I have a 1931 roadster in excellent condition except that the doors are increasingly difficult to close. In speaking to those with some knowledge about roadsters, I'm informed that the bodies tend to spread outward over the years and the door condition then becomes apparent due to misalignment...

So is there no fix for this?

Can a shim be placed under the cowl w/o removing the body? How would it be done? I also have this problem - with both doors - on my 31 deluxe roadster. The doors are out about 1" at the bottom. They still will latch. Is the shim a large rubber washer that is secured by the bolt? Is there any...

Thanks for the laugh...

According to wiper officionados, the K designation is an update of the original wiper motor designed for the 30-31 Ford open cars including the 31 Deluxe Roadster that I own. I checked with MAFCA, Rob Ficken, and Rick Black from MAFCA and they all told me the KSL-230 was the one. At this point...

Are the clamps shown attached to the inside of the windshield frame holding the vacuum hose in place standard? I do not have holes there for attaching these hose clamps.

It is a KSL-230.

Never mind. I had tried mounting the motor with the wiper motor ears BETWEEN the clamps. They are mounted behind the clamps by the nut. Got it now. Thanks for the help everyone.

Tried to mount the motor where indicated. The clamps cannot be tightened due to the curvature of the mounting ears - where the clamp screws go thru. The clamps do not square to each other and thus cannot be tightened. Tried to attach photos but denied due to "missing security token".

These photos are perfect. Thanks so much!

I recently obtained the correct wiper motor for my 1931 Deluxe Roadster. The car came w/o a motor and I am not sure exactly where to locate it on the windshield frame. Is it just where it clears the best? Is there an exact measurement where it should be mounted? There are two (2) snap buttons...

I am in need of a restored 1931 Ford Model A Deluxe Roadster chrome wiper motor. The original motor was a Trico RSX-1 and was replaced in later years with a (redesigned) Trico KSL-230. I would take either. I do not want any motor that has been altered or changed in any way. This is exactly what...

My question regards converting my stock 31 deluxe roadster lights to quartz bulbs. I took the bucket apart and have one (1) bulb inside. I'm assuming that this is correct as I have cowl lights. The reflector is in perfect condition but has a protrusion on the rear where the bulb socket enters...
