Try Bert's in Denver for original stuff.

I was told by one of the techs at Snyder's that the very early Modern Bendix were made in India and not good quality. Now they are U.S. made and good quality. Mine is over 2 years old and has been perfect.

Cast Iron or Steel drums?

May be a bad THERMOSTAT if you have one installed.:confused:

If the few drops of oil really bother you, buy a REAR MAIN JANITOR from Snyder's, Page A-127, item #A-6768. Put a couple of folded paper towels in the bottom and change every few weeks. They work great!!:)

Did anyone mention WW tires? OH! I forgot they weren't an option!!:)

My annoying rattle came from the heater valve that mounts to the firewall. The control valve flapper was a little loose.

I have the F100 steering box and it's great. Has anyone found any additional improvement installing the shortened Pitman arm too?

Whitewall owners never use distilled water in their radiator or battery either. They use nothing but recycled creek water.:D:)

Has anyone installed a shortened PITMAN ARM that Snyder's sells? One and one-half inches shorter than the stock Pitman Arm. (Part # A-3590-S) "Says it makes for easier steering".:rolleyes:

Soak the boot in hot water and you can slide it over the PARKING brake handle without tearing it or having to cut it. A little WD-40 helps, too.:)

:) Hard to believe more folks didn't hear about Ford Barn from fellow Model A Club members. Google? Why are our club members staying silent on this great site? Thanks to one of our club members I was told at my first club meeting this was a mandatory site to look at each day. Thanks!!

I'm 79 and have a restored '31 Tudor sedan. I purchased it in Nov 2012. My best friend in HS had a '30 Coupe his grandfather gave him and I always wanted one. 62 years later I bought one and it has been a joy to drive and to keep polished like it was new in 1931. We have a great local club and...

I got my modern shocks from Snyder's and they are a perfect fit. Go with Snyder's. If you have any ? they will give you help all day long. They are great!! Good luck!!

I had a heater valve flapper that was loose and made a rattling noise. Anything attached up against the firewall can make strange noises that are hard to pinpoint.
