I buy a radiator some time ago at a swamp meet and the cap is not the standard one. It was made in USA and the threads are 2 1/2 in diameter.
Someone can tell me if a cap is available?
Regards.
Thanks for all your advices, i will stay with model A brakes on the rear and the splitted wishbone must clear the brakes rods. Luckily the front brake drums i got seems excellents, a precision 12 inch ruler didn't fit into the drums.
Regards.
I have in hand a model B 4 cylinder engine and transmission and 12 inch mechanical brakes for the 4 wheels i want to put on a model A frame.
I have a model A brake shaft already modified with 2 levers and i can get a B brake shaft for cheap.
If i cut the wishbone and fit it on the side rails...
Finally i buy a diamond B block from a barn find BB truck.
A bird nest in the exhaust manifold, squirrel nuts in the water pump but no cracks on the block. Pistons are nominal size, need oversize pistons and fresh cut of the valve seat and after ready to go. Not cheap but at least this one have...
The worst is i trade this corroded B block for a working A engine. The smart guy event put grease on the camshaft so i will not see it was pitted.:mad: I have some A blocks and many parts to build a good one anyway. Regards.
Good luck to save it, i found an other rusted block for cheap and everything was seized. After two weeks in the electrolysis bath i was able to move the camshaft a little bit but i broke the block trying to unseized the tappets. It is thin at this place.:(
