Thank you to everyone for your advice. The main problem I have is trying to put the rear lazy back in with what I have and I can't figure out what the suspension configuration would have been. I can't see mounting for another set of springs. Would the original springs be moved and shared?? I...

Thank you for your quick answers. From what I've seen, they all share the same spring set. This one is still running the original offset spring pack to the second axle. And I am not sure how the third axle was sprung. Surely not solid mounted?? Sent from my SM-A135F using Tapatalk

Good Morning fellow Model A'ers.. I have a friend who has a flatdeck Model AA with a very long deck. At this time, it is a four wheeler (two axles), although the previous owner has removed a third lazy axle. I believe he was frustrated with the truck losing traction on driveways when the...

Ooohh, ok.. Thanks John...

Hi Guys, Happy New Year to you all!! I have a lot of play in my 2 tooth box which is past being able to be adjusted out. So I plan to rebuild the steering box over winter. Someone told me the other day they pulled out their sector shaft and turned their steering wheel 180 then put the sector...

Hey, What about fuel evaporating in the fuel line?? Is that a thing with the Model A's?? I seem to recall some talk about that a while ago.. It would make sense to me if you are pushing it hard on the mountain roads and the fuel sitting in the fuel line close to the exhaust.. If you stop or...

I too found my front spring centre bolt had sheared off sliding several of the springs across to one side..

Hi Jim, Such a simple and logical idea.. I will doublecheck.. Thank you

Hi Old31, that a great fix!! Thank you.. Interesting, I notice your fuel is showing through your glkass at half full.. Mine only shows when I I am above the "F"...

Hi Nkaminar, I didn't realize the closed cars were different?? Do they have built in stops??

Mike, its so simple, its a fantastic idea!! At the moment its pops in and rests on the windwing glass brackets.. Thank you

Hello fellow Barners, Its recently needed cracked repaired on a windscreen stantion base on my pickup roadster.. Previous to this, the windscreen lower rubber and been glued shut, so the screen could not be pivoted open. But know that it is free to move, it folds inwards when driving at speed...

Hi Ports.. In the list of steps for the starting procedure.. You didn't mention turning on the gas tap??

I had a similar issue with my truck.. i couldn't figure out why one wheel was further out in the guard than the other.. Then i looked at where the spring leaf ends sat. a couple of them were bunched to one side. My spring centre bolt was so worn it snapped and let the spring leaves slide...

I agree with Brent, if its going to be front or rear, it should be front.. My 28 Roadster pickup came to me with no shocks and I drove it like that for three years before I purchased a late model aftermarket shock kit from Snyders. I got frustrated with the pickup ducking and diving with every...
