Resurrecting this older thread. My father is restoring his '38 Tudor Deluxe and is working on this same shelf. Does someone have a drawing or a picture? If you see this 'fordscript', we would love a photo. Anything would be helpful. Thank you very much.

Thanks all. Love this FordBarn. We're fixing the sector seal now and then we're thinking about trying that 'corn head' grease since there's a John Deere dealer right down the road. Much obliged.

I've been all over the net trying to find the proper lube for a 1938 Ford Tudor Deluxe steering box. Mostly I get opinions and what's best, but nothing as specified by Henry. Whether the stock lube is what we go with is one thing, but we'd like to know what's correct. A lot of guys say to use...

Thank you Neal. That help a lot.

How do you adjust the slack out of the steering of a '38 Tudor Deluxe? My Dad says he used to do all the time in the late forties, but can't remember how. Any help is mucho appreciated.

I have the same problem with our 1938 tudor deluxe. Despite all the previous guesses, does anybody actually know the answer? The '38 is not the same as a '39. A shoulder bolt would make sense, but I haven't got a picture to verify. Any real help would be appreciated. We're trying to stay stock...

You can't turn that gauge around on a '38 unless you are talking about something inside the gauge. Just reversing the direction of the wire seems to be the consesus. I don't know about you, but I hate having anything on a car that doesn't work. Besides, this is my Dad's car and he wants the...

The car is stock. My Dad said he wanted the negative ground so that when it needed to be charged or jumped, whoever might be doing it, wouldn't mess it up. We had the voltage regulator rebuilt for the negative ground.

If there are still some of those bolts around, I think I'll try to find a couple. Always best to put it back the way it was if you can. Thanks for all the posts. This place is the best.

Thanks guys. We'll do it tomorrow. Nice to have an 'easy' one for a change.

That's what we were thinkin' but I didn't want to do it and find out we shouldn't have.

Thanks John, I did notice the one at the column clamp as well. This car will be a nice driver. But out of curiosity, how would one replace the security bolt now-a-days?

Gentlemen, My Dad reversed the ground on his 1938 Tudor Deluxe. Now the gauge reads discharge when it's charging. Is the solution as easy as just running the wire the other way on the gauge? Thanks for any and all help.

Mahalo! We were thinking that would be an option but were hoping against it. I guess I'll pull out the Dremel. Thanks again. Aloha

Gentlemen, I'm helping my Dad restore his '38 Tudor Deluxe. We want to replace the rubber gasket between the dash and the ignition lock/column mount. The mount has two bolts holding it to the dash. One is a standard hex head bolt and washer, the other side (toward the passenger) is a bolt but...
