    You won't find better people to deal with than Red's Headers, Fort Bragg CA. Patrick's Antique Auto Parts, AZ is a close second. IMO

    Two places come to mind--Joblot Automotive, deep stock and knowledgable people; Red's Headers, also probably has everything and can answer your questions. I suspect Hamber **** Spadaro would also be a very good source, as he knows his Fords, but his catalog doesn't really show what he has in the mechanical sections. I suspect he would have it all too.
     
  4. John,

    I'm a Patrick's dealer. Let me know what you want and I'll get you a good price. :)

    Thanks for the reply and I have bought from both Patricks and Reds. I had great results every time.. I didn't know they carried the bearing ,rings and other rebuild goodies..

    Don't be afraid to ask for Red himself, (Hamilton) he's a wealth of flathead information; AND parts!!
    (sometimes he can even come up with some NOS parts that don't show up on his web site!)

    And if Red isn't available; the gals on the phone know their stuff too!! :D

    BTW - Red's Headers have a NEW web site address ..
