Tried to upload two photos but both uploads failed. Had trouble with this Saturday also, not sure why. If the head ever had an "F" on it, it is now badly worn. Sure looks like a "1" to me. Maybe we'll never know.

I have what appears to be a Model "A" engine but on the head (on top) is the marking "B-1". Other heads I have seen do not have this marking. I'm curious as to what I have. Any ideas?

Well, here's my likely final post regarding this issue. I removed both shocks .. The arms are free but have next to no resistance or "shock effect". Removed the drain plug from each shock. There was next to no fluid in either shock. Read everything I could get my hands on about how to...

Wow. Lots to digest. These shocks came as they are photographed already assembled and mounted to the chassis. Seems like I should at the very least try to swap them right to left. I'm not sure what I'd get into if I pulled out the Les Andrews' book and tried to rebuild them. Can they be...

Gentlemen, Thanks for all the replies so far. I am attaching the promised photos, one showing the driver's side fender attached and sitting on the shock, one showing the passenger side shock as positioned minus the fender. It's difficult to read the yardstick in the photo but the top of the...

Dlfrish, these are 31 fenders. I do have one ‘28 passenger side front fender but I wouldn’t call it good. It’s rusty with a small tear in the front bead. Probably not worth the shipping expense.

I won’t be back home until Monday, then I’ll take photos. They are mounted right side up. I can tell that from the above photo. They definitely reach above the frame though. I thought of just shimming up the fenders, but that doesn’t solve the hood latch issues and I’m afraid it would stress...

Yes, they are original round shocks. Can’t spell the right word. Can’t take photos now ‘cause I’m out of the state. The comment about being upside down is intriguing. I didn’t mount them, they were already on the chassis but I’ll check that first thing on my return. Never thought to check...

It's always another problem isn't it? Today I tried to mount the front fenders on my '31 Coupe. They line up nicely with the running boards, the splash aprons, the front fender brackets and the mounting holes on the frame; BUT they are riding on the front shocks. So much so that the hood...

Thanks Bad Puppy. I'll look into the bulb idea tomorrow. Found the problem with the turn signals and I'm almost embarrassed to share it, but I've learned so much on this forum I need to share the bad as well as the good. I trusted the small plastic clips that came with the resistors to make...

Just checked the flasher recommended that's available on Ebay. It seems to be the same as the one I'm using. Mine says BV535 not 535. All the other markings are the same. 6 volt, 32 CP. Is there any way to tell if they are the same?

Thanks for the ideas! Patrick L., no, the lights don't light at all. One instantaneous quick flash on whatever side is activated (in the rear flashers only, not in the front), then nothing. I also have no pilot or indicator light on the stalk, whether the four ways are active or a turn...

Herb, Yes I'm sure they are 6 ohm. That's what all the suppliers seem to be recommending. They are wired, one each, to the brake / turn signal wire from each LED tail light and then grounded at the tail light housing. I agree it seems odd that the four way flashers work but not individual...

Finished first time wiring on a 6 volt, positive ground coupe. Incandescent bulbs in cowl lights as parking lights, LED bumper mount blinkers in front, LED tail lights in the rear. All new from Snyders. Parking lights in the cowl and rear work beautifully. Brake lights work beautifully...
