Wanted: Complete early Model A drum or "tuna can" style tail light. Let me know what you have.

Looking for an early 28 (Shorter) choke rod. Specifically for an April 28 Tudor. Please send photos to castiellod@yahoo.com

Looking for early 28 brake cross shaft brackets. These will not fit the bushing. The cross shafts ride free in the brackets.

Ugly, Thanks or the tip. Now I’m just working on getting the correct cross shaft brackets.

Had no idea that was a Canadian shock. The mixed set I had bothered me at first but I got over it. I really don’t plan on making any seasonal adjustments. Vast improvement over non-existent shocks so I’m happy.

I'm pretty happy with my Apple rebuilds. I didn't think two out of four were going to be rebuildable. And I know, I have to get tubular links. There seems to be a shortage right now.

I finally got around to installing the above-mentioned springs. As suspected, there were no springs installed previously. They were a little bit of a pain to get into the U-Joint housing sockets but once in they definitely take out play and tighten everything up.

Thanks. I have to give Bert's a call. In the meantime I painted the newer style straps and put in new bushings. I also installed the springs that go into the U-Joint housing sockets that were non-existent.

I have a similar setup. It’s been six months and no more fuel in the carb. However it is getting a little gritty and harder to turn. Suspecting sediment is still getting into the valve.

Spoke to Snyder’s and they said it shouldn’t be a concern so I installed them as is with the overhang installed on the “trailing” side when going forward.

My only concern is the edge folding over from being compressed and it possibly breaking off

Ordered molded linings from Snyder’s. There is about 1/16” overhang on one end of the brake show and 1/8”-3/16” on the other. Is this normal? Can I install them like this or trim them down? The woven linings I removed were flush with the edge of the shoes.

Yes, mine do appear to be later straps especially after comparing them to the flat portion of the upper strap. I appreciate everyone's help.

I know this is an old thread but any help would be appreciated. Do the cross shaft brackets appear to be original with someone adding split bushings at some point? The driver's side cross shaft has approximately 1/8" left to right movement. The passenger side shaft has no movement. Would that...

Pencil filter was installed on original valve. I installed a new pencil filter on the new valve that was installed. From what I can tell the tank seems pretty clean but I would like to fully flush the tank one day. For now this keeps the wife from complaining about the smell of gasoline in the...
