The clutch in my '31 started slipping this weekend. Slipped a couple of times in traffic and then a whole bunch more coming up a long hill in 3rd - revs were going up, car was slowing down. Made it to the top and it seemed OK for the rest of the mostly flat journey. Will adjusting the play on...

I seem to have a later generator with the ribbed aluminium front plate and ventilated rear plate. I've cleaned up and re-adjusted the cut out switch. Finally, I now have current, but it's too high even with the 3rd brush adjusted all the way up. As soon as I'm up to a normal driving speed, the...

I have a 31 model A generator that isn't generating. The car has been in a barn for decades and the generator has never worked for me. I suspect all kinds of issues within the generator itself, but thought I'd start with the cutout. I followed the "Restorer's Model A Shop Manual" by Jim Schild...

I'm putting my rear brakes back together and I'm finding that the backing plate bolts seem to be too long on both sides. The car appears to have been in a barn since the 60s until I bought it so I don't know how it rides or anything. So, maybe something is missing or maybe there are incorrect...

So, I've swapped a known good engine and trans from a 31 coupe into my 31 tudor. Fired it up for the first time last weekend and it idled way fast. The throttle was nowhere near the idle adjustment screw: With the hand throttle leaver disconnected at the column, it does return to the stop...

I've got a very tired, stock interior and I'm going to get it redone, but I need inspiration, so if you've got a nice/new/different interior in your Tudor, please post some photos. Thanks, Gary

I'm in the UK and I'm about to place an order with Snyders and I only want to pay one lot of shipping, so I need to get everything on the order. I'm trying to decide if my light switch connector needs to be replaced. I know that a replacement is only $58, but my order is pretty big already. I...

I have one original emergency brake return spring on the car, two new springs and no instructions. I figure the U shaped end goes around the lever, but where does the straight end go? The spring that's still on the car would indicate that it goes between the radius rod and the brake backing...

Help! I'm fairly new to this old stuff and this forum. So I have a 31 tudor with a desperate need for some brakes. It's been in a barn for who knows how long. One rear service brake rod was still attached to the car. So I buy a new set of rods. Fronts are no problem. Rears though aren't right...
