Yipes, is that semantics or grammer that invaded a compliment ?
THANK YOU to all those who spend the $, time, effort and knowledge to make all the repro. parts shown in this thread.
We now have available new replacement starter cups for the truck 8RT-6392 bell housings. This is a brand new part made of steel that fits perfectly in the opening of the cast iron 8RT truck bell housings. Replace that damaged or missing cup. You can weld or glue the new cup into the place of the original cup, which was rolled/crimped into place by Ford. Protects your starter from road dust and water spray. Link to our website for these:

Michael:
Any chance you'll be making the special the smaller diameter headed castle nuts for the '32-'36 D headed bolts?
The bolts made are the longer of the two versions. Castle Nuts have become incredilbly expensive to make in the US. What I use are Model A Ford rear backing plate nuts made by Snyder's. They are 7/16-20 with a 5/8" hex like original unline the most common 11/16". They have a shoulder so if you are using the long version bolts in a short version scenario the work perfect, otherwise just tunr the shoulder off in a lathe.

Ah, got it. The difference in length is for the cast vs stamped couplers, right?
OldGold360,
Any chance that you'll be making the capped studs used with floor mats and your sockets?
Your sockets were also used on '33-'34 V8 passenger car #1 wood floor boards.
Hi David.
I am hoping to. I have some good originals to use, I just need to find the time to figure out how best to make them. I did just finish up everything I needed to do to be able to accurately reproduce the ‘32 floorboards and I will always have them in stock, unless they stop making nice plywood.
I am currently working on finishing up a couple of other pieces. When those are finished, I will look at reproducing those capped studs. I’ll share some updates here when that time comes. Till then, here are some pictures of the ‘32 Floorboards.
Your boards look great!
Just fabulous !!
