Re: Coil Tester needed
Hello KR500, I would be thrilled to get an instruction sheet and schematic for my vintage Snap-On MT-640 coil & condenser tester. When were these built?

Re: 30/31 coupe seat frame
Hello Guys, I know this is an old thread, but it appears the answer was deleted. Does anyone know how the upholstery material is attached to the back rest frame of an early 30 coupe? Thanks, Kyle
