Thanks Mark, The parts package sounds good. Composite shoes, I will check them out, sounds interesting. I must have left out I took the washer out of the radius ball as I couldn't get the nuts on far enough without totally collapsing the springs. I just took the washer out and used two new...

Hey Guys, Now to make my 30 coupe even more safe and fun. I sometimes have to use the emergency brake to get a good quick stop. I need to fix my brakes. I would like to start with the front two first or should I plan on doing all 4 at the same time? Adjustment sake.... What are the...

Re: Radius Ball Update Hey Guys, I put the radius ball back together using what was there except I used new springs on the sides. The old ones appeared a bit soft and skewed. I just got back from a 20 mile road trip. I noticed that the steering wheel was tighter and it didn't even wobble...

I think your right. I made sure the sleeves were through the bottom cap so I know there is no binding there. I think Iwill make me a magnetic video capture camera so I can look at all the wobbling going on as it happens underneth while I am driving. I didn't order new caps and probably should...

Hey guys, I just got my parts in from Mike's. I ordered one of those radius ball washers. Installed it. But.... To get the cotter pins back into the castle nuts I would have to compress the springs which I know ain't right. What am I missing here? My radius ball looks pretty round. What...

Hello Everyone, I parked in front of my shop which has an incline. Not a big incline maybe 5 to 7 degrees. I let it stay there for a couple of hours. When I moved on into the shop I noticed a oil leak about 2 foot long. Kind of like a tear drop. My guess is my back main bearing seal is...

I did one that the model a person and their car was about 50 to 100 feet away from two upright sticks. The driver told the guys with the sticks to move them in until he said stop. The idea was to see who could guess how close they could get through the sticks with out touching them. I won that...

Hello Everyone, I got past my muffler falling off problem. I now want to stop the wobbling back and forth of the front tires. I had my wife move the steering wheel back and forth. The radius ball cup is loose and moving so I am going to take it off and look at how to fix this. My concern...

I would try to isolate the starter. I would put the car in neutral with the parking brake on, get some jumper cables, red to positive to the battery with red to the engine block somewhere, black to negative to the battery and then black to the starter post. If it cranks then the starter is...

I bought the car sometime ago when I had a job. I got laid off in 2007 and it sat for the last 3 years. This past week my wife lost her job of 35 years. So it's like I am trying to enjoy the A on a shoestring budget. Life is not all roses and mufflers for some folks. I think if I follow the...

Hey guys, I was driving around and my muffler fell off up by the manifold. It seems that it would be a good idea to put a strap or hanger up there by the manifold so the muffler dosen't hit the ground and drag. Do any of you do this? I know it needs to stay in place in the first place. I...

Neat story, I have been so fortunate aviation wise. I got to fly in a couple P 51 Mustangs, Actually got to fly one of them, I got to fly in a F4U Corsair, T28, Areobatics in a AT 6 Texan, Same in a Extra 300, Several more. I even got to catch a ride in the Les Shockly jet powered...

Hey Guys, I was out driving my car yesterday without the bottom floor board in so I could watch the battery I installed. Of course all the heat was coming up into the cab. However I did notice on the running board over by the muffler the paint had bubbled. I think it is from the muffler...

I keep my car in Bentonville AR. I drive it around there. There are lots of different places to drive there. Neighborhoods, close towns, and a cool town square. On Friday nights during the summer I plan on driving my 30 coupe to the square and take my guitar. They get together in small...
