Sorry it is a 28-29 Tudor.

A friend of mine bought a top wood kit and a screw kit a long time ago. And now he is trying to mount it. There are a lot of quite big washers och some mixed "wood" screws that we can't figure out where they go? Any ideas? Or is there an instruction?

Sorry about my OCD Mart ;-) This is how it was mounted on the 46 engine. But I may stand corrected, found this French Flathead, you said you used a French Canister, didn't you? Seams that one uses the side for the feed line from the oil pump: So i learned something today too ;-)

Thanks, Mart In Sweden, we have the clutch pivot parts, on the left side ;-) If I do anything I will put the gears in another housing. Was just curious what it was used for from the beginning.

Thank for the info. If I understand right it's for a 39-40 Fourcylindr commercial truck/car. I will put it on a shelf for now, but I have 48 and 78 cases to put the gears in. Could be good to have a spare one, I have broken some over the years ;-)

Well long story short. I use my Chinese Mobile camera. Save the pics to my PC. Edit them with Picasa 3, Google stopped supporting it in 2016, but it works still And all pics are on your hard drive, not i some cloud. You can download it here...

Yesterday I drove 400km to pick up a "new" rear axle för my 33. And as it goes I got some more pieces ;-) And i got this mysterious gearbox, He had a 34 that was Hot rodded so teh axle and gearbox and mechanical brakes were removed. it was mounted behind a 59AB, that he kept, but in my world...

Thank's I will give it a try, but its a bit down in the project plan. So don't hold your breath ;-)

Thanks Mart. That was my thoughts too. We will see if the guys on the other side of the pong agrees when they wake up ;-)

I think it will work but must double check. I have a 8BA block cracked along the oil pan rail. But i have a standard-bore 59AB block in nice condition. Now i am thinking like this, if i take the crank and rods from the 8BA. Will the crank and rods a bolt in? I know i need to change the cam...

I would try to remove the starter, its only two bolts and the negative wire. Then you know if the starter is the problem. Gear box stuck i two gears gives similar problems.

I have repaired the the bottom part of the Body now. And i am starting thinking on the top wood bows an how to mount them. Bought a kit from Macs a couple of years ago. Should i impregnate the wood with something? And what is the best order to mount the wood parts. Is it some page on the Webb...

Id try brazing the crack, then do the boring and sleeving. And start it up with Bars leak in the Coolant.

Well i guess i am a glutton for punishment. The Green machine is a Swedish three wheeled Moped called shopper, that i got from my both sons on my 60's birthday. The 1hpr 50cc engine is replace by a 450cc Suzuki four cylinder engine. And yes it moves :-)

Back in 1988 i Built this Fiberglass Roadster, on a re-pro frame with a Volvo B20 Drive line. The only original Model A parts was the hood and radiator. But I always wanted a Tudor, since i could not find one in Sweden back in the eighties, I bought a Roadster body. Fast forward, four years...
