WTB a used Mitchell Synchro Trans for a '29 Model A Anyone have one for sale?

Finished the steering wheel conversion to allow for more room and comfort for a big guy (6'1" 230#) Removed original 17" steering wheel and replaced with a flat dish 14" steering wheel. Removed center hub from an old donor wheel, attached it to new flat dish wheel with the center hole drilled...

Okay folks, the plan is in place, the steering wheel is done with very little problems. Removed the center spline hub (my '29 does not use the Woodruff key version wheel) had a flat (no dish) 14" steering wheel fabricated to fit the hub, had the 3 pieces powder coated and will install this week...

Thanks to all who replied. I have a "new" F-100 steering box that lightens the steering considerably. I think what I am going to do is to take the original steering wheel, gut out the center hub and have it welded in place on a new flat (no dish) 14" steering wheel, powder coat and install. This...

Need to replace the existing steering wheel (17.5" dia) with a smaller 14" dia wheel to allow for more driving space. I am looking at a flat dish "universal" wheel. Has anyone done this? If so, what wheel did you purchase and did you need an adapter kit or how did it fit on the existing...

I have a '29 standard Phaeton, the problem is that the front bench seat will not adjust back to allow for a more comfortable driving position. Is it possible to modify the front seat to allow for adjustment? Will universal seat tracks do the trick? Has anyone done this modification? HELP!

Thanks to all who have given advice and opinion. Just THINKING about doing a conversion and needed more info on how it is done, cost of parts and if there are any skilled professional shops in my area that could assist. All very good arguments on both sides, pro and con (scopic and phobic). It's...

Thanks rickyracer1962 would you private message me with your contact info.

Looking to convert my 29 A to hydraulic brakes. Anybody in the SoCal region do this in their shop?

Thinking of doing a hydraulic conversion on my 29 Phaeton. Is there anyone in the SoCal region who can help?

Look on EBAY there is a guy in Tampa that I purchased a good MileAway horn from.

Thanks go to Randy Gross who supplied me with his F100 steering box. I had a serious Death Wobble and the new unit cured the affliction! The F100 box works as advertised, was complete and "easy" to install with a little help from my friend and auto swami Dean. Great product, those who are...

The DEATH WOBBLE is GONE!!!! Thanks to a new Randy Gross F100 steering box, new wishbone retainer, wheel balance, front alignment, and general tightening the problem has been solved. THANKS go to Randy Gross who really makes a superior product. It works as advertised and really does help make...

Looks like the The Restorer (2015) article on Death Wobble is a really good reference piece to isolate the problem. Need to do it quick as the Bride refuses to ride in the car as long as it does as she says "an imitation of Elvis the Pelvis dance"! Thanks for the guidance. Jeff

Okay! First on the long list is wheel balance, simple and cost effective. Next will be the up in the air shake test to see what may be loose and start repairs ASAP - then call in the help of an expert ($$$) Thanks! Jeff
