I have several Model A restoration books, shown in the pic. Price is $50 shipped to the lower 48. Sold Pending funds.

If it is stainless, then it was probably brazed with a 45% silver brazing alloy which melts about 1100 dgF. Soldering temperatures are much lower, typically below 600dgF. One product that might work is the 96%tin 4%silver solders which melt at 430dgF. I've seen them at welding supply houses in...

Is there anyone that rebuilds the vacuum motors? I bought one of the kits, but the parts supplied are practically worthless.

I'm needing a good outside-mounted vacuum wiper motor for a 29A Thanks in advance.

I'm in the last moments of restoration and found a crack in my 3 bolt B water pump. Needing a casing really bad. UPDATE. Thanks to several folks who replied. One forum member had just what I needed and we should be in business when USPS does their thing. What a great forum. thanks to all!!

Ma wants a rumble seat to take the grandkids in a parade. Does this panel need to be removed? (see photo and arrow, arrow is kinda faint) If so, what replaces it?

take piece of stranded copper wire, strip about 1/2 inch, pound the bare end on your vise with a hammer until all the strands fan out. put that flattened portion in the hole. Start the screw and trim the wire so the strands do not show. Add or subtract strands until you get the right screw...

I have a bare block mounted in my chassis to check fits, A "B" engine in a 29A. The center flange of the front motor mount is about 1/2 inch above the frame cross member. Is this correct or should that square flange rest on the cross member?

I just finished getting the hand brake working on my 29A. I came to me with hyd brakes, but a half-baked job with the brake handle buried in the trunk. I used the mechanical brake system cross shaft (also buried in the trunk) and welded a tab and a link of chain to capture the shackle. I had to...

OK. with the great advice I got here, I'm in the middle of disassembly. I got the switch off and the tube out. Everything cleans up pretty good. I expected a wire or something in the center of the tube that connects the horn button to the wiring. I noticed on Snyders that they sell a kit that...

I would prefer to stick with this one if possible. The previous owner made a lot of mods, hyd brakes, B engine, now this, so It is not an original by any means. I want to get it back to functionality, and clearing up rust and bad wiring, is the plan for this.

Update: All body parts returned from blasting and etch primer coating. All in all, the body work will be minimal. The body work is next, after the chassis is finished. My grandson is helping with some competent wrench turning, though, I'm on the hook to take him Kart racing ( he is hard to...

I'm at the stage of restoration where I need to disassemble, clean, paint and fix the steering column. I don't have a good set of instructions to help me separate the steering wheel from the column so I can fix the horn switch, and light switch. The throttle and spark advance also need work, so...

I will have my splash shields and fenders back from soday blasting and etch priming. I will be fitting these parts on my 29a coupe in a few weeks, If I can help with a dimension, pm me and I will see if I can help, though I am very new to these old cars, I am doing a complete frame-off...
