Thanks Guys! Tap Tap Tap doesn't work. I guess I gotta do the bang bang bang! I'm concerned I'll damage the backing plate.

I have the rivets out of the rear roller track but the service brake tube that holds the bushings for the shafts must be pressed into the backing plate. Any ideas on how to get this tube out of the backing plate?

Thanks For all the helpful responses. You guys are a great source of information on the Model A

I plan to buy new cast brake drums. Is there any reason why I can't install my current hubs on the new drums? The hubs are fine but the drums are a little thin. Will the normal studs work?

Does anyone sell or rebuild the steering arms for a Model A. I know you can buy the balls and drill out the arms and weld the balls in. Is there someone out there that reproduces them or that provides the rebuilding service.

I'm very new at upholstery. Ive removed all of the old upholstery and am ready to start reupholstering. The back rest of the rear seat does not have a wood base. The old upholstery was simply hog ringed to the springs. ID this correct or is there supposed to be a wood frame. The seat...

Has anyone installed a hand wiper on a 1930 closed car. I'm not trying for original. It looks like with some modification the wipers for the 29 would work. Any ideas (besides Rainex) would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks, It looks like someone removed the screw and knob. I can see where it was. I can see where the slides are and it looks like the seat is clamped to the slides. I'll have to take it apart and see what parts I need to get it back in shape. Thanks guys.

I have a 1930 Model a coupe. It looks like the seat might be adjustable forward and back but I can't see how it is done. Can anyone lead me to the solution? Thanks for any help you can provide!!!

Thanks Guys Looks like there is a terminal on both ends. I'll take the cut out off and see which one is NOT connected to the generator and hook up the horn,terminal and light withers there.

I just got my uncles 1930 ford coupe that he bought brand new. He did a restoration (sort of) in the 90's. None of the lights work. I got the switch working but the question I have is about the wire that comes from the terminal box to the relay on the generator and the wire the comes from the...

Thanks Mitch Lots of ideas in that post,

Where do I get the tack strip material that fits in to the metal holder that mounts in each upper rear corner of a Model A Tudor. It's about 1/" thick 7/8" wide and 17" long. Is there a substitute material that works?

Is there a procedure for checking the float position and adjusting if necessary?

It appears that the leak is not at the threads but where the shaft exits the brass fitting.

I have a Marvel carb and it is leaking out of the GAV entry. I have rebuilt the shut off and it does not leak. But the carb leaks some. Is the GAV supposed to seal when totally closed or do I have the float set wrong. Any advice is appreciated.

I'm trying to rebuild the gas shut off from a 1930 model A. Getting the packing out is proving to be quite a challenge. The youtube video shows a 31 which conveniently has a hole that allows the packing to be pushed out from the opposite end. This one has a blind hole and the instructions say...

You have something there. I think I'm going to follow your lead. What size fuses did you put in the circuits? Thanks for your help!

I'm adding some turn signals and an electric wiper to a Model A. When I run the "power wire" from the ignition switch to the wiper or signals they barely work. If I run the "power wire" directly from the battery they work fine. I jumped the ignition switch with no success. The wire to the...

Thanks rip94611. I have taken what I would call the needle part of the GAV out of the carb. ITs very tapered and looks pretty good . Is the rubber or leather seal in the seat part?
