RedModelT...Here in Bend we have had smoke for days. We were near Lincoln City last week...what a mess! Home again in smoky Bend.

Juan- Take a look at a Cabriolet. The windows of a Coupe and the "Drop-Top" of a Roadster. Best of both worlds. They'll cost a few more $'s.

I've used the original, thick gasket and traced it on a plain old brown paper grocery sack. Cut those out and use them as gaskets. A bit of #2 Permatex never a leak and never a problem with breaking off the ears.

Spindals installed and no problem. Yup the tiny extension was taken up with the felt washer. All good now. Thanks for all of the responses.

Replacing the King Pins and Bushings and I noted that the bushing fits flush in the upper casting (top and bottom). In the lower casting the bushing fits flush with the top surface but extends about 1/16" out of the bottom of the lower casting. Sound right to anyone? Thanks.

Seems like every time I go out with one of the cars someone will ask, "where's the car show"? I tell them, "just because it's old doesn't mean it has to go to a show. We just drive them...".

I've got a couple of them...took them off the cars. They were the biggest vacuum leak you could ever imagine!

MAG, I purchased a Mitchell specifically for my Victoria. Yes, the regular ones do interfere with the drop down floor but they do make an O/D for the Victoria by changing the lengths of the torque tubes. The O/D I purchased didn't go into my Victoria but I put it in a "31 Roadster...works...

1931 Victoria. Older restoration, a driver, not a concourse car. Rare "Twin-X" 2 speed overdrive, Model "B" Diamond engine, runs good. No rust, all steel. Lots of non-reproduction parts. Not sure how to add photos...photos available upon request.

I am installing a Snyder's gear reduction starter in my rebuild. I had 3 "modern" solenoids explode on my starter that was converted to 12V. Boy what a pain in the rear to get those things out. tired of doing the same thing over and over. Sure they aren't stock looking but others in the...

I too have a Twin-X in my Victoria. Pretty much like the standard rear-end except for the control rod that's used to shift from Hi to Low range. I am very cautious about shifting while I'm moving. If I try to shift it at any speed at all it grinds so I wait till I'm either stopped or at a...

Thank you both for your help. Mat is the way I'll go. Yes the carpet has been wet and so have the occupants. Maybe that's why the carpet has a big hole below the clutch pedal that catches my heel. I knew the answer would be here.

I had a 6V starter converted to 12V and it seems to work pretty well. My problem is I have "stuck/welded" two or three starter switches. Apparently the new replacement switches are not as robust as the originals.

I need to dump the old carpet in my '29 Roadster. Did they come originally with rubber mats or did they come with carpet? I saw a rubber mat and there were some kind of fasteners. Not sure how they work. The old carpet has some of the old snaps left but they'd need to be replaced. Mat or...

I've not had good luck with these whistles. I have two of them and took them off. They were a huge vacuum leak. Hope yours works better.

The Myrtlewood A's did a fantastic job! A wonderful time was had by all. The High Desert A's thank you for your work!

You folks did a GREAT job! Thanks for the Meet. The High Desert A's all enjoyed ourselves.

I have a Russian engine in a '29 Roadster. I know it's completely Russian as I had it apart for a valve job and rings recently. The crankshaft was marked "GAZ" as well as the tops of the pistons and connecting rods. It has a "GAZ" head and "GAZ' valve cover too. I always wondered if it was a...
