Been running this for a bit (with the same rods...). Still stopping great and straight. Had to dial in a quarter of a turn on the driver front....
I have more pictures to post later. Got everything back together. Braking is improved 1000%. The system needs to be adjusted from scratch but we...
Followed over here from my brake thread. Really superb. The touring car looks factory and I love seeing the cars used.
Fifth is dicey. Sixth has to go. ;) I think I remember that article in street rodder. I always felt like somebody from impco was working for GM...
If someone replicated a vacuum tube EFI, I would gladly say its appropriate. :P I have seen a ton of posts about making mechanical injection...
Yep. This is a fairly early car. I haven't even looked to see if it has a multidisc clutch. It chatters like crazy when cold but after about three...
Another pic of my big brake kit lol [ATTACH] If you need everything to be perfect, look away. These came from up north and while they are...
Finally getting the rest of the parts for this. Progress!
So... I got a set of NOS accessory floaters that go where the adjusting wedge sits. Should I also run the equalizing type operating wedge with the...
Good deal. I will have a couple on hand.
Pics of the car atleast :) [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Got parts in the mail. Everything is looking good. I will post up some pics soon. I did not get the through spindle operating rods. True or false...
I scored a set of 34 brakes complete on epay. I probably could have scrounged locally and found everything cheaper, but I honestly just want to...
Good deal. I will collect up some parts and make it happen.
So far I have one bare 32-34 backing plate. So the options are still pretty wide open. From my research the 35 is a wider lining and pretty...
thanks! Hopefully I can snag all the parts locally.
I have this completely stock 28 Tudor. I want to give the braking a little bit of boost and fix brakes in need of love. What parts are required to...
Cool! I was aware of using the harley wheels on early ford spindles. I poked at the bearing sizes. Guess its time to hit the usual suspects and...
Are there any resources on using modern available materials for building wheels for these things? Like a 19" harley rim laced onto a custom 4 on...
Nice. I am guessing waaaay more than I could ever afford. The measurements are good to have though.
Wow. A lot of good info there. Thank you! I was planning to run a 31 spline differential. That allows me to possibly use an off the shelf axle...
I have a 9" lathe and access to a bridgeport size mill. Haven't finished fixing my van Norman yet. :) My thought was if it would fit in width...
I should say, I want to use one of these so I can use the flat flange to accept a backing plate or something (bearing retainer) mounted around the...
Use a sprint car center housing and side bells with a differential and half shafts ala miller/810 cord.
Is the bearing width, inside to inside, the same on a closed axle and an open axle Champ axle? I am kind of just kicking around some ideas. (okay...
Looks like a corvair R&P http://www.californiacorvairparts.com/product.php?id_product=1328
As an aside, not all packard 8s had 9 main bearings. Some had five. I vote for the packard still. I always wanted to do one with a Miller style...
Im fond of ga. When i was down south, I saw a bit of activity in Waycross.
I would also like to add I grew up around alot of vintage tin. I was very blessed to have things to tinker with as a kid.
Down around Milledgeville. As far as vintage tin I got a 49/50 chevy (never checked to see exactly which) fleetline I'm planning on putting on a...
