I'm now installing the headlights on my 1930 project. I had no original conduit or socket parts on the car so had to get replacement parts. The problem is that the conduit connector is not locking onto the headlight socket. Out of frustration I very slightly filed down the end of the socket...

Thank you everyone for the help.. turns out the generator is bad... or at least that's part of it. As for the ammeter reading backwards, I'm just going to switch wiring on the back of it.

will mal-adjustment of the third brush on the generator cause a showing of a discharge on the ammeter? When I tested across the battery terminals with the car running it shows a charge, not a discharge. Ammeter gauge is wired correctly, or at least the yellow wire goes on the left side of the...

I know this is an old post but hopefully you can answer my question. The base of your drip rail looks like mine. When I removed the drip rail to replace the top I forgot to take pictures of how it fit. Now that I'm replacing it, the drip rail seems to want to fit in the upper groove of the...

Thank you, I will be sure to check that.

Probably not... ;)

I figured it out. I actually feel a little foolish once I got in to it. The procedure was to simply remove the three mounting bolts on both sides starting at the front of the vehicle and also removing the two carriage bolts that are between the first and second mounting bolts. I then put a...

I need to remove the front fenders on my 30 Tudor to repair and paint them. I know where the general mounting bolts are at along the frame per the service and repair manual, but there appears to be more bolts like the seat mounting hardware and maybe some others that don't show in the manual...

No, I just failed to take pictures back when I took it off. Not smart.

Wow, for the distance it will need to travel it looks like it will take a 40lb sledge hammer with an over the head swing.... :) It's a push just to get it to the "B" diagram level.

I'm attempting to reinstall the steel rain gutter on my '30 Tudor. My question is, does the gutter part itself fit over the top of the mounting bracket or inside the top groove of the bracket? I've attached a poor end view sketch hoping it will help make sense to my question. Please don't...

Sorry so late in reply but thank you!

Has anyone found an easy/good way to connect a new headlight inner ring to the headlight housing without spot welding? Is it possible to solder them on? Maybe a better question is.... does anyone know where to get the the inner rings? Or is there another solution to the ring?

Has anyone replaced the inner headlight ring that is spot welded onto the headlight housing? I have a set of headlights for my '30 tudor with great rings but the housings are not good, and a set of housings with rotted rings.. I'd like to switch the rings to the good housings. I don't think...

Thank you for the quick reply... it saves me from ruining a regulator arm trying to make the wheel turn!
