Re: Tudor rear quarter window-How's that work?
Do any of the screws in the middle of that panel adjust the height or travel of the window, like the one on the front window regulator, or do they just hold the regulator to that panel?

Re: Tudor rear quarter window-How's that work?
Finally getting back to replacing this glass, window regulators, etc., etc. Does the panel that appears to hold the regulator come off by taking off the 6 screws I've highlighted with arrows? Is that...

Re: Airtex E8902 Debacle
Here's how I rigged the one on my '48. I have since replaced the clamps with better ones and the pump pictured with an AIRTEX E8016S. I still intend to install a shutoff valve before the filter. I do...

Source for front splash pan bolts?
Anybody know where I can find the two bolts that connect the grill upright to the front splash pan on my '48 Tudor? I have not been able to find the PNs in the Body Parts book.
Thanks, Dave

Re: Wheels are back from the powder coater
I use these hub nut washers on the wheels on my 48. Not sure if they'd work for yours though. https://www.macsautoparts.com/ford_mercury_early/hub-nut-washer-cupped-stainless-steel-ford-passenger.html

Re: Engine diaper
For me, here's why Wizzernick's diaper idea was a good one: I don't have a garage, and I have a new driveway that I don't want to ruin. I bought a nice big new drip pan, but the wind would blow it...

Re: Engine diaper
Just an update. Have a couple hundred miles on it now and it's stayed in place even after highway speeds over 70. No more oil leaks on the driveway. Now, to resolve that coolant leak . . .

Re: engine photos
A sampling of the more impressive engines on display at last year's Ty-Rods show in MA. Hope it doesn't get cancelled this year like so many other early season events have.

Re: Antifreeze leak
I too have recently noticed I have an anti-freeze leak on my 59-AB. Dripping from the starter. Can't see where it's coming from yet.

This thing only has about 2,000 miles on it. I did my best to seal it up as best I could using all of the advice I could glean from various experts. I'm guessing it's that knife edge on the pan that...

I did steal your idea. I'm sure mine is nowhere as nice as yours though.

Re: Oil return line plugged?
On mine I really have to crank down the lid bolt to keep it from leaking, and I ended up putting two new gaskets on it, instead of one. There is a lot of pressure in there, even with the restriction.
