Hey guys, I need 59A .030 under con rod bearings. Original Ford part number 99T-6211-Q, that's for a 39-48 crankshaft. If you haven't got a set to sell, I would also appreciate if you knew the Clevite, King, or other major brand part numbers for this bearing. I'm having more difficulties...

It's a swell show. A lot of great looking cars. And the best thing about it... no Chevys.

Well, master cylinders are easy to take apart. You should probably take the piston out (keeping track of the order the parts come out) and clean it thoroughly. Cleaning it with brake cleaner should be fine. Reassemble it dry if you are using it soon.

Thanks again Miguel, everybody had a great time. The other sellers were great too.

I was there last week, I'll be back.

Pico Wheel Service in Van Nuys can do it... if you happen to live in the LA area.

I'm putting a pair of '40 shocks on different car, but I didn't pull them. So I'm not sure how they mount. Is it like the first pic, bolts at a 45º or 60º? Or are they horizontal. 1939/40 owners please chime in. Secondly, what kind of fluid can I top them off with that isn't too hard to...

Lets face it, the low demand for tire tubes has left Coker selling 90% (probably) of the tubes to collector car owners. Even at $26 or $14.95 each, that price isn't too too bad, considering. I'm not playing devil's advocate here. Yes I'd love to go down to Firestone a few blocks away (on La...

In regards to that hole on the left of the data plate. My 29 roadster has something similar, with a brass push in plug. Let see if I have a picture... Sorry, no close up at this time. But you can sort of see it in this photo. By the way, I replaced the missing data tag with a home-made VIN...

I've been using a reproduction 37-39 standard (not the deluxe) Ford wheel for a while, with about a thousand miles now on it. I never painted it and the rim has gone from a flat-black to a semi-gloss. While the spokes have remained flat due to the fact I don't hold the wheel by the spokes...

I think it's obvious to most people a 28/29 roadster is more common then a 30/31. That most certainly is true of RPUs as well. Supply & demand may be driving the cost difference too. Fewer 30/31s = price goes up. So I'll agree with your side of the argument.

Currently I have two 29 roadsters (and a model T I'm build'n). As a matter of fact, I've never owned an antique ford that wasn't a roadster.

In the future, if the seller can't provide you with a picture, don't buy it. It is 2011 for goodness sake! Everybody should have a digital camera now.

None of Mac's screw kits have instructions. I've bought them before, used the kit, and I'm left wondering where the left-over screws should have gone.

Well, I'm now a believer! I'd be willing to bet those wheels were on some sort of commercial vehicle. But who really knows anymore. I have a pair of 16x5 wide-5 on the rear of my racer, it took a lot of my patience in order to acquire them. I finally found a pair on a South Dakota farm...
