31 RDPU was tired and need to be replaced. I had a recently rebuilt “B” engine under the bench. I kept the Model A...
