That's what I recall someone saying some time ago. Thanks for the help.

I have a 34 metric speedometer that needs restoration or replacement. A restored replacement is available but it's not cheap. Mine is in fairly good condition but needs cleaning, adjusting, the trip odometer repaired, and the face plate & odometer wheels restored. I know I can get a firm price...

Mine are more nearly the color of the gauges on the left picture of David J's post.

That's the conclusion I've come to as well. I'll have to replace the radio gauge face with a reproduction. I wish I could figure out how to tint the reproduction gauge face to match the other gauges that match each other fairly well.

The background color of the gauge faces on my car is a golden color. Reproduction gauge faces are brushed aluminum with no golden tint. What color were they when they left the factory? Have the gauge faces yellowed over time or were they finished with a golden tint? If the original color was...

You were fortunate that you couldn't find a reproduction replacement shock. I've had nothing but trouble with the repops, as the shafts are of low quality and often break. A good original shock or a rebuilt original shock is your best bet. If you buy a rebuilt shock, make sure it's a rebuilt...

Re: I think I have stripped timing gear If you have a fiber press-on timing gear, often you can replace it without removing the camshaft. Pull the radiator, remove the distributor and timing gear cover, and cut off the old gear using a coal chisel or other instrument of destruction of your...

I replaced the stock 6v bulbs on my '34 with 6v halogens and it made a big improvement in headlight brightness. The replacement halogen bulbs initially did not focus correctly so I modified the sockets to pull the bulbs forward to correct the focus. Now, while the lighting may not be equal to...

That TDR article you posted yesterday was great. Thanks G.M. I just bought a used diesel pusher motorhome and was in a quandary regarding engine oil for my upcoming 6 gallon oil change. Truckers kept mentioning Delo, Delvac, and Cummins Blue as being the best. This article confirmed that...

The nearest metric size using radial tire conventional dimensions would be a 165/95R16 but that's not a recognized tire size and I don't think anyone makes such a critter. If you are looking for a radial tire that's equivalent to a 6.00 x 16, Coker Tire and perhaps others sell a 600R16 that has...

I managed to melt a coil on my '34. All you have to do is connect the coil wire to the wrong side of the loading resistor on the firewall. The coil apparently didn't appreciate getting straight 6 volts. I won't make that mistake again. I suppose some sort of short across the resistor might do...

Still have it? Have a closeup photo?
