Re: What to spray onto metel immeditely after removing rust?

I saw: fellow Model A guy keeps a garden sprayer with diluted Ospho in it. When he cleans up a rusted part he sprays a thin coat on and lets it dry. Rust: zero after years of sitting in the corner of...

Re: Running board, what am I missing?

Re: I was thinking of changing to 12 volt negative ground.

Tom's article on rewiring the horn is excellent, as are all of his writings! I'd add that using the 12v dropping resistor is a quick and dirty fix that can be used temporarily until the horn is...

Re: Decided against turn signals.....what about this idea?

I have added turn signals on my '29 Tudor. Sitting in the driver's seat, you can see the controller on the side of the steering column. There is NOTHING on the outside of the car that isn't on the...

Re: Measurement of frame sag

Ken Parker and I measured my A this way:


Clamped a block of wood under the frame at one end, a second (same dimensions!) under the frame at the other end.


Stretched a string line under the...

Re: Adding turn signals

The headlights on my car use the two-bulb headlight cans. The second socket is a dual filament socket which I use for park/turn lights. I use an amber bulb for the turn/park lights with LED tail ...

Re: Garage lights

That type would have to fall into the "cheap" category. May be producing PSW but with unreliable frequency.... yuck!

Re: Garage lights

The LED bulbs that are intended to replace an equivalent incandescent all have electronics in the base to do that conversion.

Re: Garage lights

Be careful here!



LED bulbs are made to simply replace an existing fluorescent with no rewiring needed, and others are made which REQUIRE rewiring. The two kinds are NOT interchangeable AFAIK.

Re: Garage lights

If a generator is cheap, in all likelihood it has a "modified sine wave" inverter, and a LOT of electronics have trouble with that. LED products are a significant example. There have been many RV...

Re: U-haul open trailer

I towed my Tudor on a U-Haul car carrier from Denver to East Texas when I bought it. Taped cardboard onto the radiator and front glass parts. Towed with an F150 pickup. Took a rock to the windshield...

Re: What kind of glue for running board mat?

I am incredulous at all of the information and procedures and warnings and .... when the self-sticking mat from the Model A vendors is essentially fool-proof!
