I made a windshield frame for my '23 T from 1/2" X 1/2" X .065" square tubing with one side carefully ripped off in a bandsaw to form a channel....
Just another diagram I've seen on the net is on nationaltbucketalliance.com under their tech section. Sorry I don't know how to post a clickable...
I never had a '32 Ford anything and don't have the $$ for one now, at least it looks that way. Someone had a pair of NOS rear '32 sedan fenders on...
I live just 25 minutes North of Cape Girardeau and as of Noon today the local TV weather-guy, Lyin' Brian, said rain was coming in Sat. night and...
I have 2 250X Miller MIG welders about 5 years old. I don't recall exactly what I paid for them but would guess they're $1600, or more, if you...
Adj. johnsons....sorry about the e-mail goof up on my part. I'll check tomorrow to see what I have in the rack that'll work for you. FWIW my...
3/4" smooth bore steering U-joints are welded in on a regular basis in circle track applications. Anything beyond that would require a disclaimer...
I would suspect that parts need to be re-coated from time to time after using Gibbs oil? I built a windshield frame for my roadster and used a...
Rocknrod.....You just might have it! I'd think it might work on 1/2" or 3/4" and up to about 1 or 1 1/4" NPT. I'll check it on some fittings...
As in; for replacing seats in a brass ball valve? Hmm..... Maybe it went home in a plumbers lunchbox by accident?
No, you're probably thinking of the single taper somdrige fitting. This actually has the subtle taper of the "barrel somdrige". HA!
The SPL TH marking looks just like it was printed in ink, not hand etched or hand stamped with the little # & letter type stamps. I've been around...
This "tap" was in a box with other parts I bought at a swap meet a number of years ago. No one I've shown it to has any idea of it's use. Anyone...
I built a similar set of baffles and used a coarse steel wool wrap, as suggested. It went from YELLING over the engine in the shop to being able...
A mistake I regularly allow to happen is not locking myself in the shop when I see my neighbor coming who always tells me how "I ought to do it"
I think I got the answer to my earlier question about the timing of Columbia/Cape meets. Someone told me today Cape's is the 20th, so if that is...
19th and 20th? Is that the weekend after the Daytona 500? Even though I sell race parts I don't pay much attention to Winston....er, uh....Nextel...
It's in a dirt floor horse arena? Is that the "Expo Center" West of Columbia in the N. side of I-70?
There was quite a good article about it in Street Rod Builder (or something like that) a couple years ago. They touted the same merits as you did...
You think you scored big? Mrs. Winfab found a '32 Ford Roadster for me!!.....OK, so it's 1/8 scale but I get to build a '32. Now I need...
If I recall correctly the closest D.O.M. for 11/16" threads without reaming to get a tap started would be .875" (7/8) X .120" or .125" wall. I...
The leverage ratio in SOME pressure plates is in the area of 9:1 on the "fingers":pressure ring, so to get .020" gap (total) in the...
Maybe someone (Dr J?) was suggesting this but, if the low hot is connected to the ground of the bulb and the ground is actually on the low...
I'd agree with the 3/16" being plenty strong. As far as your width spacing concern you can just use the rod ends you'll be using as the spacer...
I made the simple tool below out of 2" pieces of 1/2" rod and a 16-18" X 1" sq. tube. I clamped the tubing being bent (1/2" and 3/4" 16 Ga. sq...
Mayby I'm missing something on the lemon part, but I have quite a few circle track race customers that use Accel and NGK plugs. Many of the...
If I'm thinking of the same wheel/drum it's a design more like a wide-5 where the drum has provisions for mounting the wheel out near the edge...
The blowup is the same carb as my '73 Sportster. #2 in the blowup is the actuation lever/cam for the pump and has no adjustability for stroke of...
modernbeat, I was gone a couple days but I'll look at my carb for accelerator pump adjustability. The blowup posted does look like the same carb...
When I was 16 (a long tome ago) I was told if you poured oil or ATF in the muffler (glaspack) and ran it, it would plug up the 'glass and make it...
