The filler neck on my '30 original radiator is damaged and needs to be replaced. Since the originals are crimped on and soldered, how is that done?

The hole in the rear bearing cap is 1/8-27 NPT. The tubes sold by the vendors are 3/8-32 UNF.. Should they be the same?

I currently have the thin stainless steel covered wire and a Nurex look-a-like pop out switch. For a more authentic appearance I purchased one of these short cables. https://modelastore.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=4147&search=Ignit&category_id=0 I'm thinking about cutting...

I'm brushing on Bill Hirsch engine green. Should the machined area around the intake and exhaust ports be painted?

Someone in the past used a square head pipe plug in the side of the block. It was in there tight and needed a good heft with a wrench to remove it . In the process the very end of the plug broke off. After dropping the pan, the oil pump will not come out. Presumably the end of the plug is...

The front motor mount stud is not centered side to side in the hole in the cross member. Because of the offset, the smaller diameter of the bronze bushing will not seat in the hole by less than 1/4". Can I use a small bottle jack between the frame and the front of the motor to push it over 1/4"...

I picked up several boxes of parts today. Included were these wind wings. Anybody know what they fit?

I picked up several timing gear covers today. Two of them are like the top one in the picture and one is the lower one. Looking at Vince Falters site it looks like a '28 cover. Is this only for the fixed front mount or can it be used with the yoke mount?

Anybody have a measured drawing of '30 Front Spring Hanger/Shackle? Particularly interested in length of shoulder on shaft compared to Snyders repro shackles. Thanks

I'm looking for someone knowlegable about Model As near Williamsburg, VA to straighten a front axle. It's in reasonably good shape but while I have the front end dissasembled I'd like to have it tweaked to spec. The truck frame/front end shops around here are not interested.

After cleaning out years of old grease, this is what I have. What do I need to rebuild it? The deteriorated layered paper gasket/seal(?) was at the bottom of the barrel. Is that suppose to be there?

Has anyone attempted to use the scroll window handles and the escutcheons sold by Brattons? The handles are too big for the hole in the escutcheon. I called them and they told me they are aware of this. Furthermore, they're not sure which part is incorrect. All they could say is that based...

I have a 30 coupe and I need to install backer plates under the sub rails for mounting the outer front seat seat belts. I've seen comments that you can just slide the backer plates in from the opening in the rear wheel well and then thread a bolt in from a hole drilled in the sub rail. Maybe...

What's the quality of the repros?

Does anyone have a measured drawing of the lower section of the shift lever? I have a machinist rebuilding one to original specs.

I'm installing 2 piece copper manifold gaskets. I've done this a number of times but it never occurred to me if it matters which side goes against the block. One side is formed slightly different than the other. Does it matter?

In this video, Paul uses Permatex Red RTV Sealant for the manifold gasket. Any of you do this? I did cringe watching him put 45ft.lbs. on manifold nuts. https://youtu.be/ylGWKvNvbmU

The end of the rods are worn and no longer fit snug in the recess (2 flat sides and 2 rounded sides) of the interior door handle. Because of this the handle will not stay tight. For the very small amount of material that needs to be added, welding and filing down seems extreme. I thought...
