"Amber" alert!!! Well, I thought I had solved the constantly-on brake and taillight situation in a 1930 Roadster I am trying to straighten out. I replaced the incorrect brake pedal rod with one that has the flat stopper to push on the brake switch's plunger. After adjusting its throw to turn the...

We have decent side panels, but somehow the top panels didn't make it in the purchase. 'Don't want dented panels or broken/rusted hinges. No rust pitting in the metal, either. Needing minor body work o.k. Thanks in advance. Marshall

I phoned in an order this morning and was told Snyder's had everything on my wish list except the main item and the reason I was placing the order in the first place. Without that part (A-3440-S, Radius Ball kit), the other parts on my list would not be needed. The order taker at Snyder's said...

I'm 77 with an irreparable torn rotator cuff, a knee replacement, one heart stent, double glaucoma, a bulging lower spine disk and a hangnail. Yet this morning I had to move a rebuilt Model A short block from the lower level of our two-story carriage house to the upper level to install it in a...

We need the Float-O-Motor aluminum yoke and rectangular rubber block that supports the back of the transmission to the center crossmember. 'Can't buy these parts separately and we don't need the whole kit. Surely someone out there has a broken-up F.O.M. set with this yoke that he/she/it doesn't...

Looking for a new or very good used two-tooth steering sector without gouges in the teeth or telltale wear where the shaft rides on the bushings. This is for the standard USA left-hand drive. Thanks! Marshall

As the header reads, we need a 4" x 3" or larger piece of top material to patch a hole in a 1926 Touring top. The attached photo shows the type of black material needed. It is NOT the long-short grain material used in Model A tops. Rather it is a pimply, grainy material. Anybody out there got a...

As the header says, we need a lid for the engine-mounted 1926-27 Model T coil box. We prefer an original one, not a repo. Only a lid with unbroken spring clamps is desired. Thanks! Marshall (563) 322-1319

I don't know if these front bow clamps (that go down over the tips of the windshield posts) fit earlier open cars, as well. But we need a pair with thumb screws for a 1926 Touring. Thanks! (563) 322-1319 Marshall

I don't know if these front bow clamps (that go down over the tips of the windshield posts) fit earlier open cars, as well. But we need a pair with thumb screws for a 1926 Touring. Front bow clamps from a 1928-29 open car will also work. Thanks! Marshall (563) 322-1319

Actually, TWO questions... (1) 1929 Murray Town Sedan: the interior kit instructions specify that the front door windlace is to be installed down the front edge of the door. When I do this, the door is all but impossible to close without slamming it from the outside. No way could someone pull...

For you 1929-early 1931 three-window Fordor and Town Sedan owners: Which way should the door lock knob on the inside door panel point in the unlocked position? I know it points downward, but at the unlocked position, should it point to the 5:00 or 7:00 position? It will fit either way. I have...

If you have been following the never-ending saga I started two weeks ago about repairing a light switch rod's functionality, you will also recall that the ahooga horn was on its last legs when I tested the repaired rod (which ultimately broke off). We bit the bullet and ordered a new light...

I added this to the long thread I started about a light switch problem I was having. I think this posting is buried too deep in that thread, which people are probably sick and tired of reading by now. So, I am starting this new thread in the hope that more people will see it and possibly supply...

As I have posted many times before, electrical issues are not my strong suit. 'Been my Waterloo for years working on cars. I just don't "get" how electricity works in practical applications. Do you know anyone who flunked 8th Grade Electricity Shop? Well, you do NOW!!! Anyway, see if I am...

Were they already cut at a 45 degree angle or did you have to reface them upon delivery? I ask because it turns out that the valves in my friend's Victoria engine are too worn, rust-pitted from heat and minus any margins to be reused. So, new stainless steel valves will be ordered Monday. I just...

I'm installing seat belts in a Town Sedan with bench seats and am at a crossroads for which way to orient the belt ends. Maybe it's just a tempest in a teapot, but do most guys put the thick receptacle end on the inside or outside of the seat, and does this repeat itself for the other front seat...

A friend has asked me to fix a flopping seat back in his late 1931 Vicky. It's the driver's side, the one that slides on a track. I need to remove the seat from the car in order to pull back the upholstery and find out why the inboard arm is flopping around behind the upholstery, as if its...

...for a 1929 Town Sedan. Interior vendors do not include this in their kits and I don't see them offered separately in parts catalogs. It's basically a thick cord wrapped in matching upholstery material suspended between two chrome or nickeled domed housings. Does anyone know of a supplier for...
