Exactly what I thought, CarlG.

Looks really nice! Maybe a dumb question but what is holding the battery down? I use an Optima also and am using the Bert's metal top holder on the original battery tray. i must be missing something from the pic but looks like the battery is just sitting in that cutout in the plywood and doesn't...

Guess it's time to clean out all that white lithium grease and start over! That's what I really love about coming here for info and advice. I will say that we drove our '29 for over 20 years when I was growing up with it and never, ever to my memory lubed the speedo cable...it always worked...

Some great comments here! Wasn't trying to start an argument....just trying to learn something new, which I always do here! I used white lithium grease in my speedo cable gears and to lube the cable itself inside the sheath. I spotted my 12 year old can of Never Seeze on the shelf and just...

Anyone ever used Never Seeze for a speedo cable lubricant? Does anyone have a reason it shouldn't be used for either the cable or to lube the cable input gears on the back of the speedometer? Other than never being able to get the stuff off your hands or anything else it touches...

Welcome! Lots of help here....I was going to suggest that you watch Jack Bahm's YouTube video on this very subject but see he already beat me to the posting. Again, enjoy your car and have fun.

I have a May '29 Tudor that has been in the family since new and it has a similar "lump"....though not as pronounced as your's appears....would be interesting to find out what you learn...never thought about it myself...

I primarily use Bert's in Denver.....many times Steve will have an original part at a better price than a repro. Great service also.

Mine is because I have always been called Red, for some reason. Although the beard is white, it's better than being called Blanco....

Ordered mine from Amazon five months back....never had a battery that spins my '29 as well! Ordered with the 6v trickle charger and everything has been perfect so far....

Welcome! Lots of help here...

Thanks, Keith....I will attempt to get the backing plate off asap and drill this ball out. Yeah, I can imagine the headache when the whole boss is cut off! Any advice on the backing plate itself? You and Brent have been a great help. I guess this busted off perch ball explains why the Tudor...

Thanks, Brent. Snyders has a straight shank rear perch ball....they say to cut the old ball off and drill out with 9/16 bit...then weld. I'm assuming they have the perch off the car..?Otherwise, how would I drill from the backside with any hope of centering the hole on the old ball? Is it a...

Getting ready to buy a rebuilt set of shocks for my '29 Tudor and found a nasty surprise today while looking under the car. It seems the left rear shock ball is broken off above the spring perch. Is the shock ball attached to the spring perch or the axle housing on a May '29 car? Can a new ball...

Decided to try the POR Manifold gray....sure good to hear everybody's advice and experiences on this. This subject was discussed in several old threads but apparently still has some interest. How do I get to become a "Senior Member"....apparently age isn't the determining factor!
