Re: Station wagon wood

Go to Jamestown Distributors website. I found a lot of info on products there. I am re-finishing parts on my Huckster and am using Total Boat Gleam marine spar varnish. So far so good.

Re: Late 31 oil pump shield?

I bought several from Model A Medic that fits the earlier trays. I would assume it has been trimmed. They fit fine.

Re: Mod a water neck for gage

Not sure about yours but my water outlet is plenty thick enough to drill and tap for a pipe thread. I have done several and none have leaked.

Re: Bad Stud thread

Here it is in it's current state. I will take a plastic razor blade and trim the blue sealant off after it sets up around the water neck. It just looks better.

Re: Bad Stud thread

If I didn't have another one I would have given it a couple of coats of copper spray and re-used it. Heck, I have even used aluminum spray paint successfully. I did keep it just in case.

Re: Bad Stud thread

I figured since I had another gasket I would go ahead and use it. Looks like I was successful on my 2nd time.
