Hi Phil , yep that’s where mine came from , via Ajays

Thanks for your reply Mac . My reason for asking is I have just received a detent spring and ball kit from a local supplier here in NZ which according to the label came from a well known supplier in the US . It had 3/8 balls and as you would know they are loose in the bore where they fit ...

I just put up a post asking for detent ball size , did a search and found this post by 21 stud . You have answered my question . I have a detent spring and ball kit with small 3/8 balls which are loose in the housing bore and allow the shaft to move back and forth . The only way to stop this...

Hi , I have 1 brace with the inner end bolted to the chassis , on the other side of car it is mounted up higher where the main fender and inner fender join. Which is correct ? Photos ?

Thanks for your replies, have reused some good ones.used Locktite to hold them because the shoulder had been removed to get them out . Will try and obtain some nos B1118 or 48 1118 . Lead foot thanks for the tip on the front bolts

I need some rear hub bolts fo my 34 . My local supplier has sent me bolts listed as suitable for1928 to 1935 , they are approx 1/4 shorter than my originals ( 1 5/8 ) . I have checked online with other suppliers , they list the same . Are the correct length bolts available ?

One side done , one to go , then the Model A
