Hello, I might be the only person here in Japan even thinking about Model A Day, so I will share what I was surprised to discover. At the Edo Tokyo Museum there is a 30/31 Model A Fordor decorated as a taxi, and a period ad. When I saw it from a distance I had to see if it really was and made a...

That is what I was thinking, and I will go with that. The small one just seems rather small for there, but seems the only place that works deductively. The Judging Standards don't specify the bolt for the locations. Unless I am looking in the wrong place. Hoping to get my body on this weekend.

I have a body bolt kit from Snyder's, but I am a little confused about what is what. I didn't document the originals, unfortunately, so I can't go by that. So, I know the carriage bolts go in the square holes in the front end, but the rest confuse me. Especially the short, narrower bolts. I...

The rods are new so they wouldn't be cut down. I think I have one or two pills in there, so I will try removing those. Wish I had rods ready when it was easy to do that. I have to take everything off now.

I am having trouble with my front brake rods. I am figuring the cross shaft arms are set vertically at rest. And with the rod eyes set to 51.5" it won't reach. And to make it reach I don't really have much rod left. Does anyone know what is going on here?

I am trying to find replacements for some threaded pieces from my rear apron for attaching the fenders. I think they are called d-nuts, is that correct? I have seen similar parts on Snyder's, but none explicitly for that area, so I am unsure.

I will be needing wood for my 60-C. Does anyone have recommendations for where to purchase one? I know a little about Fordwood; does anyone have anything to share about them? Thank you.

That would be helpful Roadster62, thank you. Fordwood unfortunately still has no drawings for the 60-C.

Does anybody have drawings or photos of the body wood in a 60-C? I would like something model-specific to refer to when inspecting my car, in case there are differences, which I assume there are. I apologize for not replying right away, I don't have internet access from my house now. Thanks a lot.

It sounds like I need new nuts. Thank you.

These are the front hub nuts which were on my car, but they don't seem to fit. Are they the wrong nuts or am I missing something to take the space?

Thank you all. I will try out these.

Are there any special tricks or tips on mounting the tires onto the wheel? A 21" wheel particularly.

The spindles I got to replace my worn ones look have that ring like yours does, Tom. I assume then I don't need to replace the seals I had?

I cannot find this part in the shop manual. It was on the spindle when I was disassembling the car. I think it was between the inner bearing and the base. I seem to have only found one so I don't know if this was supposed to be there or if someone else added it. Hopefully someone can tell me...
