Re: window crank trick

I had to cut a little bit off of the spring. I think it was one coil of the spring. After that it went together fine and I've not had any problems with it .

Re: Where did the bolt go...??

Just a thought,but maybe you could go to a tool and equipment rental store and rent one of those inspection cameras. Good luck

Re: Starter motor fuse?

A battery disconnect switch is money well spent. Put it in the cab under your feet for quick access. I just bought one from Bratton's and it was about $25

Re: Firestone Tires rubbing service brake rod

I put Firestones on my 30 coupe and they rub the same way. I just kinda learned to live with it. Can't wait to look at Bratton's diagram. Good info here!

Re: Dischareing

I had the same thing happen recently. My problem was the cut-out was faulty. You might try to use a jumper wire to by-pass the cut-out and then start the car to see if it's charging.
