Thanks all for the advice, fingers crossed it can be resolved through the inspection cover;) Mick:cool:

I did adjust the clutch free travel a couple of months ago to stop it grinding into gear, could I just adjust it back? Have you experienced this problem or seen it before? Mick

Re: Clutch pedal not returning / Problem now worse Well finally got under the car and the spring looked fine, greased the pivot points and thought it might "free up" driving. Got the car out and went for a drive, steered it up the two biggest hills in town and the clutch seemed fine (no...

Hi guy's, had my 36 Fordor out today to give it a run and it started fine and got through the town traffic fine as I drove out to a friends farm just out of town (10miles or so) Anyway on my way back in the first time I changed down the clutch pedal didn't come all the way up so I used the top...

Bruce, Am aware of the two adjustment points (upper and lower) from what I've found the upper are for minor adjustments and upper and lower for major adjustments e.g. brake reline. Is this right? Think I'll back them off to see if it stops rubbing and pop the hub, repack the bearing just to...

Did a round trip of 120 miles saturday, stopped for petrol about 30 miles from home and when I slowed down near the bowser there was a scrapping noise from my back wheel on one side. I felt the brake drum and it was hot, when I took off again I could hear it, almost like a brake shoe...

When I got my 36 Ford it came with a crank handle, never worried about it as the car was converted to 12 volts and has been reliable. Anyway I've been thinking I'd like to know how to crank start it so I can say I know how to do it but I remember stories my old dad used to tell me about how he...

Don, My Ford does have the wood grained dash and is a touring sedan,looks like Ford sold the same model differently in other markets other than the USA. Thanks for the look at the Canadian brochure it was very interesting.;) Dave G Why did Canada market Fords differently? Mick

Thanks for the replies guy's, so while not that common they were a genuine accessory:) Mick:cool:

This was on my 36 when I brought it eight years ago, I have seen the leaping greyhound on 33 and 34 Fords and the guy I got my 36 from was adament they were for 36's as well. Anyway at all the events I've been to I haven't seen another one on a 36, was it an accessory or just the previous...

Am familiar with the old style Barsleaks (Pellet type) and saw the new copper sealer 1109 on their website. It looked VERY sludge like going in when they show the demo video clip on the website and it worried me it might block things it shouldn't. I'd have to buy it from the USA as 1109 isn't...

Ok just when things where humming along my 36 has developed a minor leak in the top radiator tank:mad::mad: I know that the right thing to do is pull it out but at the moment time is against me. Have found this on the Barsleaks site, as a temporary fix has anyone run this, if so any problems and...

Ok guys I've had the radiator in and out a few times over the years in my 36 and the worse part is fitting the bottom radiator hoses. Well I've redone the top hoses and thought the bottom were fine but...........there were some telltale drips of coolant coming from one hose this morning so I...

Have got a set of new Edelbrock heads for the 39 Mercury engine in my 36, also the longer studs and new head nuts. Should I have any concerns about changing the studs over, my engine was rebuilt (previous owner) and I assume these are the original studs. Just worried that I might snap off the...

Thanks Jim, I'm happy with the 39 Mercury in my 36, Edelbrock heads and electronic dissy for reliable spark. I like the look of the slingshot just wanted to know how streetable they are and you've answered that.My racing days are over (almost) at my age I've got nothing to prove and I like to...
