I am restoring my original generator and trying to figure out where the thin insulators go with my new field coils. This is a fourth generation generator with the spring and wick oiler on the back end. Anybody know?

I bought a reproduction roof frame for my 1929 Phaeton and the clamp brackets that attach it to the windshield posts do not fit right. Ford part number A-37325-B and A-37326-B. They do not have the 10 degree bend in the middle and are about an inch short. Where can I find replacements? Attached...

I am installing a new windshield frame on my 1929 Phaeton and I need to drill the holes for the roof snaps. Does anyone have the layout dimensions for the 6 holes? How many inches from the left corner and then all the way across. I can't install my new roof until I get the snaps installed. Any...

I need to add the stripes to the belt rail of my 29 Phaeton. I don't want to paint them, just use tape. All the paint shops have is tape with double stripes, one wide, one narrow. Where can I find cream colored single tape?

I keep having trouble with my repro brake light switch. It doesn't make good contact inside. Is there a better design out there?

I bought a top iron kit for my 1929 phaeton and it does not have an instruction sheet for the assembly. Both Brattons and Macs tell me the supplier doesn't have instructions. Does anybody out there still have an assembly instruction for a top iron kit they could email to me?

When I bought my 29 Phaeton 60 years ago it had neither roof nor windshield. I found a junk yard windshield that was 2 inches short and used it until I found one of the correct height. The short one was made from round tubing while the longer one was made of oblong tubing. The short one had some...

I am overhauling the steering column on my 1929 Phaeton. The sector plate at the top of the shaft housing where the spark and throttle arms ride is worn almost smooth so the control arms won't stay put as the car vibrates. Is this sector plate replaceable? None of the parts catalogs show it as a...

Recently I emailed an order for Kwik Poly and received a notice that --"as of today, Kwik Poly is no longer in business. At this time, there is no one to handle the business. " So I guess we will have to find another source. Too bad.

Can anyone tell me the distance between the ears on my 1929 radiator shell. The ears are where the shell attaches to the radiator. My lower ears seem to be wider apart than the upper ears so I wonder if my shell is spread too wide. I've got 21 3-4 inches on the bottom and 20 1-2 on the top. This...

I'm having trouble with my radiator shell resting on the hood clip shelf. I am restoring a 1929 Phaeton and when I install the radiator shell it sits hard on the shelf. Also the shelf is about 3/8 inch inboard of where it ought to be so the hood panel rides hard on the shell welting and the hood...

I am having trouble fitting the front doors of my 1929 Phaeton and I think it may be the lower hinges. In the attached picture you can see the Hinge leaves on one lower hinge are 6/32 apart and on the other are 3/16 apart. Note the difference in the bend at the pin. What is the correct spacing...

I am restoring a 1929 Phaeton and am trying to install the kick panels and inner door panels. For the kick panels I see three 10-32 threaded holes on the cowl post near the hinges so I assume I use 10-32 oval head screws with cup washers in addition to the door stop strap screws. Are there any...

I took the gas tank off my 1929 Phaeton to clean and paint it and now it won't go back on without scratching the corners where is goes under the windshield bar across the top of the cowl posts. I can force it in but it seems to be too wide. If I get it in there is no room for the welting. I am...

I am assembling my 1929 Phaeton (4 door) after restoring it. Should there be welting under the back panel (between the quarter panels) and on top of the rear body cross member? If there is no welting there may be a rain leak. Maybe I should use caulking?

I bought a Stewart Wagner horn and it worked good until I took it apart to clean and paint. I forgot the nut on the ratchet wheel was left hand so I tightened it until it broke instead of loosening it. Now I have an armature shaft with no threads on the lower end. Does anybody know somebody who...

I am restoring my 29 Phaeton from the ground up. I am having trouble with repo parts for the body that I have to modify to make them fit. Such as radiator shell that is too thick and full length sills that are too short. Does anybody have and detailed diagrams of the body sheet metal with...
