well I may have my answer "If you have a 1940 Ford flywheel with an 11-1/2” pressure plate bolt circle, it is most likely from a truck or a...
This is what I am told an early flathead 10" PP measures at (see photos sent to me for reference) Why if my PP bolt holes measures almost an inch...
Just checked, PP bolt holes are not drilled through on mine.
So I bought a flathead out of a generator year back, was running well. I am now building the '26 roadster it is going into. I have the motor on a...
I plan to add side gussets to tab they mount on, to add side stability. Then I will construct the Torque Arm.
Update, I mocked it up (Tack-welds only)
Great pictures, thanks for sharing. Did you fabricate the Torque Arms system or was it a kit?
I agree and was under the same thought when I started this project. I will be running a almost stock Flathead and 3 speed top loader. So I...
Thanks everyone for the feedback. Few more question: Can I use Tie Rod ends to attach the Radius arm to the underside of the frame or are...
Thanks guys, I knew you all would be the voice of reason. I wil go with the original idea and try to get the bars as close together as possible...
So then why can I not just run these to the outer frame and then add the 3rd “panhard” link? Be a heck of lot less fab work.
OK so I’ve looked through past threads I notice topic has been talked about a lot but I could not find the answer specific to my question. I...
I am building a '26 Roadster very similar to this yet with a Flatty mill, the cost to build these can easily exceed the asking price on this...
Oh I agree with that 100% just hard to spend $700-1,000 for shocks ... I may punt and use 1950 Dodge tube shocks.
Thanks. I moved the rear spring cross member as I am using 1936 rear with spring behind axle, not planning on running fenders. Now I need to...
Got the frame mostly done. Just some last few welds to button up once I flip the frame over for final welds. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
What do you run for shocks in the rear?
Thanks for the feedback. Makes sense to tuck in and raise the rails into the trunk floor. I was so focused on A builds using the kick up this...
The cross brace will stay the issue is the rails that run on the sides.
So I have my 1926 Roadster build started, and I have the Model A frame on the frame table ready to cut the rear for the “kick up”. I am using a...
photo update on the difference I will need to stretch the A frame - Looks like 7 1/2" maybe 7 3/4" I measured wheelbase as it sits mocked up - I...
I am using a '47 Merc flathead. you can see it now "resting" in its approximate location.
well I just went ahead and mocked up suspension and placed body on. I used Inked Monkey's idea and well I have some cutting to do, I even mocked...
Looking to locate the '26 roadster body on my '29 A frame. Is there an aprox location for where the firewall goes on the A frame? I need to modify...
Hello all. I am looking to get new wheels for the '49 and have been running the factory stock rims. I am pretty sure the backspace is 3.5" -...
right next to my office... damn it! missed this.
how about this one, that was a lot of masking! Kinda dig it! Minus the goofy spider on the nose. :rolleyes: [IMG]
You may be interested in checking out this forum: http://www.flatheadsrus.com I was turned onto it by a fellow HAMB member... .
I dig the simplicity of this, nice work.
It helped, I am looking for these and your post may have just got you another set sold... :D
