Should the grease seal for the tube type shock link look like this? Seems to me the hole in seal should be centered to the opening in the cup. In my case, the seal is an aftermarket part and the cup is original. Rich

Looking for at least six (6) original metal grease caps for original tube shock links. These cover the rubber seats/seals at each end of the shock link tubes. Don't have to be perfect but no junk please. Let me know what you have via PM, thanks. Rich

Many thanks to Billy Myers who has a Model A machine and repair shop just west of Bradley Airport in East Granby, Connecticut. After seeing my post regarding the frustration that I was having with my rear brake backing plates, he offered to help me out on short notice. Took my backing plates...

I've got my rear rear backing plate for the brakes cleaned and primered. New bushings for the new brake camshaft have also been installed. The lever for the camshaft has been hot peened on and now the camshaft is hard to move for both the right and left side. Figured no big deal, I'll grind...

Looking for a decent (or a pair if I have to) early 30 front stamped steel fender bracket. This style has two vertical mounting holes. U.S. sellers only and please no spammers. Pictures are requested. Thanks Rich

I'm helping a friend address a large oil leak out the flywheel housing hole when he shuts off the engine. I've read Pat's excellent article about oil leaks (http://www.antiqueenginerebuilding.com/REARMAINLEAK.html). More than likely the rear main cap will have to come off to inspect for a...

Looking for a starter band with the date of "K4" or "4K". May need same date code for a generator. Rich (c) 203 257-3576

I'm cleaning up my starter and found the bushings had minimal lubrication. What type of oil/grease is recommended for the bushings? Rich

Pair of unplated steel reproduction door window frames for a 68A-68-B Cabriolet. These were made in the US about 3-4 years ago. These fit and look very close to how they were made originally. I'll post pictures of the frames later. I'm selling because I have found a pair of original frames...

I've been looking over a set of straight window Cabriolet doors that I recently purchased. I noticed that in addition to the usual window stops at the top of each front door post, the window frames also have a short tab bent out at a right angle to the rear. Mounted in the wood window...

I need an original passenger door lock for my e30 68-B Cabriolet. Rich 203 257-3576 Edit: Set screw assembly has been located.

I've found a Cabriolet cowl in Wyoming that I may consider buying and shipping to Connecticut. Anyone ship a cowl? Could Greyhound do it? I'd like to hear about the cost and experiences. Thanks Rich

Looking for a good upper garnish molding for my 68B Cabriolet. Mine is badly rusted. This is the horizontal piece that fits to the underside of the cowl/windshield top bar. Could pickup at Hershey Wednesday or Thursday. PM or call my cell203 257-3576 Rich

I've been restoring a few generators lately and found that a Ford script was on all three brushes in one of them. The generator is an L1 with the oil hole on the side of the bearing cup. Kind of a cool find. I'll post pictures later if anyone is interested. Rich

How hard is it to remove each of the two screws that hold the field coil mounting shoes to the inside of the generator housing? My housing are in decent shape with not much rust and mostly oil and grease having protected them for many years. I'd think a hand impact drive would work with a...

With so many different models of Alemite grease guns for sale, it is hard for those of us trying to get the correct one for our A's. I came across this picture from an old auction that claimed it was for the Model A. I'd like to be prepared for when I go to Hershey this year. Is there a...

I'm looking for an original reinforcement bar that was fitted to the inside of the rear panel below the deck lids of roadsters, coupes, and cabriolets. The center of the bar has a recess for the spare tire brace, reproduction bars do not have this feature and use thinner metal. Perhaps you...

I'm looking for a good original (not pitted) camshaft lever that will fit a reproduction camshaft with a diameter of 0.684". The lever I currently have is 0.695" and is too sloppy. Thanks Rich richATstinch.com

I'll going to get my engine rebuilt to standard specifications this winter. I can't seem to get over the idea of using non-USA parts in the rebuild. Are there any reputable suppliers of parts (pistons, valves, etc) that are made in the US? Rich in CT
