Re: 1932 Ford Subrail Frame Extensions

Brookville has two different part numbers for subrail extensions, one for their roadster and one for their 3-window coupe. So apparently they differ somehow. The Brookville 3-window one which I...

Re: Cleaning out my cams

Taking inventory of my cams, I ran across a NOS Wolverine #933. Seems like a pretty useless grind with 280/268 duration and 52 degrees overlap with only a .320 inch lift.

Re: Help me ID this generator

I agree with piston broke, that unit is an attempt to run a 2-brush generator with a fan mount pulley. The case and rear plate are 40-53.

Re: Paint color for 32 Tudor belt rail panel (dash)

Re: Paint color for 32 Tudor belt rail panel (dash)

I looked at the backside of my Tudor's well-preserved dash and door window moldings to get an idea of the correct color. All three pieces had noticeably different colors ranging from very grey to...

Re: ’32 Fuel / air line AKA saimesed / bundy tubing

That is the correct number to reach Mike. I spoke with him a few days ago and he still makes the fuel/air line.

Re: 1932 Tudor rear body to frame rubber pads

Was the this late spring-bolt arrangement also used for sedans? The drawing only specifies its use in 2-place body styles.

David, not sure I understand your point. When I first stripped my Tudor in 1964 or so, it had red oxide colored primer that was a bit hard to remove by chemical stripping. I assumed it was...

Re: Keep or patch hole in front fender?

Check to see if the "missing hole" on the passenger side is the result of prior metalwork. If not maybe it is a 32 fender. The 32 fenders look similar but have the mounting holes in a different...

Re: Added LED lights to my '35 Fordor - wow!

How sensitive is the "motion sensing" of that third brake light? Does it come on if you just take you foot off the gas or only when braking? Did you get it from LEDlights.com?

Re: fan change 39 /44?

Coop,
