Running late 40s original style backing plates on my 36 Roadster. About 2 years ago the drivers side parking brake level came off while driving the car. Destroyed the lever and both brake shoes. Repaired and replaced with original style parts. Today it almost happened again on the same wheel...

Today I removed one of my head bolts that was weeping a little coolant also installed new temp sending units in both heads. When I went to drain some coolant my project went South. This 36 Coupe is new to me so I was surprised to see it did not have a drain ****. In its place is a brass...

1935-36 Ford Transmission covers, Dick Spadaro reproductions. I know the original 35 and 36 have differences but think these were designed to fit either one. New Old Stock. I removed the cutout from the one to try it in my car but my floor pans are not original form so these covers won't fit...

I want to put 1956-57 Lincoln Hubcaps on my 1936 Ford Roadster. Currently running 1939 16" Wide Fives on 39 Hubs but I also have a set of 40 and later hubs with 5 on 5 1/2” bolt pattern and a set of 15" wheels for those, probably mid 1960s. My problem is 1) those hubcaps won't fit the 15" wheels...

This seems pretty simple but I'm about to bust a gasket trying to stop this leak on a new Master Cylinder in my 36 Roadster. This started with upgrading the 48 Ford front brakes to the Boling Brothers 39-48 kit. While I was at it, I replaced the master cylinder and used the original outlet...

I've installed the Boling Brothers Brake Kit on my 36 Ford Roadster. Replaced 48 Ford backing plates with the 39-48 Kit (picture 1). The brake shoe retaining springs sticks out slightly past the edge of the 1 3/4" brake shoes about 1/8" (picture 2). So the spring retainer interferes with the...

Installing a Columbia 2 Speed in my 36 which has dual Stromberg 97s. Have the carb adapter plate with vacuum port but what do I do with the second carb to keep them at the same height? Use a spacer or use a second adapter plate? If I use a second adapter plate should I just block the vacuum...

Reassembling my torque tube as part of a Columbia 2 Speed upgrade on my 1936 Roadster. When I disassembled, at the front of the torque tube where the speedo gear and roller bearing sit, as you can see in the picture, the lubrication appears to be a grease, but there is no grease fitting for...

I need a pair of these interior door trim pieces that fir around the edges of the door latches for a 1936 Ford Roadster. Not sure if its on other models. Thanks Mark

Replacing the leaky gasket on my fuel sending unit which by the way was homemade out roofing paper, and discovered another issue. Looks like the float arm was repaired at some point or maybe modified to work with this tank. Its' about 6 3/4" from where the arm attaches to float and where it...

So I’m mapping out a hodgepodge of wiring on my 36 Roadster with a plan to rewire. The car had one of those cheap 7 wire turn signal switches which did not work so I removed it. When I rewire I plan to use a Yankee 960 four wire switch. When I pulled the headlights to check the wiring I found...

I know about a million words have been written on this subject but here's the questions anyway. This past weekend I replaced my upper radiator hoses because the old ones were mismatched. I included a picture of the new ones which are the same 1.75" I.D. as the old ones. First drive afterward...

Trying to find replacement upper radiator hoses for my 36. Can anyone identify these? Can’t seem to find the same with any of the vendors. This hose is 1 3/4” I.D. like my radiator inlet. But the outlet on my Sharp aluminum heads is 2”. Not sure if this original hose was 1 3/4 at both ends...

Just purchased a pair of Dennis Carpenter Sill-Scuff Plates for my 36 Roadster which had none. These are supposed to fit 35-36 5 Window, Roadster, Phaeton and Fordor. As you can see from these picture I have a body bolt at the rear of the door sill on the body but not at the front, just smooth...

Looking for sections of a 36 floor pan from just in front of the seat to the toe board on both driver and passenger sides. I know I can buy complete repopped floor pans but would rather have just these sections if anyone out there has them as the rest of my floor is in good shape. MGM

Looking for a late 40's Columbia 2 Speed rear axle vacuum cannister. These were made from aluminum instead of the earlier years steel version. Media blasting revealed my steel one is toast and not usable. Mark

So I bought a set of replacement dash knobs for my 36 and have a problem with the one for the cigarette lighter. In the picture you can see the knob on the left connects to the element with a stud and the stud and knob are all one integrated piece. The replacement knob looks like it connects...

Looking for a K.R.Wilson ABV-156 tool for pulling rear wheel hubs. Just missed one on here recently so let me know if you can help. I have access to one with my local club and used parts seller but would be more convenient to have one in the tool box. Thanks Mark

Looking for 1935-36 Radio Head in good condition. Don't need the whole radio with tuner and cables. Looking for one to convert to AM/FM. Shoot me a note if you have one or know of one out there. Mark
