Welp, the AV8 build is coming to an end for me, a buy stumbled into the shop today and gave me a deposit…. I will be putting my time into getting...
lol, I was thinking something for master cylinder/brakes? It’s built really good,
Gentlemen, I could use some help identifying this part, it came with my roadster…..
It’s not punched out for anything, I assumed I would be doing a little fab work but just want to make sure I find the right set up.
Well, I have been building on this for a few years, it was a stock model A, most of the time spent was farming for parts kuz there just isn’t a...
I will post some pictures of the roadster, I have a Tardell K that will be installing as well.
I’ve tried to sell this car multiple times but just ain’t nobody interested out here in Arkansas, so I will get back to work and farm out some...
Well I’ll have to cut my losses with these two rear leafs I bought and I installed the model A 10 pack leaf removing #2,4,6,8 leaf…. And here we...
Plan A- cutting the crossmember to fit the flatter spring. Plan B- using a model A spring, and stepping the frame to get lower. Orrrr plan C-!...
Can I see a pic if not a big hassle?
Here is the clearance I have, you think this would bottom out?
I have the rear leaf that came with the car and it only measure out to 40”…. Are y’all stretching the main leaf out at least 4” to reach shackles?
It’s a 40’ banjo and to keep the look of a model A spring over I went with spring perches that bolt on the backing plates rather than weld on to...
That’s a good idea, thanks man. I would come back with new metal and strengthen the member back up .
Yea I’m knowledge at cutting and welding metal… just wondering if it’s been done this way… and documented so I can study their process. .. if I...
This shows my set up and how far I need the cross member to drop.
I’ve searched all over and can’t find any pics or info, maybe someone can help on here. I have a 40 rear and put the millwork spring perches that...
Here is my issue with that set up. The 32 is all ready to go for the flathead, plenty of clearance so no cross members need to be cut, no firewall...
This may stir up a little Hokey dust but i just gotta throw this out there. So I'm building out a 29 roadster and following the traditional rule...
Yea I’m needing 5 more inches or so of stretch. I think the PO bought the wrong spring for his future build. I’m just going to use the original...
This spring came with a box of parts for the roadster I’m building, how would you get narrow perches on a model A? Weld new perches on rear end?...
Needs some input fellerz. It says this should fit on model A perches but I’m just coming up way too short. Do I need to take this spring apart to...
So you cut the ball off, do you have to drill out the center in order to push a new ball on?
Not the bones just under the frame, it’s right on the frame
i would need the bearing size to match up as well as the bolt holes..
these have the smaller bolt hole patter as the model A? if thats the case then yes i will swap.
I demand that someone should make them!!! haha, i saw an old post that someone heated and rotated the ball 180 deg ....
i knew this was coming, soooooo here is why i dont want to. i bought this roadster project that came with a bunch of new parts. some of the new...
I've surfed the web and cant find a promising answer to this question, so i am coming to the hot rod gods for guidance . Does anyone make drop...
