Rather than pay a small fortune (exchange, shipping, duty, etc) for a ratchet nut wrench that the vendors sell, I bought a 1-3/8" combination wrench with the intention of heating and bending it to fit. I test fit in on a spare engine and found it to be a very loose fit, although it will just...

I know there are tons of threads on brakes but I couldn't find and answer to my specific question. I have a '39 M/Cyl with '42 brakes and a Bob Drake repro pedal assembly. All wheels are adjusted with slight drag and the pedal has about the right free play, but possibly could be tighter. The...

I noticed today that Cartouche is advertised on the MAFCA website. I thought Mac's closed them down long ago. What gives? Just checked again and it didn't show up, but does after refreshing the page a few times. Must be some random left-over advertising within their website.

I have what appear to be 1940-48 style front brakes with hubs on the outside of the drums, which I believe are original style. I bought these used for my Model A so I don't know the exact year. One of the wheel studs became loose and had to be drilled out and replaced so I bought a #51A-1107...

I want to paint my car Andalisite blue so I took the NEW paint and finish guide to my PPG dealer to scan the colour chip. They look for the closest match to a more modern car’s colour. The only one that came up was a 2005 Mitsubishi dark grey but it was not a high percentage match. They mixed a...

I have been looking for small 16" tires for the front of my AV8 project. Most are quite expensive but I just noticed that Coker has Maxxis Taxi 175R16 tires for much less. They appear to be made for British taxis. They are about the same size as 550R16. Has anybody here used these?

I just spent the better part of 2 days trying to remove the valves from an old frozen and gummed up 59A that I'm hoping to rebuild. What a messy and horrible job! I read a number of guides on how to do this, but they didn't help much. No amount of forcing, prying with a pickle bar or swearing...

I picked up a C69A block and after cleaning noticed some ripple-like lines on one side. Magnafluxing does not show these to be cracks, so I'm wondering if these are just irregularities in the casting. The side of the other bank is smooth. There is a short crack near the water pump mounting...

Jenny Mah of Vancouver is driving her '28 Phaeton on this rally. Here is an interesting time-lapse of the assembly of her car. You may gag when you see the wheels though. She had a little help from some of our club members. We wish her good luck. Hope the links below work...
