I am getting my 30 ready for the winter. I tried to grease the fitting on the water pump but it is smaller than a normal fitting. Also is pressed in not threaded. How do I grease this fitting ? Thanks in advance.

Thanks again, great bunch of knowledgeable people, found them on e-bay.

My 1930 Model A requires a new front spindle. Neither mac's or Rock auto sell them. Any help in getting one will be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks, have ordered a stud installation tool, Problem with living in Canada, $7.95 for tool -$20.00 shipping. ;) Tool arrived today, wow they're fast.

Do you have the contact info for Snyder or anyone who sells the swedging tool

I am replacing a rear wheel stud on my 1930. There is a little triangle shaped guide that fits into a notch in the brake drum. What is the best way to set the stud in place ? Does it have to be machine pressed or will a hammer and brass punch work ? Thanks in advance.

Thanks

Thanks, worth a try

Has anyone bypassed the light rod and wired the lights (and horn) through a switch.

Well, went out today, dropped steering column. Sanded light rod, put in being careful not to bend. Put spring and little gizmo (not sure what you call it) and clip. Seems to have fixed the horn problem but light switch still turns with wheel. Just a rookie thought here but is it possible that...

I borrowed some Singer sewing machine oil from the Mrs. hope that will work

Feeling good about my recent purchase, 30 Tudor, rebuilt engine ,******, steering box. No rust, older restoration. Seats need reupholstering. Have had a couple of issues (now fixed with your help) Paid $7700 Canadian. Just missed a 30 Roadster by a day, needed new interior, it went for $9000 CDN.

Thanks, it is 2 degrees celcius here right now. will get back to it on Thursday when it warms up a little.

Post #10 answers 1)When I reinstalled the rod it did get a slight bow in it as it hit the roof. I could drop the steering column and straighten the rod if you think thats the problem. 2) I have ordered Model A books 2 & 3 plus shop manual.( not here yet) 3) car is on stands
