For comfort sake I would like to change the pedal angle but don't know if I can heat and bend or have to cold bend the pedal arm, which is safest way to go? Thanks.

I used a heat gun, small putty knife and box cutter blade. Worked great.

I suppose my first step should be to do a thorough lapping job and see whats what. I wanted to be prepared with a slightly bigger valve just in case. Thanks for the response.

One of the exhaust valve seats is mildly messed up, there appears to be less than a necessity for a new seat installation but more than a simple lapping can correct. I am wondering if there is a direct replacement valve available that has a slightly larger diameter head but will have all the...

Unfortunately the math does add up, I could buy restored Model A's all day for less than $20,000 but well done hotrods are $20,000 and up.

Oddly enough my 31 Tudor has a hole on the right side as well, previous owner had put in an adjustable vacuum switch for the passenger side wiper motor. It looks like it belongs there.

I have been watching the progress on the no-start problem as I have the same situation, the answer soon would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I used a heat gun and a sharp blade to strip it out.

Looks good! I'm just starting mine...just wondering, what did you find to be the hardest part of installing the interior kit?

I'm at the same point as you with the same Lee Chatterton kit for my '31 right now. Just went up to the fabric store and got some burlap. All I need now is to find some reasonably priced hog ring pliers I'm only going to use once.

Yes, I misread the descriptions, sorry for the confusion and thanks for the replies setting me straight.

I see now that Bratton's sells chrome plated die cast arms, I guess my question now is were the Ford production arms always stainless steel on the 30 and 31?

Were these an aftermarket item for 1930/31 ?? All I have ever seen in catalogs are stainless steel. Thanks, Bud.
