The other drum is the standard 12" size and is in perfect condition, so I do not want to turn that one undersize. In this area in the 50's and 60's it was possible to buy relined Brake Shoes in 30, 60, and 90 thousands oversize. Today they are only available in standard sizes, so used with...

345.00 for relining, and a additional 45.00 for removing and replacing the hub, plus the cost of studs and new bearings, that they didn't quote a price on.

No, I haven't found any yet.

The other drum is standard size, exactly 12" ID. as measured with a brake drum micrometer. Thanks for all your help. Keith

The Brake Drum the I need relined is a original Front Drum.

I have called J&G Brake Drum Relining, and questioned them on the need to remove the hub, and the reply was they just wanted to do it and charge a additional 45.00 plus new studs and bearings. These drums are very shallow and it just seems unnecessary to me, to remove the hub and swagged...

The one Drum in question is scored 90 thosand oversize, and usable ones are impossible to find. So I would like to save this one.

I have contacted J&G Brake Drum Relining about relining one of my 41 Lincoln Drums and they tell me they would be removing the hub from the drum. I would prefer not to do this as the hub and studs that are original are in perfect condition and are also balanced by the factory. Do you think this...

[/ATTACH I built this one to clear the Quick Change.

Thank you for all the leads. Ford Barn is a great source of knowledge.

Thank you David G and Merc Cruzer.

Since LeBaron Bonney closed I am looking for a supplier of T-39 Stayfast Topping in neutral Beige, as well as 3/4" T-39DB Binding, and T-39H Hidem for my 32 Ford Roadster Top repair. Would anyone have a source that you could recommend. Any leads would be very much appreciated.

I built a way of lifting the front of my car when using my four post lift. I inverted my sliding jack tray and welded in some receiver tubes that fit the 1" threaded rod with a C channel welded to the top side, a large nut with two bolts welded to each side. Drive the car on the hoist, raise it...

Hi Ken, no not yet. I have a Philco radio is yours for a Philco ? Keith

The switch on the radio is frozen and will not move, and it is in the on position so when energized the radio works, but cannot be shut off and the volume cannot be changed. Would this switch be a one year only on the 40 Ford radio or would anyone know if it was used in a earlier or later years...

Thanks for the reply's, mine is a Philco Model F 1740, and I have been able to source all the necessary electrical and cosmetic plastic parts, just need the switch. I works and sounds good but would rather not have a exterior switch for the on off and volume function.

Btt

I have a 40 Ford radio that needs a On Off Volume Switch. Does anyone know where one might be available ? Many thanks if you can help. Keith

Wrap them with a little Teflon tape.

Maybe it was because in the forties wheels and tires were balanced on the car and you could mark the wheel where the pointed stud was, and reassemble the wheel and tire on the same pointed stud to maintain your balance. Anyways that's what I've been doing for years.
