Looking for a set of 36 Ford Spyder caps. I know Hirsch has them but was hoping to find a set that someone has hanging on their wall collecting dust. They need to come out and see the light of day and feel the air once again! I need them for my 5W coupe. Appreciate any leads. Thank you.

This weekend I pulled the baffle plate off..other than a bit of sludge on the underside nothing shiny. built a flexible fitting for the air compressor and got it up around the cam etc nothing rattled or came out. It appears the engine is coming out..wasted enough time looking for this bolt.

great pic Mart! Thanks for that...I have reached up into at least 4 of those recesses after turning the crank out of the way. I will be sure to check the ones closest to the oil holes. I have scoured the floor as the car is in my lift bay in my shop. never hurts to look again!

I can do that and I will...if I find the time tonight I will see what kind of mess I can create. I really love the fact that I was so close to pushing the start button after 18 months of work and now this..guess I will chalk it up to what we call " the mockup stage "

pan has been removed and no bolt...you are correct about the breather holes they are a perfect fit for the bolt size. the only thing I can ascertain from all the info I have received is it either is NOT in the block and I am hallucinating or it caught up on top of the cam someplace.which I...

that was the next step..they have ones that have a light at the end beside the camera that hooks up to your phone..who knew!

plugs are all in thankfully

where is this hole located? is it accessible from the top or the bottom of the engine?

so I suppose there is no hidden cavity or space in the back of the block where it could be. I have very cautiously manually turned the crank and nothing fell out.

Hilarious 38v8...I knew that was coming from someone..I deserve that trying to be all fancy under the hood..should have just stuck with the original bolts. I feel shame now.

I have searched the entire valley..( sounds like I am looking for a lost steer on the ranch ) I even looked under the 2 splash pans

51 Merc : I will have an another search tonight.. 19 Fordy : I have looked from the block back past the ****** and nothing..I will look again..my eyes arent what the used to be..I think the disbelief of watching the bolt tumble in slow motion down into the intake hole was such a shock maybe i...

My arthritic fingers enabled me to lose a SS torx head fuel stand bolt down the intake fuel stand hole in my 36 Ford 5W.. I have removed the entire intake assembly as well as the oil pan ( with the engine still in the car ). I have inspected the entire crank assembly for a hidden pocket where...

so just pull one side of the ring and should pop out? is that how its designed? thanks for input!

Hi guys, this is most likely the simplest thing to do but I cannot figure it out. How do you remove the interior overhead light glass and on/off toggle switch?I simply want to replace the bulb as the car is 90% converted to 12v. I see what looks like a snap ring but my eyesight isn't what it was...
