Cheers! Stoked you are enjoying yours so much. To be honest I never thought I'd get this excited about a relatively stock banger powered car. Its coming across with a really cool full fendered traditional styled chopped 3W 33 Coupe and I more excited about the A

For my Model A I find that NAPA has the best original style points. The condensers you can get from the major suppliers, like Bratton's. Make sure that it is "burn-out proof." The best ones are made by A&L. I would ask the seller. He can point you toward the parts that will fit and work well. Maybe he can source them and stick them in a box in the car. Ken

Re: My 1st Model A (non Hotrod)
In the late 1950's I was stationed at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, and on the weekends would tour the many Shrines in the Southern Honshu area on a small motorcycle. Motorcycles and bicycles were the main mode for transportation, other than
the local taxi's back then. It would be a blast to tour that same area in a Model A. I know you will really enjoy your A. Best wishes, John

Cheers John, ironically I still do the same, touring etc on a Honda Cub Have a couple but my CT110 is my favourite at the moment. What a lot of folks dont know about Japan is how much of it is rural and forest which is the case where I live. Really looking forward to do cruising some of it with my wife in the A

Re: My 1st Model A (non Hotrod)
Best of luck with it - my first one as well and I can say after decades of performance, sports, and other vehicles on both sides of the pond, my 1930 Tudor gets more smiles per mile than almost any of them. Parts at least stateside are also some of the easiest to come by.
