    steering wheel movement

    When I started driving my 31 A about two months ago the steering wheel had NO play, none, if you turned it a fraction of an inch the front wheels moved. Now I have about 3/4ths of an inch play, that is I can turn the steering wheel that far without the front wheels turning. The car is tucked...

    LED Turn signals

    I too use the signal stat with the LED brake lights and the original bulbs in the cowl lights, works great 6V pos ground. The high 3rd brake light by J & L Enterprises is the BEST. It really gets the attention of the texters and cell phone crowd, which seems to be most of the drivers today. Its...

    New Tires

    I just bought a set of Lester’s blackwall 550/19 they are bigger than stock but look great and it changed the drivability of the car tremendously, it really goes where you want it and does now not all over the road as before (I replaced 40yr old tires that looked great) . Not cheap $164 each. I...

    ammeter problems

    I have what I think is a repop ammeter that is not working properly. It is at 3 amps plus when the car is off and goes to 18 when I am running the car then when I shut the car off it is at 10 til I tap it and goes back to about 3plus. Are these difficult to repair?

    lets see the roughest car you started with

    I started out with this frame and running gear for a model T and built this speedster. Lowered front axel, lowered rear frame cross member, HC head 3 to 1 Ruxtel, great driving car. I did the body work, paint, most of the mechanicals myself. My brother in law did the engine, great job goes like...

    rear shock question

    I removed the rear shock today and when I removed the cotter pin and large screw it came off fine but shouldn’t there be a spring under the screw holding the cup down? I don’t have one but not sure I need one.

    starter problem

    Started the A up today and it cranked over slowly but it was about 30 degrees so not too surprised, it started. Drove it about 15 minutes and shut it off, attempted to start and it cranked very slooowwly until it would not crank, no start. I put a charger on it for about half hour then it spun...

    Lester VS Firestone update with pictures

    I was going to mount the tires myself, as I have done with model T"s. Model T's tires are almost like bicycle tires compared to these and are much easier to mount. So, I took them to a local shop were they removed the old tires saved my year old tubes, mounted all 5 new tires and balanced them...

    Lester VS Firestone update with pictures

    I got the Lester 550X19s on the car and took it for a ride yesterday. The difference is unbelievable. I am sure its not because they are lesters but because they are new, the old ones were from 1971 and it felt like the steering column was made of rubber when going town straight roads it would...

    Lester VS Firestone

    Got the tires on and balanced, and went out for test drive. The difference in drivability is night and day. It really makes the car feel like you are in control. The old tires made it feel as if the steering wheel was not attached too well! So far I really like the Lester’s we will see how well...
