I'm looking far and wide for 4 new Firestone 475/500x19 whitewalls. Are these some kind of Fair Trade item? Everybody is $197 and no discounts allowed for clubs, etc. Really? Even if I buy 4, new tubes & liners. Suggestion?

I don't have the pop out and I've gathered from my readings that the pop out may have grounding issues when converted to negative ground. Maybe someone knowledgeable can comment.

I bought a sort-of redone '30 CCPU earlier this year. Happier than a kid with a new toy. Over 3 weeks ago, and after a lot of mechanical tinkering to improver performance and braking, she died with repeatedly blown fuses, frayed wiring harness and some really hokey wiring connections. The re-do...

Found out why my shipping was $113. Snyder's split my 9 pounds of parts into TWO BOXES. Both going at two-day Air rates. Oh Brother!

It's a relatively new 12V negative ground alternator and all was a go for the first test after the harness replacement. Got two blocks down the road and the fuse blew. Big short blackened inside the fuse. Multimeter out and cannot find a short. Fuse replaced, runs and shows charging, all lights...

For those of us that are non-purists but just love the daily driver, is there a wiring diagram that shows the 12V negative ground conversion with a one wire alternator and a safety fuse on the starter? I have several versions of the 6V positive ground diagram and have penciled notes about...

Yikes. Got the invoice. It doesn't seem like much weight in the small stuff but there is the long light switch rod to deal with. $175 of parts, $113 shipping.

I wish there was a way for Snyder's to get my stuff to California faster. They've used USPS and FedEx and it all seems to take a week. Yes, definitely order before 2 pm EST. I'm now into a four-figure relationship with Snyder's and just placed an order on Sunday evening specifying two-day Air...

Wow! Do I feel dumb. Thanks for pointing me to the obvious. I assumed that since the brakes had been meticulously adjusted to the Crosby method that all was equal. When I disconnected the parking brake rods, PROBLEM SOLVED. Ya know what they say about when you ***-u-me.

I'm replacing the rear spring shackles and once the spring disconnected, the whole rear end assembly shifted sideways. The only attachment is the rear radius rods at the torque tube. Nothing, including the frame, seems obviously bent, damaged or worn. The radius arms are original, unrepaired and...

Just did my front spring this week with new shackles along with a front brakes rebuild. the center bolt is square head and fits firmly into the cross member square hole. Glad you opted for no webbing since the extra thickness reduces the purchase into the hole. Before you crank down on the...

I've got a '30 ccpu and have been front to back with sweat and new parts on the same problem. The brakes felt like they hit firmly but not enough braking action. I finally figured out that the cross arm was bottoming out on the trailing radius rods connection to the u-joint cover. New motor...

Re: Float a motor sag hinders brakes Admittedly, I'm a Junior Member and very new to the Barn but I've been around the block more times than I can count and spent more hours under a car than I care to admit. I love what you guys are doing here and I've gained a wealth of information from you on...
