Outstanding!

Saw this on a flathead for sale, caught my attention, is this a real early ford setup?

Yes, but the kicker is I don't remember it this easy before I messed with the springs which leads me to the next question; Its understood that the end of clutch spring connects to the end of the adjustable fork on the engine side but if I remember correctly I just have the other end connected...

Re: Do these front drum/hubs have a center "hub cap" to keep dirt out of the grease? Thanks Gents, I bought some but both were too big...and threaded

Do these front drum/hubs have a center "hub cap" to keep dirt out of the grease? Do these front drum/hubs have a center "hub cap" to keep dirt out of the grease? And if so, tap in or screw in? Think 39 up Lincoln drum/hub?

Some excellent info here gents, thanks!

I found the dive helmet setup on my flatty one of the most complicated plug wire swaps ever but as someone posted silicone lube is your friend, did all of mine at the same time.
