Re: 34 Phaeton Top Irons
If you don't mind sharing, I'd be curious to know how much that cost, and how long ago it was.
I have a 36' top that will need plating, but I'm dreading the chrome bill. I'd expect at least...

Re: Max Speed of a Model A in Stock Form

Re: Winfield Tool KRW Hub Puller
Thanks for fixing the link.
I’ve used this for 15 years, in the garage and on the side of the road. It’s worked perfectly every time. With these type of pullers, it’s the impact of the hammer...

Re: Winfield Tool KRW Hub Puller
Mitchell Manufacturing makes one as well. It works well, and on both styles of hubs, indented ring or protruding ring.

Re: Charging 6 volt Battery
I charge the battery in the car, no matter how the battery is connected. I don’t charge the car.
Positive terminal to the positive battery terminal, negative to negative.

I’ve said this same thing before and was immediately dismissed and attacked by the “experts”. The oil grooves are not needed.
A lot of industrial engines run splash oiling, have higher...

You guys have more time than I do. I just don’t answer if I don’t recognize the number. That’s what voicemail I’d for.

Re: Mode A Piston expander/ knurling tool to Buy
I actually, fully understand knurling, but you personally don’t know me, so I’ll assume you are not talking to me directly. Knurling is outdated technology from the time when new pistons were of...

Re: Mode A Piston expander/ knurling tool to Buy
Don’t use these tools, it’s simply a bandaid tool. Like saw dust in the rear end.
Get a new piston or set of pistons, ball hone the cylinders and put it together. Pistons are relatively cheap,...

I don’t see how you are wrong. There are two holes on each side in the cabs for the A and AA frame as you stated earlier. The A frame only has holes for the outside holes.

Re: commercial color list for 1929
Here's a picture from a year or two ago, but the last time it was in the sun. It's more complete now, but buried in the garage. The splash apron is black to give you contrast to the blue.
