No, I replaced the bearing bush with a new one. But it had to be reworked, the adjusting screw was touching, you can see the thread impression, I had to mill it free a bit so that the bearing could be adjusted. Adrian is a household name, he drives the Model A as a daily driver and lives the 1930s, cool guy. Oh... I can get parts, it's just a bit more difficult and expensive, and it's no different for Adrian. I have friends in the same Model A club as Adrian, and I ask them if I'm looking for a specific part. His videos are always very informative. Greetings Harald
Hi Harry. What size and Make of Tyre are you using on the Back? Your photo of the one in Romo Really looks nice. Do you know what size are on that one? Thanks From Dave . UK.
I like it a lot too, I'll be using 5.50 and 7.00x16 on my 16" wheels, I guess that's what the Römö Racer has too. Greetings Harald
The front spring was disassembled and cleaned. I turned the bottom leaf over. The 2nd leaf was shortened, the 8th and 9th leaves were left out and shortened and put back under the spring. All spring leaves were painted black. Finally, graphite lubricant was applied to the leaves and everything was put back together. Best wishes, Harald
The brake drums were separated from the hub, I opened the bolts from the press with a hole cutter. Then the bolts came out very easily. I disassembled and cleaned the front backing plates, and welded up and straightened the worn areas on the roller tracks. Greetings Harald
It's nothing crazy that I'm building, it should work out with the registration. At the moment I can only do small things, actually I wanted to put the engine together, but my engine repairer is very slow and my parts are still shipping around the Atlantic and won't be available until next month. Now I've removed the tank to replace the surrounding Seal, it's fantastic that all the screws can be opened cleanly. The inside of the tank is rust-free, isn't that fantastic? The fuel gauge was overhauled at the same time. Greetings Harald
I installed this banjo steering wheel on the steering column of a Model A. I had to modify the adapter, which was supposedly the correct one, to make it fit the cone. I wanted to position the steering wheel as tightly as possible on the steering column, so I threaded the adapter through from the inside and secured it. The adapter was turned to fit so that it slid into the steering wheel hub. Everything fit together perfectly. The fuel tank has been reinstalled with a new seal, and the windshield has also been reinstalled with new rubber seals. All minor work; the parts are still not in Germany, so we're waiting. I was able to pick up the rear spring, the spring eyes were turned, and everything was reassembled. Regards, Harald
