Nope. It's about the large diameter outer rim of the hub that on a model A, and I guess all wire wheel cars, rests on the flat side surface of the...
I'm going to mount 1940-48 juice brakes on my Model A with 1932 wire wheels. With the original drums the outer rim of the wheel hub rests squarely...
Open,
Kev - photos on your car at Pendine would be great! Wish I could go one day. Here is a film from Dust Bowl Blues dirt track race last weekend....
Thanks kidcampbell! I really enjoy reading the discussions that continue. It would be great to see alternative solutions develop on the thread -...
I'm really glad that the conversation continues - let's make this an on-going thread on the great M41, M41 topic! Thanks Dannerr for the thought...
Here is some text on the solution from an earlier post on this thread: It's not that it couldn't be solved, it just becomes too expensive. The...
That can be done. I will see if I can find my sketch of the/a solution.
In Swedish forums they say that an M40 can stand up to 170 HPs. Yes the gears are very nicely spaced, with the third nicely in between the...
The M40 works great!! Here is a short video with me shifting through the gears. Please excuse the finger! [MEDIA]
Success!!! Took a short spin around the block, as a first test drive tonight - and gosh how well it works (knock on wood...). First of all the...
Here are photos of the whole assembly. I'm almost ready for a test drive. Maybe this weekend. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Didn't make the deadline - the Flat Out Blast meet today, but thank's to hectic work the last few evenings I'm almost there with the conversion....
Short update. The engine is now inte car - Everything looks good so far. The pedal assembly works perfectly. I will let the transmission "hang" in...
Thank you for the photos Kev! Very nice! Yesterday I mocked up a cross member in cardboard that I began manufacturing today. It's a sort of...
Glad you liked the bolts Dannerr, and glad that you're on the thread. I've been really inspired by your work! Dualquad - if you have photos of...
Made brackets for the brake and clutch pedals this weekend, see mock-up photos: [IMG] [IMG]
Great plan. The ones with OD, (I think they are called M41), are getting thin on the ground. I may or may not upgrade to one of those later.
Some more activity. Photos of the plugged (threaded plugs) and drilled new holes in the clutch housing. Photo of the hand brake lever bracket....
So, after a slight pause in the project, it is on again, with hopes of having tha car ready for the A-Bomber's Flat Out Blast meet May 24 - a...
Yup - saw that - something like that would work. But welding the flange to the u-joint... that was seriously discouraged by a couple of people in...
OK, so I have to give up on keeping the Torque Tube, I'm sorry to say. It's not that it couldn't be solved, it just becomes too expensive. The...

Here are a couple of pictures of the car in question. Photos of the transmission work will be posted soon. [IMG][/URL][/IMG] [IMG]...
Thanks for the input. I've studied these posts closely. Regarding overdrive - there is the M41 assembly - an electrically actuated overdrive...
I'm about to embark on a transmission conversion on my Model A Ford (pre-war style Fordor rod). The four banger is tuned with a Simmons Super...
Thank's everyone! Marcus
Hi! I'm new on the forum, from Gothenburg Sweden. I bought a half way restored Fordor Model A 1930 last summer and spent the winter getting it...
Another very clever solution is the roof on a Citroën 2CV. Two thick rubber bands run along each side of the roof in channels. They are fixated at...
