Thank you both! I may try the friction tape idea!

I have a 30 Tudor sedan going back together after many years. Getting to the spare tire bracket that attaches to the rear of the body (this is not a side mount spare). Is there any kind of rubber or protective material that goes between the bracket and the body? Or does the bracket bolt...

I may try just that thanks!

Has anyone had any luck reattaching the mounting arm on a vacuum wiper motor? I dropped mine while cleaning it and the prices for replacements are getting pretty steep.

I purchased a rebuilt steering arm (with a new round ball welded on) few years ago and installed. It looks like it may be bent given that the end of the drag link now rubs underneath the brake shaft above it. Am I thinking correctly? What might I do to fix this?

This is what I have

I’ll try to post a picture of what I’m working with and I’ll try using a new set of brushes and brush holders from one of the vendors and see if they work. Thank you everyone for your feedback!

I’ve identified my horn as a Stewart Warner. It is missing one of the brush holders and the brush inside it. Are the brushes and brush holders sold by Mike’s, Snyders, etc generic enough to use? I notice Mikes says theirs are for a Sparton horn but they don’t have others called out for other...

Thanks Brent! Your answer is what i was looking for exactly. This 30 car is painted more like a 28/29. I think the upper body (above the belt including the C pillar) would be all the same color except the window reveals if it were correct. Just checking to be sure

Thank you! Yours definitely matches what i've read. Beautiful car!

Ok thank you both. I was just trying to avoid $90 between the two books to get a quick answer for a specific question. Looks like I'll be picking them up.

Thanks Mike. My question was not about the color specifically, but about the arrangement of the colors on the body. Both the MARC and Model A Ford Club of America state that for 1930 and 1931 the "Lower Body" and "Upper Body" are different colors. This car has the lower and upper body the...

I am seeing pictures of some 30/31 vehicles with same upper and lower color body color and the accent only at the raised area of the belt. The color guides i see written claim that the upper and lower body are always a different color - unless all black. Was the same upper and lower body color...

Perfect! Thanks! My worries are confirmed that mine are stamped 😕
