My '40 had some stubborn perch bolts that I should have been a little nicer to, but noooo, Now I need a new set, Mine being a 2 dr. std. sedan has no sway bar and my research tells me they are the same as the '39. I am hoping some one out there has a nice NOS or nice used set that they can...

I have been on an adventure to find out how these units are made and what the failure mode was, I’m an engineer and a little part of me would not let this go. I was able to procure a “bad” cap from Ken Isidor of Ken’s Carburetors in Connecticut. (Nice guy, thank you Ken.) A little clarification...

Carter makes one, (P4259) I am running in my '40, got it from my local NAPA store cheaper than the inner-Web. You will need a regulator.

Who's got a nice vintage Sun or Mooneyes Tachometer cup (3 3/8"dia.) they would like to part with? I am looking for a nice one that would have both the flat and steering column mounts. Would also like to have the hole for the illumination bulb wires. Please let me know what you offer, Thanks!
