Not me, but our friend from Denmark, Per got an NOS multiplate flywheel. That is one lucky find, as I've never heard of such a thing nowdays. It's tough enough to just find a usable multiplate flywheel.

I scored big this year! I received a new fan belt, a leakless water-pump and a refurbished Stewart-Warner horn. All of the gifts were given to me by my children (they know where my priorities are).

We drove our Phaeton yesterday to deliver gifts and then again today to go "over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house" we went. It was pretty cold in the open car -- 20 degrees F, but it was worth it!

Merry Christmas Mike and all.I didn't get any new model A parts but I did try to wear the ones on my A by taking a long ride.I suspect I didn't do much damage as the A has only 5500 miles on it.It sure is fun trying to wear them out.

Looking for a complete rolling chassis for a model A speedster in the New England area if anyone has or knows of one. See you at the barn!

Great! I will try and be there the 8th. What time do the festivities begin at the barn?

I have a rolling 31 chassis, but it has a broken front cross member and I'd like to keep the engine. I may be able to let it go.

No Model A parts arrived, though a gift certificate did. Along with a couple of nice tools - mainly a Starrett micrometer. We went for a local ride with our daughter and granddaughter and put the A away before the rain started!
