count the number of leafs in the spring pack to make sure the correct amount are there. then also maybe there is a broken one. i have had springs re-arched with pretty good success. the big thing is you need to be real careful when taking the spring out and apart. find a spreader.

my car has serial number ca8526. it has multi disc clutch, left hand park brake, early rear end, and early braking system, early wheel, and wheel nuts, the drive line was not changed from when it was new. the serial number is correct as it was bought brand new in 1928 and owned by one family...

if you can mount it sideways you can get it lower. put the filter somewhere else.

build a huckster. or a truck like in my avitar. i built that from scratch, you just need the cowel to start.

it may have, not sure but the second gear on the cluster had a broken tooth. kinda makes you wounder.??

i guess i called the transmission a bad word in the title. i think i figured it out. it appears to have been a way to do a repair. the bushing must have been installed and the shaft turned down to fit it. as a way to repair either the main shaft or the input shaft. there seams to be no end to...

this main transmission drive came out of a case that was in a 1930 car. i have not seen this before. i looked through my books but cant find the answer. was there a change up where a brass bushing was installed instead of roller bearings? thank you

i would go with BRENT in 10-uh-C , i have never worked on S/W. in the shop we would never have put oil on rubber parts. sorry for the bad info.

ps, the one issue i see with the urethane is it may not want to stick to the rubber packing you have, if it were me trying to cobble this together i would leave out the packing and fill the channel with urethane to compensate. oh and an fyi the packing on lower window channels is not oiled...

you could be correct, have never worked on a slant window 31, but i would be skeptical on that bit of information. if you decide you want to glue it in. I would go to the glass shop and buy a tube of windshield urethane (some times it needs a primer for the glass aswell) put it in the calking...

my only suggestion is do them in a single stage paint. not clear.

most lower window channel is held on by the friction fit of the packing between the glass and the channel. no glue or any kind of adhesive. i put the window upside down on a clean smooth solid mounted board and drive the channel on evenly with a wooden mallet. they can be tight. if the glass...

just thinking here so this is just a maybe can you straighten the bottom hook and rebend it so the distance is longer, or drill a hole in the bottom of the channel 5/16" higher that will accept the hook? sometimes you just have to be creative.

picture if you want it

outside diameter of the teeth as close as i can measure. 0.900" give or take 11 teeth.
