I read a post a few months ago on a special lug nut socket that someone made up to protect the paint on the wheels. Not sure it was on this forum. I printed it out & put in in my "pile file" on the desk. Looked all over today & can't find it. As I remember he put a socket in the lathe &...

This maybe in the wrong forum. I bought a metal trunk last week thinking about using it on my 31 Slant Window 160B. Got it home & it is too wide for my rack. The right lock wouldn't open & I had no key so I took it to the locksmith & had keys made. I can turn the right latch tumbler but it...

I have a stuck #2 cyl exhaust valve in my 31 Slant Window. I have the valve cover off & the plugs out. I put some Marvel Mystery Oil in the cyl. I also sprayed "Break Away" (penetrating oil) into the cyl, exhaust port, and thru the valve spring. The valve is stuck open & I am trying to pull...

Yesterday when I went to start my 31 S/W the starter motor locked up. I tried rocking the car in 1st gear but no help. I got the starter out today. Had to bang on the starter with rubber mallet to get it to move. The end bolt on the spring housing (?) is loose but in place by the tab washer...

I want to make up a Story board for my 1931 160B Slant window. I have looked thru my Lit & don't have a sales brochure. I would like to describe why the Slant Window was made & what are the features that make it different. I have a bookcase filled with Lit that came with the car but nothing...

The mirror that came with my car was damaged when I got the car. The silver on the back is coming off. This mirror is 5" long by 2 3/4" wide & beveled around all sides. I bought a new mirror but it was not the right size & my bracket would not clamp down on it. I looked in all the catalogs...

The rear bumper clamp on my 31 S/W was laying on the floor when I went out today. The stud had pulled out of the clamp. Not sure if its original or repo. It was on the car when I got it. It does have P.A stamped on the back side. The bend of the bumper bracket doesn't line up with the...

I am getting ready to get my 31 S/W (160B) pinstriped. I was at The Gilmore Museum on Sat & looked at about 4 different S/W car that were there. No 2 had the same pinstripe around the body & windows. I looked in the judging standards & all they say is pinstripe from the front of the hood...

I am finally reinstalling the far rear side panels in my 31 S/W. On the inside of the panel there is a metal bar about 1" wide screwed to the panel at the bottom. At the top is a slot that lines up with a screw hole on the window riser panel. The screw that was in there is a oval head screw...

I don't remember how the seat adjust spring is supposed to go on my 31 S/W. There are 2 holes in the back of the seat base that might be for the spring? Anyone have a picture of the assy installed

Does anyone know where I can get just the 4 washers that are needed to mount the brush holders. All the catalogs I looked at sell the brush holders & hardware as a kit. I have an intermittent short & my old washers aren't in the best shape. Would like to change them out.

I have 3 hubcaps (10 tab style) that most of the tabs are missing & the ones left are about to fall off. Is there any other way to mount the hubcaps on the wheel. This is going on a driver. 2 are for the spares & one for a wheel on the car. I do have a couple of the tabs that broke off

I am putting the old wire harness back in my 31 S/W. I looks like it has the wires for the turn signals, but they were not used. It had the Logo Light turn signals with separate wires. I marked most of the wires when I took it out 1 1/2 years ago but am missing the tags on some wires. It...

1931 S/W Fordor Had all new window glass made for car after garage fire. Old glass was delaminated & cracked. New glass was cut using old glass as pattern with warning it might not be right. Front door glass fits fine. Back door & rear 1/4 windows seem to be too tight in channel making it...

1931 S/W Fordor Which way does the bottom channel face to connect to the regulator arm. Does the lip of the slot face in (towards regulator) or out?

Anybody have a picture of where the A-40555-Cl Kick Panel Retaining Clips go. My old ones were rusted away & I don't have any pictures when I was taking the car apart. Car is S/W 160B I have the new clips but don't know what to do with them

I am rewiring my dome light on a 31 S/W Fordor. All the pictures I took taking everything apart don't show where the dome light wire was routed down to the terminal box. I must have thought it was a no brainer. I have the wire from the switch going across the top wood rail then thru the rails...

I got my car back from the painter and am starting to install parts. I tried pushing the door rubber bumpers back in the slots on the door pillers but not having a lot of luck getting them in. These are the same bumpers that the painter took out. Are there any tips to getting them back in the...

I removed the 2 right front door hinge pins because of looseness in the hinge. The body is at paint now so the complete hinge sets were removed. I was able to press one pin out using heat & the "C" style pin removal tool. The other pin would not move so I had to drill the center of the pin...
