Default Re: What did you do working on you Model A today

I installed a "Steering Housing End Plate with Tube" http://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/st...sing-end-plate to (hopefully) stop the steering box oil from filling up my light switch. That turned out to be a fun job. Somewhere in the past, someone installed a freeze plug in the end of the steering box to prevent it from leaking. Then they proceeded to drill a hole in the freeze plug for the horn rod to pass thru, defeating the purpose of the freeze plug... I had to remove the drivers side engine pan so I could use my slide hammer to remove the freeze plug.

Also while I had the engine pans out and was under the car I tapped the frame where the engine pans mount to make it a one man job to R&R them next time.

All back together and Hot Damn, no leak (so far).
