Not had much time to keep up with all the posts lately, used to enjoy reading thru them, picked up a lot of useful tips. Just to say thanks for all the info and help I`ve received over the past few years. Spent a fair few ££££`s and got the old girl running nice, and was looking forward to...

How do I upload a sound file. I`ve recorded the sound of my engine running and would like some opinions on it.

Noticed a wet mark/stain on the floor under the dash about where the cable tube ends. Felt up inside and it was wet. On checking the fuel gauge there is fuel showing, like a miniature fish tank. Not seen that before, not supposed to be like that is it ?

Her indoors, being vertically challenged, is having a problem with judging the width of the car at the front. She can only just see over the hood !! It wasn`t until I started taking the A for runs that she became more interested and decided she would like to drive it. After a stress filled...

As I`ve said before electrics are not my fine point so the answer to this may seem obvious to some. I`ve installed an old 4 fuse box for my accessories, fog and reverse lights etc., and run a wire direct from the battery to supply it. Can I change the wiring so that I get a reading from the...

I fitted a folding chrome/wood luggage rack using the straight extensions, I have a rear mount spare. I recently noticed a coupe like mine with the same type of rack but it appeared to be higher. When mine is lowered it is in line with the bumpers. My question is, are there different brackets...

Can a 6v light bar be run on 12v ?

A vendor on Ebay UK is selling a new Tillotson carb. as offered by Macs. Any feedback on these carbs would be appreciated, thanks in anticipation, Dennis.

Just a quick one - what`s the shipping weight of an 8 leaf rear spring ?

How do I post a sound (.aac) ?

Took the old girl for a short run, 15 miles, first proper run since I bought it, still got a few things to do. Getting a bit of a problem, get to 30mph and doesn`t want to go further also temp seems a bit high, at the far end of the normal, need to sort that, but anyway here`s the fruits of my...

Briefly, if possible, what is involved in fitting a flathead in a 1930 coupe?

Yeah I know wash your mouth out, mentioning In Car Entertainment in the same breath as a Model A, but, here goes.......... Wanted local news, traffic etc. as well as music so I bought a Sony Mechless head unit (for the un-initiated solid state no cd etc.) keeps the size down just has a usb slot...

Just when I thought I`d cracked it, after nearly 2 years of learning from this forum thought I was well versed in the Model A idiosyncrasies but no....... For the last year or so it has been starting on the button, until this morning. My usual procedure, ignition on, fuel on, check retard...

I have just bought some door seals. The upper inside ones go under the garnish, the slots don`t quite match up with the screws so a bit of filing will be required there, no problem. The bottom ones I can`t make up my mind which way they are supposed to go, I understand that they are sandwiched...

My windscreen didn`t fit what I`d call properly when I acquired the car. When closed there was a small gap at the top narrowing as it went down to the bottom on the passenger side but on the drivers side at the top the gap is quite a bit bigger again narrowing down to the bottom. I can see no...

I had removed my windscreen for refurbing, new rubber and re-paint, when I had stripped it down I had an idea, why not get it chromed.......... I phoned my usual chromer for a quote and decided to paint it, then had second thoughts, and, as I had already spent a small fortune thought ah well...

but only a very short run to get some fuel, about 2 miles. Finally solved the clutch noise, thanks to all for the tips etc., it was a loose ring gear in the end, new one fitted, I`m getting quite adept at pulling the axle back and removing the gearbox, 3 times now singlehanded, not bad for a `44...

Originally I had a noise when I pressed the pedal. The general opinion was probably a knackered release bearing so I decided to replace the whole clutch. When I got the old one out there was no obvious reason for the noise that I could see, but I went ahead and changed the whole clutch anyway...

I realise this can be an emotive subject, whitewalls, but here goes, has anybody used these - ATLAS 19" White Wall Tire insert Trim - if so opinions please on the fit, performance, etc. Not cheap, especially time the import duty etc. is added but I have excellent tyres and w/w tyres ain`t...
