German V8 flathead ( Ford Keulen ) has a cast crank pulley for three belts.

Is there a difference between 59 & 8BA torque specs.

Heres mine. Also those four holes can be used for making your own engine stand if you have no waterpumps fitted.

Flywheel has,nt been used after the polishing. That blueish colour is thin coat of hamerite to protect from surface rust where there is no contact from the disc. Lots of good answers from everyone, thanks.

G'day Mart, I,ve just checked a few of my other flywheels and they are pretty much all the same depth where the four bolts go. No drastic differences. I believe Cadillac512 has the answer. Those raised edges around the springs are almost tight against the small circle. The springs are even a...

I can,t flip the clutch disc as the centre boss /spline protrudes at least a half inch more on the other side. I suppose i could use self-locking flywheel bolts as they have a smaller head ( no holes for the wire ) so my main concern is why is it a tight fit in the flywheel hole ?

For my 99 Merc flathead i have a re-surfaced flywheel and new clutch plate. I think the springs in the clutchplate are to high. They are almost touching the four flywheel bolts. Then there is the issue of the edge of the springs just fitting inside the circle where the flywheel bolts are. Maybe...

Don,t forget the drums with the ribs look racy too

Things must work beter over here. Posted a large parcel with two headlights Monday afternoon 5 PM to a guy in Wales, UK and he recieved it Friday 9.15 AM.

That,s a idea. Speed bumps are getting higher too ;).

G'day Mart. That,s the one :). It was an American import. Must have been at least 25 years ago. Car became a street-rod and ARP conversion parts went to Skandinavia. All long gone but just recently found it while doing the Covid-19 clean-up:(. Still can,t figure out why anyone would have...

This oilpan protector was under a 1937 Ford sedan. Original or special made ?

Found in my pile of flathead parts, cleaned them up but what are they ? Part A screws together with the round grooved steel piece that jigles around when put inside. Part C has a adjustable thread with one end of the thread being concave.( does the thread belong in there ) B,C,D,E, do not fit...

^^^^^^ It was sales tax, i went and read all the small letters and they have it covered real good. With the fees on top of everything including PayPal the fun is gone. Back to local swapmeets and PreWarCar for selling in Europe.

I had,nt sold anything on Ebay for quite a while until about 2 months ago. Then on a whim i posted a nice 1934 style Citroen grille on Ebay U.S.A. End price was much higher than i would ever get here but i was hit for about $55 sales tax. ( did ebay scam me ) Did,nt know that the buyer would...
