Re: Original style shocks
Anybody? They can be used as long as they are in good enough condition to be rebuilt.

Original style shocks
Looking to purchase original style shocks for a 31' Deluxe Roadster. I can't bear drilling a hole in the frame for "modern" shock mounts. Have a couple of roadster parts I may be willing to trade or...

Re: Who's Buying An"A"?
Storage is my issue as well. With the 31' already taking up one garage bay, I'd have to talk my wife out of her spot in the garage, which will probably not happen.

Re: Who's Buying An"A"?
There's a good Model A frame and some other bits I may pick up for cheap. The pipe dream is to find a frame, or rolling chassis without a body to start building a speedster.

Re: Front spring decisions
Just a side note, I helped a friend with his springs and we separated the leaf pack and painted each leaf with John Deere graphite paint. They have ZERO squeak and they look great two years and 5000...

Re: Cowl lights
Wait... Does the tail light trick make them come on when you hit the brakes?

Re: Cowl lights
Can you post a picture? My experience with automotive electronics is changing lightbulbs. I can do a head gasket no problem but wires are like Latin to me.

Re: Cleaning Valves... Wire Wheel and/or Acetone
See if you can find a garage or shop or buy your own ultrasonic cleaner. It doesn't remove any material like a wire wheel does and it is not nearly as messy as sand blasting. Do a little research,...

Cowl lights
Has anyone ever modified the light wiring to make the cowl lights come on with the driving lights vs. the stock setting of one or the other? I'm terrible with wires so let's use beginner terms and...

Quick question
I'm asking a dumb question to avoid a dumb mistake. I pulled my starter to remove my steering column. When I put it back on, should the starter gear be out towards the end of the shaft or back on the...

Re: Shipping woes...
It was between two layers of cardboard. The box didn't even say "do not bend" or any thing. I agree that gaskets this large should be shipped with at least a wood backer in the box...

I just received my new modern head gasket fro Brattons and it was bent 90 degrees. One of the steel rings for the cylinders was buckled. They are sending me a new one but it puts me a weekend behind...

If you go, let me know. I'll come along and arrange for a "chase vehicle" with tools, spares, and coolant.

Does anyone produce a zero camber axle that can just be installed in the car?

Re: Radial vs. Bias...
I didn't realize you could adjust the camber on an "A"..... Looks pretty stationary to me.
