The kit was from Leeds. It went together easily but I would have used Wilwood had I know the bearings and races were from China. It was Sunday and I went ahead and used them but they wont last. The rest of the kit fit fine, I just fail to understand using cheap bearings as it makes them look...

Yesterday I got around to installing disc brakes on my 62 Galaxie. I pulled the hubs and then the backing plates as a single until. The drums and shoes are in good shape and the cylinders were rebuilt a few months ago. All of the self adjusters, springs etc were never removed. If anyone is...

I have a survivor 62 Galaxie with great original upholstery, however the original owner replaced the original vinyl front seats inserts with cloth. I’m trying to find the company that makes the reproduction upholstery, or a reputable company that can provide what I need. A company called Pro...

I thought there were reproductions being made but no one seems to know anything about them. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places. Anyone know why the reproductions stopped and if they are going to start up again?

New electric wiper kit. Still in box from CG parts. Sold the car and have no use for it. For 1946-48 Ford Passenger Car. 6 volt Apologies to those who saw the incomplete ad. I hope its more informative now.

I picked up a 12000 Aamco, made in Canada, a few years ago. Its a 4 post and I love it. My son in law hates it and thinks a two post is better. He doesnt understand the pain of getting under a car to position the arms on a two post. I love being able to drive a car or truck onto the lift and...

4/15/2020 Car is still for sale. I have repaired the windshield wipers and have installed the radio. It was rebuilt but I believe the polarity is wrong and it is still not working. I have another rebuilt radio that goes with it. I have lowered the price to 10,000. I have not seen another...

I did not like the looks of a 31 column drop on my 28. I took a 1/4 x 2" flat bar and ran it from flange to flange on the cowl. It is bolted to the cowl on each side as well a single bolt into the instrument tunnel. I used a 36 column drop with the key an toggle as mine is a hot rod but this...

Wikapedia is your friend: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_the_imperial_and_US_customary_measurement_systems Now you know.

I have tried to contact the person who repaired it but get no answer. I will have to locate someone new if possible. Thanks to everyone for the advice and tips.

My 47 came with a 6 volt Optima battery and a one wire alternator. It had and still has a negative ground. I have had the radio repaired and want to get it working but am unsure about hooking up to the negative ground. It seems I would have two options: 1. Reverse the polarity back to...

Yes I have. Turn it on its side and have at it.

I was once corrected when calling the "dash" in my Model A a firewall. Apparently the correct term for the metal piece that most people refer to as a firewall was called a dash by Ford Motor Company. I would like to know when Ford stopped calling it a dash and went with the firewall nomenclature.

I wasn't looking for generic definitions. I was looking for FoMoCo definition. I believe all Model T's had "dash's" behind the engine and I believe Ford still called the "firewall" a dash through the Model A's. Just wondering how long that went on. I'll go post this on the V8 section and...
