Re: 32 spindle bolts

Re: Q: 34 Ford 3W which REAR window regulator
Not even close to being the same, neither the regulator nor the glass channel. They're common with those components in a five-window coupe, but that's it. The rear window regulator has but a single...

Re: 1932 frame horn covers
I believe that they were a short-lived early version given the apparent scarcity of surviving examples, although they have shown up on both U.S. and European '32s. My favorite, which I believe to be...

Re: 1932 frame horn covers
Not surprisingly, the more I look at the photos courtesy of Uncle Buck, the more that I see that does not ring true. Note the placement of the two holes for the bumper bracket bolts which is unlike...

Re: 1932 frame horn covers

Re: 1932 frame horn covers
If so, those are not one of the six known versions of the originals. i.e. they are reproductions as none of the six had oval holes where the cover attached to the rear fender. Originals have only...

Re: 1932 frame horn covers
This sounds like a straightforward question that should have a straightforward answer, but '32 frame horn covers are anything but straightforward as there are six distinctly different versions of the...

Re: 1932 Ford Clutch Adjustment
The original starting point is with the pedal at rest against the rubber bumper on the underside of the lower steel #1 floorboard plate as Terry indicates.
