Hi. On my 239 french flat, I wanted a fuel pump with a glass bowl instead of the original one. I checked on an old 59L I had, same tickness at the rear of the intake, same stand and same pushrod. So I assume, same lobe on the french camshaft. Now, to fit the new pump, I had to shortening the...

Yes, I do apologies because the situation is becoming critical. People are calling me a liar, and I can’t stand that. I didn’t make any of it up.

I really apologies to the whole Barn community for what’s going on here. No more to say.

I knew when I bought it, it will not be so nice as a Brookville. The main reason I didn’t build by myself was to save time and use their experience in building bodies. A lot of guys are satisfied with the quality of the swedish bodies. Mine as a manufacturing issue. I’m here to find out...

Yes, those engines come from military trucks

Hi. My French flathead is originally equipped with a 5 1/8 in 24volt gen. I want to fit a more common 12v gen. What is the diameter of an 8BA generator ?

I think you’re right glennpm. Looking at the reportage, they put a support between the frame and the bottom of the quarterpannel. This one measure 3 1/2 in. On my car, I have 4 1/2. In the inside of the trunk, this shape shoudn’t be seeable. On mine, we can see the top of it. The whole...

We had contact with the company who built the body. They said the issue is because I use an european frame. I’ve never heard there is difference between european and american frame !

This one is built by the customer. Almost no gap on the rear. Most likely the jig they use isn’t correct

With the doors on. The belt line looks good

I’m curious to know how you did. I tried without heating, the frame didn’t bent.

Here are few pics I found of Swedish bodies on original frames. Some cars have a big gap, some not. The most signifiant is the last one.

I think they fit better. But a Brookville body imported in Belgium is almost two times the US price.

Actually, the door opening is kept by a square tubing bolted to the A pilar and the B pilar.
