Maybe his father bought the car used in 1959, just as my 1952 Mercury was built in 1952, my car has been with me for only fifteen years? Sent fra min S62 Pro via Tapatalk

Om my 1952 Mercury, I got an 8" from a 1966 Mustang. The Mustang had wider drum brakes, so I took out the axles, took of the wheel bearings and in the lathe I machined the bearing surface 5/16" longer towards the drum and took of the same on the spline end. I also had to move the spring seat...

There is a product called oil saver: Rune from Norway Sent fra min S52 via Tapatalk

RalphG I sure Hope so as well! The spring race is on a Gocart track, so I have to ask a friend of mine that works there if I can Try the track before the event, as I am not sure if my relatively big car is able to go around the tightest corners [emoji28] The other cars that participate on these...

Thanks for all the replies! I checked the wheelsmith website, and they have ONE type oem rim with the measurements I think I need. But I had planned spending about 100 dollars per piece and use a Norwegian company called Pony Parts to do the shipping as they ship by sea about once a month. I...

Hi 1931 flamingo! I haven't dine any mods, it is the standard bolt pattern for 1952. Rune from Norway Sent fra min S52 via Tapatalk

Hello! I have a 1952 Mercury that I plan to participate in a track race with this spring. I don't want to shred my whitewalls, so I have got some used 215/70-15 tires that I plan to use. The problem is that I cannot find any wheels (rims?) That I think fits AND looks decent. I have checked...

I have no experience of rumble seats, but a funny (?) Fact is that in Norway rumble seat is called "svigermorsete". This Will translate to "mother in law seat" [emoji846] Rune Waltoft from Norway Sent fra min S52 via Tapatalk

Is that fuel pump designed to be mounted higher than the fuel tank? When you drive around, and the fuel moves, so that the fuel pipe in the tank "sees" air, is that pump able to self prime? Rune Waltoft from Norway Sent fra min S52 via Tapatalk

I have once made a plug that went into the spark plug hole with a grease fitting. Soaked the cylinders with atf, closed the valves and used a grease gun. The crank moved about one degree/pump Rune Waltoft from Norway Sent fra min S52 via Tapatalk

JimNNN In the service manual for mye 1952 Mercury, it states that once a year I should lube the wiper motor: 1: disconnect vacuum hose and put ut in a container with motor oil. 2: turn the wiper switch fully on. 3: manually drag the wiper until it ALMOST reaches the point where it will return...

Om ny 1952 Mercury, I changed all four bearings and the oil seals. I used gear lube for an outboard gear (I think it was 80W90 GL5). I tightened the screw on top of the steering box to eliminate end play of the sector axle, and removed gaskets from the square that goes into the steering column...

If you add new grease, it will lube and dissolve the old grease. Next time you add new grease, it will push the mix of nearly new grease and old grease out. Rune from Norway

In my 1952 Mercury, I use the original vacuum Wiper. I follow the service instructions; Motor not running, tune wiper knob fully on, take off the vacuum hose from wiper motor. Take a short hose from wiper motor in a oil can, drag the wiper ALMOST to max, and then return to parking position. This...

To crush the crush washer more than it already is, requires a lot of force. More than the specified torque. Find the right torque spec and change the seal yourself. Rune from Norway
