England calling
Hi, I am new to this site, so apologies if this is already covered somewhere
Just bought a UK built 1938 Ford 62 with a view to modifying and entering the 2016 Peking to Paris rally. This is about 12000km and a lot in desert and rough track. I have no experience of the suspension and shocks on this car and wonder if they need adapting for this drive. Is the system relatively strong . We plan to leave the rod brakes, but are looking at possibly adding a Telmet transmission possibly... Any thoughts ? The car has been adapted already by some previous owner and has a French flathead v8 . We beleive the waterimps are a weakness , but otherwise OK. So Many questions, hope someone can help Richard |

Re: England calling
Are you based in the UK?
If so get in touch with Jim at Royal Kustoms http://www.royalkustoms.co.uk/ He is a flathead expert but operates an all round build/fabrication shop that helped prepare a 40 Ford for the peking to paris last year. |
