Has anyone heard of issues with new European Classic whitewalls turning yellow/brown shortly after install?

Has anyone had issues with these tires turning brown. I purchased and installed new European Classic whitewalls in April of 2025. Within a month they started turning color. In fall I cleaned the whitewalls before storage, and they started turning brown again within weeks. I've been in contact...

Thank you Kurt, that was an answer I was Looking for. I read the articles and just wonder if indeed these quick fixes work.

Thanks guys, but you didn't read the question. Is anyone familiar with "Technically Speaking" manuals; A compilation of articles originally published in the Model "A" News? There are some articles regarding potentially easy fixes of leaking rear seal that can be made without removing the...

Rear seal and oil level is good. Don't know about shaft play. I'm not that mechanical and just wondering about these other solutions that I read about. I am having difficulty finding someone to do the work. everyone assumes engine has to be pulled

I 've had my "31" coupe for about 5 years now. It was purchased without much history and only has about 5200 miles on what I believe to be a "29" engine. Was restored in the late 80's, early 90's and sat in a garage until 2006. It developed a main seal oil leak in spring 2019. Does anyone...

Last year I converted to LED taillights on my 31 Model A 6volt system. I also installed 10CP cowl light bulbs as instructed. No problems, work great. This year I converted my bumper turn signals. They don't work. Bratton's advised to add an additional 10CP bulb in parallel to left and right, to...

Good Idea. If I can figure out how I will do shortly. Thanks

I recently purchased my 31 coupe. Came with only one ignition key. I would like to get duplicate made, but I understand that it is not the standard Ford. At one time replacement pop-out ignitions were being made in Argentina or someplace down there. It's a crown style with one flat side. Does...

thanks Tom, I'm knew to this. Where is the part located and what does it look like? It's not in the column, is it?

Thanks. I've recently purchased a '31'. Someone had mentioned possibly filing the grooves, without removing the steering column. I just don't know the location of the grooves. Is it at the top by the lever, or at the bottom in the column?

Thank you. Is the slider or tooth mechanism that holds the steering column throttle control lever in the set position, a repairable item? Or does the assembly require replacement?

I recently purchased a '31' coupe with only one key. I can't find a keyblank for this pop-out style switch because it's apparently an imported assembly. Does anyone know if I replace the switch, do I have to change the cable, as well?

I recently purchased a '31' coupe with only 1 key. Can't find a keyblank for the pop-out style switch because it is imported. Does anyone know if I can replace this switch without replacing the cable, as well?
