A shorter belt is all it took. 41” belt provided the clearance I was looking for. However the shop I got belt from only had it in a 1/2” width. I hope this won’t present a different issue.

Went to a 41” belt and that provided the clearance I was looking for

Fast forward 9 years - Im now wondering if this is why I now have such a small clearance between my fan belt and the radiator return hose

This is what I was first thinking I might try. But since it didn’t have it when I tore it down I figured, why would I need it now.

This may be the answer. Seems likely that the first top pipe for 28 may offer a solution. The pipe that I’m using was on the car when I tore down. However the radiator sat on thicker pads and engine was on an after market front mount. https://i.imgur.com/WCbAc3C.jpg

Reinstalling my 29 Tudor radiator today, ran into a situation that has me stumped. When fan belt is tight, I have less than a 1/4” space between the return radiator hose and the belt. When generator is pushed all the way in and touching block I still only have at most 1/2”. So no much room for...

Im back, This is the first post in what has been a long overdue return to the restoration of my father-in-laws 29 Tudor. The work first began in 2011 and was intended to be a complete frame off restoration. But in 2013 was when I started a new business in the middle of the restoration, and all...

I had an Ahooga horn ring tone and thought it was alright, even recieveing a few comments from folks who heard it. But recently while my engine was out of the car during a rebuild I longed for that oh so unique 4 banger sound. So I recorded a friends engine running and applyed it to my ringtone...

I would like to think that I can fall in the 3 zone but what usually happens is that life gets in the way to often before a task is complete and I then differ to a 2 or even a one. "Man I wish I was retired"

I believe putting the books in this forums' "Swap Meet - For Sale" would generate a positive response.

I said $15,000 but of couse I will be asking for more and will expect it. "Sorry the salesman in me just came out "

No offense taken, The car that I pictured in my earlier post is not a car that I would want to buy, but as I mentioned it was purchased as a courtacy to an auctioneer and colleague who has an obligation to honour the bid to his consigner. And as for a comparison, you are right about there is a...

You may be right about B.J. auctions, I have seen bidders there who buy a car just so they could brag about how much he paid. "When I brag, its because I feel like a bought it cheap" They want everyone to know, they can afford to buy what ever they want. But there are hundreds of real world...

Your pictures tell a story of a beautiful car. I bet the car has been well care for. And worth every penny that someone will pay. I am bias of course but I like a live auction for these lovely ladies. I would offer to sell it for you off site with a buy back option to protect you but I would...

I pulled theses pics off the web, I think it is fasinating that the builders of these anphib-cars would be so meticulous as to paint the bow of the boat/car to match.

MY first thought was it was not used for hauling items behind the truck but used on a drilling site to move pipe by hand, slightly different design but really I dont know.
