Default Instructions

I bought a Flathead Ted basic front wheel Kit and have misplaced (LOST) the instructions. Searched his site to no avail. Hate to just blunder on so wondering if anyone has a cure for this? Also, I bought the de luxe kit for another machine and though I do have the instructions they seem rather vague. Is this just me of are some things overlooked? I did try a search and didn't come up with anything constructive.
Dave McArthur

THANKS FOR ANY AND ALL HELP.

Dave,
I've read several times, about their POOR instructions. VAGUE is a good description.

This video seems to go with the Snyders instructions even tho it is labeled "1935 Ford V8".
Most of it seems to relate to Model A brakes ...

Best thing I did was purchase the video that the Diablo Model A Ford club made. You can purchase it from Snyders or brattons Autique Auto. Then you throw the instructions that came with floaters away. Dave

I've NOT done Teds' Floaters, but they sound like a good way to gain the "SELF ENERGIZING effect.
