Yes, the pin placement makes them "idiot proof" but I was doing a bit of blind wiring with old loom that had no colors left and was trying to figure out what to plug into what with no colors for clue.

Figured it out. As always.

Which is which please

Probably asked before but looking straight into the socket, is high beam on the left or the right. Wire colors are hopelessly faded.

The previous ranch owners of this car witnessed the front wheels leaving the ground as a result of "wing lift" from the flapping of the front fenders, and added the brace to keep her on the ground. the seller. ;) Thanks Freighter Jim

It appears this is the area of the breakage in my case. Groove gets worn and perhaps even a bit more heat at that one spot over 90 years. Maybe this spot becomes the "stress riser"? I'm more worried about the transmission when they drive than the rear end. Crunch crunch crunch. Hey, if it...

Thanks so much for all the answers. I'm lucky. It happened at home in the driveway, and I have a parts rear end in the back yard that still has it's drums on. When I get it all dis-assembled I'll do some good pics of the break along with whatever other evidence I can see then. Yes, it's...

In 54 years of using and abusing Model A's I've never experienced a broken axle. So I'm curious what the combined talent here can teach me. Did it break because the rear roller bearing is worn out and it flexed too much? How would someone measure that? This is a car that gets used. Myself...

For 50 large they should hire a photographer.

The excitement of finding a nice surviving barn find original car these days might be worth more than the car. I'd expect to get to $7500 real quick. You can't put a number on something not seen with a 10 word description though. Is it a 1970's amateur restoration gone to seed? Original...

A story with a picture. This is from 4 days ago. When my girls were growing up (b 1980, 81, 83) I bought a '29 roadster out of a barn in Lake Tahoe. It had been the camp car at a girls camp up there since 1932. Bought from the son of the original owner. The motor was stuck but we took the...

My '38 coupe has those. My '39 tonner does not. Keep the truck;)

My thoughts exactly. It's making me look at my '38 coupe that I've nickeled and dimed up to that same money and say, wish I could trade:D Wonder if it has a floor?

Theres a great looking '36 drophead on evilbay today for 19,600 We all think our stuff is worth more than it is. me included. But that '39 is a very sweet car. Even better when the sealed beams are gone.

Now I'm curious, having never had the pleasure of a vic, is there any storage access to the little space in the bustle back? Pretty cars!

Even Model A's are generating "fake news"

I have enough trouble keeping one of those kettles perking. I love my wife, but I don't want two.

Thank goodness for the women. The men are all leaning or standing around. Does that truck in photo 2 have tube shocks up front?

1940 Hydraulic brakes would give you those drums and pattern. Or simply putting 1935 drums on a 1936 car and keeping the original mechanical brakes is a possibility too.
