The 30-31 Deluxe Roadster windshield chrome wiper motor mounts on the frame using a bracket and the wiper blade shaft is on top of the frame. When I put down the car top, I snapped off the wiper shaft. The motor has two small screws on the top by a “face plate” that you see when looking at it...

During a recent 1300 mile trip from Idaho to Northern California and back through Oregon the door striker on my 30 roadster jammed in the latch and I had to get out of the car on the passenger side. In order to get the door open we stuck a screwdriver into the latch and applied pressure. The...

1930 roadster I recently installed new bonded brake shoes and cast iron drums. I bought the drums and shoes from Randy Gross in So. Cal. Randy fits the shoes to the drums. In our area there are a lot of round a bouts at intersections. As I am driving in the round a bout turning to the left, I...

A friend of mine recently drove to the Florida Keys from Idaho in one of his Model A’s. While coming home in Arkansas he experienced failure of inner tubes that he had purchased through Coker when he had also replaced tires before his trip. He had taken spare tubes with him but quickly found...

I bought a 30 roadster with a rear mounted spare and a luggage rack and trunk. Attempted to remove the spare from the mount and there is not enough room to pull the tire out of the space without having to remove the trunk and the rack. The rack is chrome with wood slats. The vendors sell...

1930 CCPU I have no lights or horn. The truck does start and run. Two days ago I installed an older brand new wire harness from Snyders that I have had for several years and the headlight wires and horn wires were about 4-6 inches short so I had to splice additional wires onto the harness. I...

Starting to put together a basket case 30 CCPU. As I look at the door edge I am trying to understand how to attach the hinges. I see three holes instead of something to thread the screws into. I was going to install lock washers and nuts inside the door but it looks that might interfere with...

Getting ready to install rear fenders on a 30 closed cab pickup. The metal spacers are on the bed but I seem to recall there was a wood block about 3/4” thick 6” long and about 2 “ tall between the fender and the bed as well? Is this right? or am I wrong? If there should be a block does...

Putting together a ccpu that came to me unassembled. I am getting ready to mount the cab and the bed. I have a couple of questions. I have seen discussions that the webbing is run the entire length of the frame and I have seen discussions that it only goes to the end of the cab. I have been...

I keep reading on here about engine stands such as the ones sold by Berts, or Snyders that bolt to the side of the motor. I have read that is has on the bottom of the mount a flat piece that lays on top of the oil pan rail. Do the screws with the mount thread into the oil pan screw holes? Does...

Saw a post that was made several years ago that talked about ARP head bolts that were a better bolt for length, straightness, etc. I looked at the ARP Bolt web site and I did not find a kit for the Model A motors. Does anybody know if they still make kits available? Thanks guys.

By any chance does anybody have a set of original windwing brackets for a 30 Deluxe Roadster ? I need to replace the reproduction brackets.

I was given one of the oil filter kits for the Model A. It did not come with a filter so I am hoping someone here can tell me which filter it uses? Does anyone use a smaller filter than the normal large filter? Thank you

I have one of the Spin On Oil Filter kits on a motor I will be putting in my CCPU project. I also found an adaptor to change the filter from a horizontal position to a vertical position. The adaptor is a Ford oil filter mount #97JM6884AA. I know others have used this adaptor. The adaptor...

I bought new oil pan cork gaskets from Snyder’s. Part #A-6781-C On the front of the package there is a label that says they are Self Sealing. Use of any additional sealer will damage the gaskets. The motor is in the car and I was going to use permatex, contact cement etc. to glue the...

I bought a Mitchell Transmission for my Model A so my wife and grandkids can drive the car easier. We installed the transmission today and started the car to test the new transmission. It would not shift between 2nd or third. I decided to pull the shifting tower off the top to look inside...

I am trying to find the loop brackets (hooks) for the Top Straps that hold down the top of a 30-31 Deluxe Roadster when it is folded down behind the seat. The hooks hook around the grab rails on the roadster. If you have a set you no longer need with or without straps please contact me. Chuck

I have a motor that the front motor mount yoke bolt leaks oil. It is on the left side as you look at the motor. I am going to put some thread sealer on the 1/2 x 13 x 1 1/8” bolt but was surprised when I saw oil. I am wondering if all if these holes go into the block deep enough to leak? Or...

I purchased a car that was recently converted to 12 volt. The horn does not work. Possibly it is still 6 volt? I tried adding a resistor that I bought from Snyders. Is there a process how to test if it is wired 6 volt or 12 volt? Is there a kit to convert it? Where do I start? Any help...

Trying to figure out the size of the screws that hold the back cushion to the lid? I think they must be 12/24 ?
