Back in the late 50's I had a 35 Ford coupe with a very similar radio and the controller was fastened to the bottom of the dash to the left of the steering column. No guarantee that it is the correct location. The same car was missing a back quarter window so I seperated the other quarter window...

Thanks Wick. See you there

Thanks Steve. What do you charge for a rebuilt generator and do you require a core/trade-in? Also, do you have a website that my friend could look at and purchase from in advance for delivery at Hershey?

Not too soon to post what you will be bringing to Hershey to sell. For a friend, I am looking for the lower casting of a Zenith carb and maybe a generator. Too expensive to ship to Canada so would like to pick them up there.

Thanks. The law here in Canada is that all vehicles on the road must display "daytime running lights" and if the vehicle is not so equipped then front lights of some type must be turned on. On the Model A, turning on the park lights (which are inside the headlight assembly) seems to meet this...

Sorry if I confused anybody. Snyder's catalog calls them semi-conductor so I assumed that is right. Herb, thanks for the info. That's what I was hoping was the case.

Finally my old original, I think, cut-out gave up and the generator wasn't showing any charge on the ammeter. Luckily, I had purchased a new semi-condutor one several years ago "just in case". I have installed the new one and my ammeter is showing charge again. Is it normal to have to adjust the...

Sounds like a good idea. I'll try it. Thank you

I recently installed a new top on my 31 Roadster. "Cinch' fasteners were provided to hold the back window up to the straps when you want the window open. I have found that these fasteners do not provide a very postive way of keeping the window suspended and that after a few miles, one or more...

Canadian banks have what they call etransfer where you can send money from your bank account to any email address-no fee. Don't think it works unless the reipient has a Canadian bank account. Recipient can set up auto deposit or do it individually-again no charge. Works great and use it all the...

Thanks everyone for the info and suggestions. I will try the o-ring for a temp fix and order the dremel grinder and obversize ferrules. I will also check for a cracked ferrule.

I have the original cast iron sediment bowl on my 31 Roadster. It has a persitant leak where the line to the carburetor connects. I tried to stop the leak by tightening the fitting on the gas line but it didn't make any difference. When I looked at the seat in the bowl for the ferrule on the...

"2-How do they fasten to the top frame. I see one original fastener stud on the outside of each top frame just back from where it is fastened to the windshield post. If this is the proper location, what is the purpose of having one fastener in this location? Is is necessary so it can be...

While at Hershey last fall, I was lucky enough to pick up a new, in the box, set of LeBaron Bonney side curtains for a 28-29 Roadster. They were the right color for my 31 Canadian built Standard Roadster and the price was right so I bought them in hopes that I could modify them if necessary to...

Try Restoration Specialties & Supply. They have a lot of stuff not listed in their catalog
