Re: 1928-29 phaeton front lap belts

Hi Shane
PM me your info and I can tell you my story. I have a 28 Phaeton with two belts in rear, and one in front. Not ideal, but useable.

Re: Noise probably due to water pump.

See if you can take hold of one fan blade and wiggle the fan on the shaft. Sometimes the fan and shaft taper don’t match.

Re: Help!! Flathead Ted Floater Kit Problems

I guess I didn’t really answer your question. I’m not sure what to do with the top adjuster while holding the brake and tightening the anchor bolt. I’ll look for my instructions and see if it’s...

A notched stick hold the brake pedal down if you don’t have a second person.

Re: Help!! Flathead Ted Floater Kit Problems

I’d have to find my FHT instructions, but I believe I held the brake pedal down with the anchor bolt loose, then tightened it. This centers the shoes and locks them there.

Re: Help!! Flathead Ted Floater Kit Problems

Don’t know about one being higher than the other. Did you center the shoes by applying the brakes and then tightening the lower anchor bolt?

Re: Help!! Flathead Ted Floater Kit Problems

Hi Josef
Welcome to Ford Barn.
I installed FHT kit a few year’s ago. No problems in 15000 miles. I would try to find which wheel is locking by driving on a gravel area and applying the brakes....

Re: What can you do with a shop press?

Sometimes the cylindrical pieces needed to press bushings in or out are my sockets.

Re: Phaeton Top Problem

Another thing that I’ve suspected of causing this on my A is that the driver side stanchion is slightly bent rearward more than the passenger side about 5/16”which would tilt the bow downward on the...

On my 28 there is a sort of locking device made into the the ends of the bows where the thumb screw tightens. There’s a protruded vee on one side and a matching groove on the opposite side so...

Re: Pressurized Radiator

Hi John
I don’t know about pressuring your system, but I had the same problem as you. I would have to add a qt or more water every time I stopped. Our club tech guy said to add a 160 degree...

Re: 1928 Phaeton curtain pan hinges.

Bick
Took me awhile to get to the garage. My hinges don’t look like the ones shown by others on this thread. The car was restored around 1955, so th hinges may not be original.

Re: 1928 Phaeton curtain pan hinges.

Hi Bick
I have a September 22 firewall stamp and my 28 has the under-floor pan. I will get to my garage tomorrow and take photos. Do you want anything besides hinges?

Question about 28 phaeton top bow

Hi all,
I am working on the top bows for my 28 Phaeton. My question is about the second bow back, the one just behind the driver's head. There is a slight hump or curve in one edge of the wood part...

Re: Need Help -Front Irons & Bow for 28 Mod A Phaeton

Thanks Jim.

I got the iron off and cleaned out - that chalk-like material was IN THERE. Still considering what to do. I may be able to repair this one, but I'm not sure I'll trust it. I may...

Re: Need Help -Front Irons & Bow for 28 Mod A Phaeton

I think I found the above universal top bow set at Mike's. I guess a question I have is - Is the header piece across the front the same for a Roadster as a Phaeton?

Re: Need Help -Front Irons & Bow for 28 Mod A Phaeton
