We use a material called stickit which is like a pastic welding stick. It is flowed in using an oxy acetelene torch. On the odd occasion we use a tig.

Wrong. We fix heaps of alloy motocross radiators, straightened, and leaks repaired no problem.

Front guards finish too short for a Model A, cowl line is wrong.

The principle is no different to the Ford spring spreader. I have used an aftermarket one a lot with no detriment.

Remember the radio controlled dogs, ducks with gumboots and the 7 wire fence music? Not Fred Dagg but the same Kiwi humour

I have a couple of these blocks , both 3 3/16th 60 thou over, you should have plenty of meat left.

The internal winding of the coil is loose and when you brake the winding swings foward and shorts out on the body of the coil cutting spark to the engine. When you have finished playing around with the carb, change the coil and see what happens.

Great song, I like Neil Youngs version.

The coil could be shorting out, try changing it.

Made a screwdriver by grinding the short end of a 3/8 allen key easy as.

I used a master cylinder from an early 70's Ford Torino. Probably the same as the F100 mentioned above. Drum/ drum worked perfectly. Had residual pressure valved fitted in the master cylinder.

The alignment gear is real easy to use, plenty of info on line, well worth having.
