Re: Narrow V8 Rear Axle
He has about a dozen threads spread over the Fordbarn and the HAMB asking how to solve this “problem”, but refuses to post a pic to show how bad it really is. I can’t fathom how guys have been...

Re: Narrow V8 Rear Axle
Are you aware you can’t fit old Ford wires to modern brakes without a thick adapter? The wheel has an outer mounting flange that hits the drum of a modern brake. That’s why we use the 40-48 year...

Re: 1932 Ford Three Window Body Tag
There was a thread with a “registry” of 32 3-windows body numbers. I can’t remember if it was here or on the HAMB. Had a surprising number of bodies submitted.

Re: Leaking Head Studs
Many references to guys retapping the stud holes to “clean” them when rebuilding engines. But the holes are built with a tighter tolerance than the taps used, and are as such opened up too much. A...

Re: Waterpumps with smooth pulleys
Don’t confuse the 59A stuff with the 8BA stuff (you say “up to 50”). Big changes in 1949, and more variety of pulley, castings, and belts.

Re: rear drum studs
You mean a drum/hub assembly, not a reproduction drum, right? And, the studs you found were the same length as original, not something a parts book jockey handed to you, right?

Rumbleseat trick of regreasing a throwout bearing?
Years ago I read in Rumbleseat’s tips how he would drill a small hole in the outer radius of an old-but-good throwout bearing to add more grease. He said he would then screw a small screw into the...

Re: 42 Ford Sedan Radius Rod
The front tires look rather big. Maybe they are causing the darting. Extra scrub. Double-check your toe in too.

Re: 46-48 front drum replacement, or??

Re: dual master cylinder
Nothing normal about that in an early Ford. He can get where he needs to be with simple parts and maybe some small adapters. No need for big fabrication.

Re: Closed drive shaft
Much simpler to change a few parts in the transmission with wrenches than to rework the X member and rear suspension with saws and welders.

Re: dual master cylinder
Roadster Supply now has a dual master with the three bolt flange that mounts right to a stock old Ford bracket. Can’t tell you if you’ll need to modify the opening in your floor though.
