I've purchased a top from Classtique a number of months ago and I'm having many issues with fitting this top. Does anyone have photos or more detailed instructions for a 1929 Cabriolet top? Nothing online for a cabriolet that I can find. For one thing the rear bow should be 13 5/8" high, not...

I'm in the process of replacing the top on my 29 Cabriolet and was wondering if the side window flap goes over the glass when the glass is raised. It looks like in all the photos I've seen online the flap is behind the glass which to me defeats the purpose of the flap sealing the glass. I know...

I'm looking for a good right front fender for my Early 1928 Tudor restoration. I live in Eastern Canada but willing to pay for shipping for a decent fender. I've attached a photo of the type of fender I'm looking for.

I was wondering if anyone knows who makes a proper standard window handle for the 1928 Model A tudor.The handle should be smooth including the knob.All the repos are fine except they have a raised centre portion on the knob.It would've been just as easy to make this smooth as it should be.The...

I have a couple of questions(not that this matters in the big scheme of things) but just curious. Upon removing the interior from my Early 28 Tudor (Canadian) I found these original deadening panels for the rear of the "A". Attached are photos of them placed exactly where they...

I was wondering if when you reinstall the seven tooth steering shaft should I be able to turn it easily by hand before putting the steering wheel on? I've had the worm replaced and since that the shaft seems tight.Then I installed the lower steering wheel bushing and impossible to turn by...

I'm wondering what is the recommended way to remove an old steering worm and install a new one.My machinist doesn't have acetelene and the steering rod is too long to put in his press.He tried removing it otherwise and it only moved an 1/8" of an inch. The steering worm is out of my Early 28...

I've cleaned and dried up my PH bearings (with paint thinner)and they seem tight but what should I relubricate them with? I know there is at least the front sealed bearing available but if I don't need to buy one why bother.

Hi: Does anyone have a good radiator (new or used) which I can buy for my 28 Tudor restoration? I'm from Prince Edward Island, Canada so hopefully I can source one in Canada as shipping that large of an item from US can be very costly. However if I can find one in US reasonable enough I...

Hi: I've checked out the forums for proper clearance between the pressure plate finger and top of the pressure plate collar which seems to be 5/8". (Mine is currently 1/2") When looking at the pressure plates people were using they all seem to have the solid finger type as opposed to the...

Hi: I'm changing from my original multiple clutch(too much wear) to a single clutch in my full restoration of a Canadian June 1928 Tudor. I've already obtained a new clutch housing,pedals,transmission and clutch/pressure plate assembly. There seems to be some confusion on whether I need to...

Hi: I''m looking for the first solid brake shaft used with the left side emergency lever. It is item number A-2485-ER. As you can see in the attached photo it is the same as the one used later however it has an extra clevis for the left E Lever. If you have any leads let me know otherwise I'll...

Hi: In cleaning and inspecting my AR brake shoes I notice there is considerable wear on the anchor points (top and bottom) of the shoes.Does anyone know the proper thickness of these anchor points and how to repair them? I was thinking of getting someone to build them up and then regrind to the...

Hi: When removing the backing plates on my early 28 tudor I noticed the grease baffles had the open part towards the backing plate as opposed to when I look at photos in the tech books and catalogues the open part is towards the drum. i.e. flat part against the backing plate. Which way is correct?

Hi: I'm reinstalling my rear spring after cleaning it up,adding a thin rubber cushion between it and the frame. The centre bolt goes right up into the hole of the frame but the original u-bolts won't tighen within 1/4" of the frame.Seems odd since I'm using the same amount of leaves and...

Is there an easy way to line up the rods as you install them in the column? It seems near impossible to get them in the bottom holes.I tried using a wire threaded through the hole at the bottom of the rod but of course there is no room in the column hole for both the wire and rod ! I have the...

My early (June) 28 Tudor that I'm restoring has a front spring with twelve leafs in it.There were no shocks on thew car before I dismantled it so I'm guessing this was done to stiffen the ride. Would it be advisable to remove a couple of leafs since I'm installing new shocks? I'm concerned with...

Hi: I'm curious why in Les Andrews red book he mentions to make sure you remove the ring at the bottom of the fuel adjustment body before installing it in the carburetor.It doesn't seem to interfere with anything. What is the reason why this should be done?
