Thanks for the response Jim!!

Any T experts out that can confirm all '26-'27 closed car and roadster firewalls are the same?

Guys, I just got a real '26-'27 T Roadster body that is missing the firewall, I was told that a '26-'27 coupe or sedan firewall would fit but wanted to verify before I go to the effort of removing it from a coupe cowl in the junk yard. Can anyone verify? Thanks

Found a local guy that does about 12 a year, thanks

Unfortunately I am not, I know Sammy at Arizona Model A and he thought a guy named Troy Jonahs was building them but that was the only lead he had.

Guys, The late '32-'34 rear axle in my '32 coupe is really howling at speeds over 50 mph under acceleration and deceleration too so I would like to hear any recommendations for a trusted re-builder that if familiar with these early Ford Banjo style rear axles??? Any suggestions or...

Guys, I am looking for 32 clutch arm to use on the '39 transmission in my '32 roadster. I would prefer an original but a repro would work. Please let me know what you have that is reasonable.

BTT...still looking??? I know someone has one on the shelf that needs a good home

Well, I actually got lucky with the help of the Ford Barn and the torques tube and driveshaft had already been cut down to work in a '32 Ford, 53" 3/8 length on the tube, installed the engine and transmission last weekend and it fit perfectly.

Has any body used a good gasket sealer on the outside lip on the back side where the torque tube U joint cover mated with the torque tube? I have a shortened '34 torque tube and the speedo location makes it almost impossible to get that cork gasket into that groove.

Guys, I bought a used 4 cylinder radiator a few months ago that the core is junk so I need a good used one that has been pressure checked and doesn't need a new core, Please let me know if you have one for a reasonable price since I already bought a useless one, Thanks for letting me know what...

So the cork gasket kinda presses between the torque tube clam and the U joint cover portion when they bolt together? Could I use some gasket sealer instead of the cork because that is going to be a pain to hold it in place. Just trying to get a visual before I install the engine/transmission...

I don't see a groove in either of these to install the cork gasket like I would in the later style clam shell post '35 and newer clam shell.

Found one, thanks!
