We'll take a look at eBay, Joe. Thanks so much. You have good eyes. You're right about being very careful and of course price. I think my buddy already bought a starter off eBay, and it turned out it was not a fit and the guy refused to accept a return. Jim

Re: Abel starter needed Many thanks for your replies, guys. My friend has been in touch with Steve Becker with Bert's, but he told me he's looking for an original Abel to simplify the fix. He's not a machinist and is disabled so he's limited in options. A swap, non-working to working Abel, is...

I haven't been on FordBarn for several years, at least not to post, but I've returned. A friend in my "A" club isn't computer-savvy, so I'm posting this request for him. He has an early Tudor and needs a working Abel starter. He's bought a couple starters only to find out that they have the 5/8"...

Just a couple hours ago I caught up with Paul on Facebook. Thanks for helping out, Randy, I appreciate your effort! Jim

Well, no luck with the email address as it is listed above. Can anyone else put me in touch with the owner/webmaster of the modelabasics website? Thanks so much, Jim

Thank you so much!

I'm trying to contact the owner of the modelabasics website but can't find any contact information for him. Can someone provide me with his name and maybe his email address, please. Thanks! - Jim Morris

My Roadster engine is at Schwalms being rebuilt. They notified me yesterday that the crankshaft is out of a Model B! It's counterbalanced. Does anyone have any experience with having a Model B crank in a Model A engine? Are there disadvantages or advantages? I don't understand why anybody in...

Have been unable to upload pix, something about "security".. waiting on help from Admin.

I have an indented, re-stamped firewall '31 Deluxe Tudor. Henry was frugal, when the gas shutoff was moved to the engine compartment and the firewall was indented behind it in ~May '31 he re-stamped 1930 firewalls (waste not want not) and re-purposed them for the '31s for a time. On my firewall...

Need to replace restored drver side fender that's on my late '31 Dlxe Tudor, I believe my driver side fender is a pre-1960 after market replacement, does not match passenger side front edge curvature. If photos uploaded see differences. Thanks!

I received mine. It's well made and will be a critical tool in my "A" tool collection. I have no reason to believe that if you've put your name on the "I'm interested" list that you'll have one. Relax those of you who may be anxious. Cheers, Jim Morris, President Sullivan Trail A's MAFC/Former...

Hi Gang, I took the photos above that Haag1332 has posted. The socket is well made, fits nice and tight to the brass nut of the GAV, and I've ordered one. I have 3 A's, owned one since 1978ish, was a MAFCA Board member, am President of my local A Club, and like a good beer and a laugh but not...

Am trying again to get photos of Bill's socket posted. Uploading is a no-brainer, system simply isn't working right now, 3 fails, tried 5 pix all at once, then only 1. Will keep trying, have contacted fordbarn administrator.

Kevin I take a little respectful issue with your jump from Ford designed the A to run at 60 and so therefore it's safe to do so. Ford adverstised around a lot of selling points and 55-60 mph was a sexy selling point for 1928-1931. I think that it's short-sighted to cite Ford's advertising about...
