I can’t recommend anyone but something to be a where of .I fitted a new harness in my 34 around 10 years ago , don’t remember where I bought it . I had the radiator out recently and noticed the little rubber sleeve that goes over the plug in fittings was disintegrating ( cheap Chinese...

Hi Phil , yep that’s where mine came from , via Ajays

Thanks for your reply Mac . My reason for asking is I have just received a detent spring and ball kit from a local supplier here in NZ which according to the label came from a well known supplier in the US . It had 3/8 balls and as you would know they are loose in the bore where they fit ...

I just put up a post asking for detent ball size , did a search and found this post by 21 stud . You have answered my question . I have a detent spring and ball kit with small 3/8 balls which are loose in the housing bore and allow the shaft to move back and forth . The only way to stop this...

Hi , I have 1 brace with the inner end bolted to the chassis , on the other side of car it is mounted up higher where the main fender and inner fender join. Which is correct ? Photos ?

Thanks for your replies, have reused some good ones.used Locktite to hold them because the shoulder had been removed to get them out . Will try and obtain some nos B1118 or 48 1118 . Lead foot thanks for the tip on the front bolts

I need some rear hub bolts fo my 34 . My local supplier has sent me bolts listed as suitable for1928 to 1935 , they are approx 1/4 shorter than my originals ( 1 5/8 ) . I have checked online with other suppliers , they list the same . Are the correct length bolts available ?

Other side all done . Took it for a drive , slight contact on one side , had to remove it and give it a touch up with the angle grinder. All good now. I think these retainers should be mandatory on our old Fords

One side done , one to go , then the Model A

Thanks for you replies , Charlie yes I need to do my Model A as well , SUHRsc I like your idea , I don’t have access to lathe at the moment , will definitely go that way in the future . I have decided to to go the bolt on bracket way , with a slightly different bend in the bracket they...

Hi guys Is any one making the old style weld / bolt on rear drum retainer . I’m running original brakes on a 34 ? .The little bolt on brackets won’t work . I guess I could make up some that would bolt to the backing plate. Any thoughts ?

Another good outback trip Lawrie, love the wide open spaces, hope the 33 runs well for you , yeah post some pics. We’re driving from Perth via the Great central to Maroochydore in a few weeks , sadly not flathead v8 powered .

You’re living the dream Lawrie .We spotted the 35 remains a few weeks ago on a trip to Broome via Darwin , also had a look around the truck museum at Winton where there was several old flathead trucks . The Chrysler roadster is a really well sorted car , it belongs to Bruce Washington from...
