also, they make a great base for a grinder...I've seen several used for this.

find a heavy truck service garage in your area...they will have the proper equipment and know how to get the job done correctly.

I have used Fastenal many times with no issues. Parts must be on a pallet. The best part is that the buyer pays the freight when picked up...seller just drops the pallet off at the local Fastenal store; no pre-payment by the seller. It has been a few years, so check in with your local store for...

no such thing as a "sports roadster" either...the sidemounts were a dealer option as was the covered rear trunk as well. You might want to buy a copy of the Restoration Guide from either of the national clubs; it will answer a lot of your questions.

Ft Wayne Clutch has been mentioned many times as a go-to for Multi-disk clutch refacing. I believe they are based in Detroit. Let us know how you make out on this project.

no scam...you just show the clerk in the tax office that it is an antique car and the tax value gets listed as $500. just that simple. It took me all of 5 minutes to do this and I was out the door.

As an NC resident, I have had my several Model A's licensed and registered for over 20 years...never been asked to verify mileage. $500 tax value.

I have an HF 6/12 charger/maintainer that does everything the unit pictured above does...I use it on my 2 Optimas 6v and regular car/mower batteries, 12v. Cost was $26.95 2 years ago and it has never given me any problems. It might be worth a look.

the referenced tech advisor was Roger Kauffman, use that in your search on the MARC site.

just FYI... The former MARC tech advisor ran his '30 Model A on straight 100% STP in the transmission and the rear end for over 50,000 miles. No issues and when checked he stated the STP was a honey color and had worked just fine. If you need verification check the MARC archives.

I've got an Optima 6v dated 2014 that reads 6.8v on my HF digital charger/ maintainer ($26) and the battery cranks just fine. I also have a 2016 date Optima 6v that reads 6.8, no issues. I leave it on a week and then skip 3 weeks. The Optima is one tough battery.

yep...California Car Cover is the place to go. Check out their site; they custom fit all body styles to match your weather requirements, mirrors, etc. They are worth the price...I had one develop a small tear after 2 years and they just checked my original order and sent me a new one...no charge.

#2 post Ruth has it right...the thread is 1/8" pipe thread, and it will keep the oil pump in place instead of dropping it on your head. A great little gadget to have in your arsenal.
