Oh lord, it sounds like I need to buy both!!! I should have pulled them out before I had the axle cleaned up and painted. As always thanks, this site is awesome!!

What is the correct size grease fitting for 1937 ford spindles. Thanks Mike

Installing a Posies front spring in my 37 ford. I have the assembled axle w / spring raised up into the front crossmember, but I think I might be missing something. It appears that I only have 2 flat bars to bolt to the 2 front crossmember ubolts. These will not tighten down on the spring...

I noticed the other day my pedal seems to engage the brakes lower then before. Car has no wheel cylinder or master cylinder leaks and has been driven a few thousand miles since I did the brakes. I am guessing I need to adjust the shoes or possibly the master cylinder push rod. How do you...

James Peterson did my 39 voltage regulator. I have run it for three years without a hitch. He did a super nice job. My car only has 50k on it so we did not re-plate it. Looks perfect!!

I think the springs on my car are worn out. I have never done a front spring swap. What’s the easiest way to do it. Sounds like dropping the front axle and spring is the best option. Then use a spreader to remove the spring??

Is the Posies 2040 spring the correct spring for a 1937 ford. Looking to drop the front end and want to install a reverse eye spring.

Still wondering if anyone has any info on how to route the headlight harness on my 1937 once it leaves the end of the steering box Looks like it might make sense for it to go between front cross member and frame and then across bottom of radiator. The part I am not sure about is at crossmember...

I need 2 1939 ford drums that can be turned. My 37 has 39 hydraulics and the rears are paper thin. Thanks Mike

Does anyone have any pics of how the headlight / horn harness routes after it comes off the steering box. My car has what looks like a bolted harness clip to the top frame rail. Just not sure on exactly how it gets routed after it leaves the steering box. Thanks Mike

Thanks for the info. You guys are spot on as always. The 1937 I just bought has had the brakes converted to 1939 hydraulics. It also has one of the tube shock conversion kits on it. It is missing one of these female type nuts. I will make some phone calls to try and locate one. I do have a...

Does anyone know of a vendor whom sells the original style bolts that hold backing plate to rear end. It’s a female style nut/bolt thing.

Does anyone have a set of these they would be willing to part with. I need two of the bolts and one of the nuts

Thanks for the advice I am 48 years old. I grew up around the early ford v8 crowd going to shows with my dad. He is 78 years old now and still loves these cars. I have a 39 ford that is all original and in tip top shape. I bought this 37 off ebay as a non running older restoration. Figured...

Where do I get a mechanical gauge?? Trying to learn to work on these things.
