Hi guys, i´m looking for a complete rear door latch for a 1946 Ford Delivery. /Tom

Thanks racemo, i will soon post some pics of my project :)

I'm going to do some hot riveting today and have all necessary items but can't remember how much the rivet shall stand out, to build a perfect head. I believe it's 1,5 x diameter but i'm not sure. Please guide me. /Tom

Here is a traditional solution. Hand primer pump and a vintage low pressure gauge. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fuel-pressure-pump-SCTA-hot-rod-Vintage-race-car-/130648885381?pt=Vintage_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item1e6b47c885...

Which connecting rod suites a 30-31 column best, as a column drop? What do You use?

VwJoe, You are my hero!!!!! Darn..that was easy with Your method. It sat hard but came loose in a couple of minutes. And NO.. someone before me made the cracks using a worse method.

"First, remove the horn button/shaft. Remove the nut (you done this already). You should see (4) blind indentions around the shaft. Pick (2) 180 degrees apart and drill a 17/64" hole in each all the way thru. Thread each hole for a 5/16" NC bolt. Use a standard bar-type steering wheel puller...

Thanks a lot guys, i really appreciate Your help. Good link. /Tom

Sorry.. forgot to say it's a 30-31.

Will the upper cover at the spark and gas rods, go down, when i loosen the screw, or up, when i pull the steering wheel, with the steering wheel puller that i don't have... yet. I have tried to tapp carefully with a bronz hammer on shaft/nut but nothing. Warming perhaps? Are there any easy ways...

Found a pair! /Tom

I use a 26-27 vaporizer intake upside down with a home made connection to the Tillotson X carb. Runs perfect!

Hi all, i'm looking for a LH drivers side 1926-27 spindle. Good threads, good bearing surface and not pitted. Hope I have not scared away all now. /Tom

This is how i did it. Now i only have to figure out how to steer it when driving. Bent steering arms, bent tie rod or both. Model A arms and model A steering box with the drag link.. rather not. How did they do it before the model A showed up? I would like to have it period correct as possible. /Tom
