    New Trailer

    Cloth top for Rumble seat.

    On page 161 of the 2012 Brattons catalog there are Ford factory photos. One of the photos shows a Sprot Coupe with what apperas to be a second cloth top over the rumble seat. Does anyone know if this was a factory accessory? Has anyone ever seen one? The picture number is 38530. I wonder if...

    Registration

    I went and registered my A today with my 1929 plates and it cost me 28 dollars and expires in the year 2050. Don't know if I can afford this car at these prices. LOL. I told my 9 year old grandaughter that went with me that she will have to register it the next time it's due because I will be...

    Chocolate Wheel Bearing

    I got a big box of parts that I ordered from Snyders today and when I was checking off the parts with the invoice I came across a box that said Timken Tapered Roller Bearings. I know I didn't order any bearings so I thought is was put in my order by mistake. I opened the box which is a real...

    Are the spring spreaders that Snyders sells good enough for the do-it-yourself mechanic?

    Lean to the left

    My A has a slight lean to the drivers side. Can the springs be turned around to compensate for the lean where the weak side of the spring would now be on the right side or should I just plan on replacing the springs with new ones. The car sits about an inch lower on the left than the right. I...

    Battery Tender

    This may be a stupid question but I want to hook up a 6 volt batterytender to my battery but I'm not sure if I should hook it up with the battery connected to the car or should I remove the battery cables then hook it up. The reason I ask is because of the positive ground on the Model A. Will...

    Airmaze

    Well I decided to remove my new airmaze. The car ran good at low speed but would not at higher speed no matter what I did with the GAV. I guess Mr. Ford knew what he was doing when he did not install an air filter on these cars. It just hard to change my mind set about air filters. The car runs...

    Auto-lite heater

    Anybody know where I can get a pair of the mounting clamps that hold the auto-lite heater to the manifold. I currently have it mounted with large screw type hose clamps wraped around the manifold and heater body. It works but looks tacky. The originals just go sround the manifold and have a bolt...

    Brake light switch

    My brake light stopped working today so I checked the wiring up to the switch and I had power up to it but not through it. The switch has a metal cover over it held by four metal tabs. I pryed the tabs up and was able to open the switch and found some minor corrision on the contacts. I took my...

    I had forgotten that the Model A has open igniton wires and today I was doing some last minute cleaning of the engine with a shop rag while the engine was Ideling. My rag touched the bare spark plug wire and lit me up like a christmas tree. It caused an involuntary jerking of my knee which...

    Well it happend to me today, the dreaded bendix bolt dropping into the flywheel housing. I took my own advice and did a search of this site before asking the question and came up with some great ideas, but alas none of them worked. I was feeling depressed when I remembered that I had one of...
