Re: Brent Terry Model A restorations

Yeah, I found it difficult to get ahold of him after he stole my gas tank. Months of radio silence between replies.

After something like a year and a half, I finally bugged him enough to get a...

Engine ID - check my math

Picked up this pile of parts for super cheap. I think I see some T parts mixed in, so I don't know if these V8 parts ever went together or if this was a pile of leftovers.

Based on my research,...

Re: block crack

If that's junk, I suspect a lot of us are running junk.

Re: Coming Soon the 64th Long Beach Model T Club Swap Meet

I'll be there, looking for A and early V8 parts.

I take my motorcycle to force myself to shop smart. If I had my truck, I'd clean the place out.

'29 CCPU seat shopping - what do I need?

I'm in the market for a seat for my 1929 Closed Cab Pickup. This is what I'm working with.

I want to stay stock, so no minivan or S-10 or anything else. I've mentally swallowed the pill for the...

Re: Sometimes I get tired of it

As an engineer, I get tired of... anti-science personal anecdotes.



Your sample size of a single failure doesn't discredit the rest of us who have used the process successfully.

Re: Help. What size gear shift knob insert do I need?

Determine the thread of your later knob. The A thread is 5/16-24.

You might even get lucky and buy a standard thread insert that matches both, yours on the outside and 5/16-24 on the inside.

Re: Spring bolt

So, what's the deal with the current suppliers center bolts? Their recommended lengths are about 2-3 inches too long. The nut bottoms out before it even sandwiches the leafs.

Re: I.D. Plate?

Re: Shackle bushing reamer use

I just replaced the shackle bushings in my front end. Sure as can be, I don't even need to use the nice reamer I just bought. They're so loose and sloppy, it's offensive. They're worse than the worn...

Re: 1/2 @$$ fix

Just had him do mine a month ago. I "waited" at the Irwindale Mooneyes show for a couple hours. Came back and my brakes were done. Installed them last week.

A heck of a bargain.

Re: Les Andrews: Trimming of Motor Mount Rubber

I did not have to do any trimming on the rubbers from Mikes that I just installed. It was a snug fit, but felt good to me.

Re: Hey, I was wondering (Carburetors)

Just playing Bernoullis advocate here, but increasing the venturi diameter would lower the speed of the air passing through it. It would increase volume, though.

So, how do you want to experiment...
