What are the rear body block dimensions for a late 30 coupe? Mine rattle around like BBs in a tin can(no offense:D).

What is the correct ID for the rear spring perch? The new bushings I have measure .75 in. OD. which is considerably larger than the .69 in OD front bushings. I looked everywhere but the right place and cannot find the correct ID perch measurements. The reason I ask is that will have to drill...

Is there any general guidance about how long and which metals or Model A components can safely be given the home electrolysis treatment? I am about to put my rear fenders in the soup and don't want to do more harm than good.

I just bought a Modern Model A Shock Kit, used, from the swap section. I was thinking I could use these until I saved enough pennies for the real deal. However, the kit appears to be missing the connection from the lower end of the rear shock to the ? axel, original shock attachment?, sky...

What is the proper seat back attachment for a 30 coupe? My seat is backed by plywood which is screwed to the wood frame between the trunk and passenger compartment. A picture would be helpful if there is one handy.

I thought I had a straight up 30 Std. Coupe but the further we get into it the more I question that assumption. The engine is Aug '29, the 45B body is late '30 with a 29 deck lid. Interior panels are deluxe while the seat shows standard fabric. Bumper clamps were a mix of 29/30. One set of...

Does anyone have advice on attaching the repo stainless covers on the bumper clamps. There is very little slack on the crimping tabs and the clamp is smaller than the cover. Late '30 vintage.

Does anyone have a schematic for a 6 to 12 Volt Voltage Booster Positive Ground Converter? It seems like something that could be wired up at home. Maybe?

The kid and I are mystified. How does the rear spare tire carrier (late 30 coupe) attach in the large hole at the top and what hardware is used?

A couple of days back I noted a promotion to Senior Member. Unless it is a nod to my age this new status is certainly unearned. All of this is to say Thanks to the "Master Members" of this board who keep the Model A fleet in correct working order. Thanks guys. There is no telling how many...

Sometime in the last 80 years someone affixed a metal plate over the soft top opening on my car. Top restoration is one of those to-do's, but way, way in the future. Meanwhile I would like a more authentic look by gluing the fabric to the top. Has anyone tried this and what type of glue was...

The kid found this in a junk pile yesterday. It is marked "Duolamp" on the license plate bracket. Was Duolamp exclusive to Ford?

A few months back someone posted a drawing of a homemade dust collector made of PVC pipe. I've searched every term and combination I can think of but can't pull up the thread. Can someone help me locate that thread? Thanks.

I have a neighbor who insists chrome dipping is just as good as chrome plating for my bumpers and much cheaper. I've never heard of the process. Any thoughts?

We are just finishing a running gear rebuild and there were no shocks when we started and there are none now. Did we miss something? Were the cars (30 Std Coupe) sold with shocks or was that an after market item?

Are the bumper end bolts pressed in or do I just need a bigger hammer?

When we started the car yesterday the number three cylinder was missing. It was quickly obvious the spark plug wire was sitting close enough to the distributor body that the spark was jumping to the body. A quick bend of the wire resolved the problem but raised a couple of questions. Why...

Is this a Model A horn? It sounds right and looks about right but it is mechanical rather than electric. It appears to have a bracket for a bolt on attachment. It works but the return spring carrier is broken and has to be reset manually. The only legible inscription on the tag is "R-10"...

Does anyone have a picture of a Model A with a US Forest Service decal on the side. CCC trucks might show the same insignia.

I am confused by the drawings.....is there a thin washer that goes under the distributor cam screw and lock washer or does it go under the bottom of the cam itself? There was none in either position when I took it apart and there is no such animal included in my "Deluxe Distributor Hardware...
