The above were quoted from an old thread regarding "Front Axle Staightening"[sic]. The background: A section cut out of a road for sewer piping was temporarily filled with, primarily, tar over a very hot weekend, which caused the tar to be soft. By the time I got to it, the tar had sunk and...

Looking for a video or article to help me determine how to replace the weatherstriping & glass in my '31 roadster windshield; from how to remove the windshield frame from the stanchions, to how to disassemble the frame and glass, and putting it all back together - preferably without damaging...

Thinking about replacing the windshield glass in my '31 Roadster, has an image etched into the glass of the wiper sweep that is distracting in bright sun and night driving. A local glass supplier has the following offerings: - Clear - Original Green Tint - Green Tint with Shade Band - Custom...

Did my best to search and didn't find what I was looking for (but did spend 2 hours looking at other things the search brought forth ;)) Anyone buy one of the new USA-made ahooga horns from any of the suppliers? I believe all the suppliers are selling the same ones - from A & L Parts Wondering...

I ordered some new 1 bulb headlight sockets from one of the vendors. When I received them, the packages were marked 1 bulb headlight socket; but, the packages contained the 2 bulb headlight socket. The vendor said just cut and remove the parking bulb socket & wire and it's essentially the same...

As to not hijack the 'Oil Pan Leak' thread... I searched "oil pan drain" and "oil pan removal" and got 2 threads on each search related to my question, but not completely answering my questions. When I replaced the oil drain plug after the last oil change - the insert the plug threads into...

If anyone has a phone # for Steve - please call him and ask him to check his email - have something to ship to him and the day's running out and I need some additional info... Thanks in advance

Curious about a 1931 'A' advertised as a Town Sedan. The pictures I was sent - particularly of the interior - give me pause. Posted as a Murray 160B. Wedgewood Green & Black. Rear mount spare with accessory trunk. The rear seat does not have side or center armrests; no pull cord on the rear...

After spending a fair amount of time (probably more than I should have...) reviewing various threads on front end work and not finding a 'guideline' (for lack of a better term) to follow if attempting to inspect, and rebuild as necessary, all the components of the front end - I put together an...

FWIW - wanted to share a disappointment with Thompson's Garage (.com). I was looking for wheel cylinders for 39-48 hydro brakes since I had one fail on my 'A' roadster. I looked around and on their website the pictures of the cylinders clearly indicated 'USA' (see attached). So even though...

Got conflicting information from various sources... Marco indicated the driver's side is supposed to drilled with a nut on the inside of the stanchion, as I found on mine. I asked him because I was taking the driver's side mirror off to check the thread and discovered there is a nut that...

May be a bit off topic - except that the spare tire cover in the link rode on the back of our '31 Roadster back in the day (so we were told) and again when father-in-law had the car in the late 60's... Apparently a unique cover... who knew... I almost threw it away because of the tears...

How difficult should it be to move the third brush of the '31 generator? I know if it's been a while, it might be stuck - so let's not assume that. Say it's a typical generator that someone may; on a somewhat regular basis; change the charging rate to normally be for daytime (no lights) use...

Searched and didn't find specific answers... I took my gas shut off out and per the procedure several Barners helped me with, I lapped the innards, put in new packing. The initial test indicated it worked. After re-installing (with the finger filter installed), before hooking the gas line to...

I got an interesting email today from Bratton's... I had questioned them on the aluminized headlight reflectors they sell - if they were the correct parabolic shape as the originals... They wrote back: "Not correct now, but we have approved samples of ones we are having made from Ford print...

Learned a valuable lesson at a local swap meet Sunday... carefully look over everything you decide is what you think is what you're looking for... I picked up a box with headlight reflectors that appeared to be one bulb reflectors for my '31 that had all of the silver gone (reflectors were a...

In several threads (none of which I could find by searching - sorry...) comments were made, in relation to 12v conversion, where a response said: '... no need to convert your whole system to 12v to run a GPS or cellphone charger - they only take 5 volts ...' While taking only 5 volts is true -...

I've searched headlight, reflector, Twolite and combinations thereof and haven't found what I'm hoping for. Does anyone have a 'exploded' diagram of all the pieces and parts of the '31 headlight system for a car with cowl lights - lens all the way back to the focusing screw, that they would be...

Specifically - the rubber vacuum hose that comes off the lower end of the chrome windshield line - that goes into the car. There is one hole directly below the stanchion and another hole just to the right... pics attached (not very good quality...). I cannot easily determine if the hole below...

Anyone know where to get the radiator cap mounted, 5 flag holder (or have one you're willing to sell). First pic is from Bert's in Denver website - ordered it only to find out it was discontinued, but not removed from the site; apparently the supplier has passed away). Second pic is Great...
