Anybody ever try CJ2 Jeep wheels on an A? 16" with correct bolt patern - I'm not sure if any hubcap besides a Moon disc would work. As a teenager,I had a 1956 Jeep for a short while, for use on a job site. Everyone (especially my father) was disgusted with me, for putting five 1935 Ford wire...

Hello, Early 28 and possibly into early 29 splash aprons were differently shaped. the hole you have in the floor frame was for a carriage-type (with a flattish head) bolt with a spacer block that held the apron up towards the body. Forward of the hole, the apron was bolted to the frame as...

Hi Brent, I've run into a similar situation in the past with English car tubular steel seat frames. Even if the seat covers and stuffing are good the seats sag back as people contort and brace themselves into a small car. The tubing is usually 3/4" mild steel and runs around the edges of a...

I've heard of them, but do "T and A" t-shirts actually exist? Several people have wished for one, and supposedly some were printed in a past year. "Beardsley's T and A Show, 1931 and older".

Hi Dave (and Mercman), I really enjoy the pictures too, also the enlarged ones from Mercman. I appreciate the effort to find them, more so to take the time to post them. My son-in-law is a fisherman, and his favorite personal ad is "Want to meet: woman with boat. Please send pictures, OF BOAT."...

positive or negative ground?

BillCNC, I had the same thing, same supplier, same description and instruction (sealed front, grease rear). I took the fitting off the rear, and stuck a wire in the hole, discovering that the hole was blind ,either from misalignment during installation or no hole in the bearing shell. _Really_...

Old 31, When I repeat this story, I try not to name their name. I see defensive posts in other threads, and it usually goes on and on. It wasn't Bert, Mark gear, or Bratton's. The clue is who died and the business goes on, and the formerly great T&A catalog (my opinion only) now SOMETIMES warns...

Hello Spert, I also bought one from a supplier I had trusted since 1971. Surprise! THe flywheel balance was still dead on, but the NEW pressure plate was so far out that my longer-time-trusted local competition engine builder told me he would not be able to do ANYTHING to balance it, and...

ModelA29, Nice wheels! I believe the wheel pictured is what I call a Cleveweld, name stamped someplace on it. The hubcaps are much rarer than the wheels, the crest seems to be their own and I've seen it on different wheels for other cars. Nice find. They should fit a Model A with no clearance...

Think of the linkage as a chain of levers. The first is the pedal pad to the shaft crossing the rear of the engine. Lengthening it will slow foot travel's effect on the shaft, and slow down engine speed response-less touchy. A long set screw, or a short section of threaded rod with a...

July- August issue of AACA's Antique Automobile magazine, page 100, has a photo of a slant-windshield steelback Vicky with accessory Goodyear Airwheels. I've had similar Cleveweld wheels, and (my favorite, because I liked the name) a set of General Jumbos, which came originally with General...

Hi BoB, The swap meet portion of last year's Cider Mill Model T and A show was larger and greatly improved. The Dragone family attended with a nice automotive swap setup and their TT truck. There was a general 'local tag sale' section,with encouraging plans for this year. Lots of nice T and A...
