One person told me that it was for stretching rawhide drum heads.

I had the same problem with my 31 Tudor. Worn springs in the door latches. I replaced both and ended up taking the shims out of the striker plate on the body. Now they are real solid.

I would argue that hot rods are more unique than keeping a car all original. I like both worlds.

Thanks for everyone's help. I purchased an Otwell from a local forum member after he contacted me. Awesome guy!! I have installed it and am enjoying a heated cabin!

I purchased an original manifold heater from Bratton's assuming it would line up with the existing hole in my firewall. WRONG!! It is higher than the one I have. Any ideas as to what I have? I have photos, including a shot of the original firewall port.

Yeah, it was hard to see. The pin had backed out and was pinned behind the trim ring. I got it out and removed the regulator, but the window has some sort of solid stop even with nothing attached. I think I will just live with it. Thanks for your help.

I tried to look at the regulator today, but I couldn't get the window crank off. I removed the set screw, wouldn't budge. I had it off last summer when I tried to inspect the situation. I wonder if the crank rotated on the square peg?

I'll check that. You think it should go all the way down?

I purchased a 31 Tudor about a year ago from my uncle. It is a very nice driver, not a show car. All original except for 12 volt starter and lights. My question, the rear side window on one side rolls all the way down, and the other stops 3-4" from the bottom. I took the panel off and could see...
