The mafca said there was nothing in the judging standards so we are just going to go with roman bold.

I searched the forum for font, font type, type font and can't seem to find anything. Does any one know the name of the font type that was used to stamp the body number type on a 1930 briggs body 68b. Our body tag was pretty badly damaged so we bought a blank and I want to be able to the the...

Update. While the alternator we put in addressed the charging issue we still had a problem in which the turn signals we installed would not flash if the car was running. They would just barly flicker. Worked fine wile the car was not running. We were using leds with the electronic flasher. We...

Ron/ia. I know this is an old post but if there is any chance you still have the doc could you please pm it to me

We have started turning it off after every drive after we has a brass float in our Tilly develop a crack, and drain a full tank out on to the floor.

We have worked with Bert's on some of the harder to find things we needed. Part iof the problem is all the TV car show where the build a hot show car in an one hour episode and sell it for 100,000. No everyone with an old car thinks it is worth 50,000. It is harder for the high point guys for...

Update: We polarized the generator again, no change. Made sure the brushes were making god solid contact then then put a jumper around the cut out with it running and that had no effect. We decided to go to an alternator and that fixed the charging issue. Thanks to all for the suggestions and ideas.

Thanks for the suggestions. We will try to polarize again with the car off. Then with it running try to short around the pop out to see what reaction we get from the ammeter. The generator was original to the car (original from the 50s when Grandpa got it) Maybe some insulation in the field or...

Thanks for the response JR. It has helped. There were some very sallow groves in the commutator when we took it apart so we used what I know as Emery cloth (fine abrasive cloth like crocus cloth I think) to clean it up. The brushes are all new and there is pretty good tension on all three of...

I found that any good sharp hole punch works well. I think the key to a good clean hole was to make sure the backer you drive the punch into is a somewhat hard material. I good solid piece of oak worked, but a heavy block of nylon material was best. If you can't find this a cheap plastic cutting...

***** PARTS FOUND **** I am looking for two of the metal brackets that get screwed into the header. These are the brackets that the large steel pins on top of the windshield go though. I have attached a picture I found that I believe are the items am looking for, Thanks for any help you can...

There have to be judging standards for those who like to complete to be judges against. If you like fine point competition, do it, if not just make your car what you want it to be, enjoy it the way you want to enjoy it and don't begrudge others who enjoy the hobby the way they like to enjoy it...
