Hi, For a Briggs you might find some pictures on my website, especially here: https://www.fordmodela.com/restoration/body/wood/. The top hinges of the rear doors in my car were fixed each by two „through“ screws and one wood screw. Unfortunately I have not taken measurements but I could have a...

Dear fellow fordbarners, finally the car is finished after 9 years of restoration and on the road again for the first time since 1961. See www.fordmodela.com. Thank you very much for all your advice in numerous threads. Allmost all questions I had were asked by somebody else before, thank you...

I have just installed a Heinze wiper on my Town Sedan. See pictures in http://www.fordmodela.com/restoration/special-equipment/windshield-wiper/. Not sure about the correct path and fastening/attachement for the electric wire, but the routing should be ok. Michael
