I saw this at a swap meet Sunday. Ford accessory rear wiper kit #8A-18387-A. Never heard of this, but I'm not a shoebox guy. Anyone ever seen or have one of these? Bob G.

Did you see this Zephyr? https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/cars-for-sale/lincoln/zephyr/1895576.html?refer=blog

What is the proper orientation for this part that attaches the stab. bar to the perch pin? When I took apart my front end it was as shown in the attached picture. I've since seen pictures with them switched side to side & turned over (19fordys for example). Other searches show both ways. What's...

Does anyone have a r/h mirror that actually works? My 40 came with the cowl mount mirrors. Drivers side is useable, Pass side you can't even see from the drivers seat. Also got one of the clamp on "peep" mirrors that goes on the upper door frame but it won't adjust in far enough to see down the...

An interesting article about KR Wilson & his tools. http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2014/07/07/k-r-wilson-tools-interview-with-collector-tim-hill/?refer=news

I decided to replace the rubber fuel line (fuel pump to hard line on firewall) on my 40 deluxe since I had a new one that came with the car when I bought it. The line from the tank to firewall had been replaced by the prev. owner & ends with a tube nut & ferrule . This fit the old fuel pump hose...

Need some help replacing the heater motor to switch wiring on my 40 Deluxe hot water heater with a 46-48 switch. Got the new harness & opened up the motor, I'd previously tested the motor & it ran fwd & reverse. The new wiring has to be soldered into the motor & the brush wires are easily...

I just found a heater for my 40, so now starts the test & rebuild process. I've got a few questions I need help with: 1) The mounting bolts were torched off-how long should they be? 2) It's missing the spacer sleeves that go on those bolts. How long are they? 3) I've seen heater pictures...

I'm putting a dropped axle in my '40, got the axle/spring/wishbone assy out of the car, but I don't have a spring spreader so I need help with front spring & then perch pin removal. Any shops in the Everett to Mount Vernon area with experience @ this? Thanks, Bob

My '40 was missing the 01a-8434 lower grille plate (or Ford calls it a spacer) that attaches the grille louver panels & chin pan together @ the bottom. It then bolts to the radiator lower shield. Does the 8434 plate mount to the very bottom of the grille side panels & chin or above the...

I'm installing new stainless grille trim bead (O1A-8182) that goes between the grille & louvered panels on each side. How are you guys fastening these? I see the originals were stapled & the black beading I took out was just pinched between grille & side panel. Pop rivets? Contact cement...

Or other interested parties. I thought I remembered from Kube's instructions for aligning front sheet metal that there should be a bolt (apron to frame) in the hole forward of the brake line bracket. Last night I was looking @ the Early V8 Club Forums 1940 section (great stuff) & saw that same...

I recently had to remove my radiator to get a small leak repaired & noticed the rad. was mounted with the springs between the frame & rad. brackets. I remembered seeing posts that said this wasn't correct & the spring should be on top of the rad. bracket with the rubber pad between frame &...

I want to install the missing radiator to inner fender braces (91a-8046) on my '40, but i'm not sure how it bolts to the radiator. The rad. has a "keyhole" slot on each side so I figured a carriage head bolt was the ticket. Problem is, on the hardware store c.h. bolt the square part under the...

Philco or Zenith? How do you tell the diff.?

Anyone know the size/shape of the speaker for a stock '40 radio?

I'd like to move the front seat of my 40 4dr back about 3" to get a little more leg room. I don't like drilling new holes if I don't have to, so I was thinking of a plate or angle iron drilled to bolt to the existing holes in the floor & bolting the seat to those 3" back. Have any of you done...

Ok, I've been reluctant to post this for fear of sounding like a dumb-a**, but here goes. I've done clutches & trannys on later models, but this is my first go-round with the flathead & closed driveline. Is it normal to have clearance problems r&r-ing the trans? There doesn't seem to be enough...
