If you look closely at the drawings in the origional post the forward lining is full length and the backside lining is about 2/3 of the shoe.
O.k. so I have later brakes. Thanks.
My brakes don't have the bottom adjustment so I guess I just adjust the top as in the minor adjustment instructions?[ATTACH]
That would be great. Thanks.
I have this thread saved for the water pump assemble information but can't see it properly.. Just putting my pump back together and need to know...
Still havn't got to the body but here are the bits I cut out of the crossrails.[ATTACH]
Here's an older pic I found on my phone, Il'l take some more but this gives you the general idea.[ATTACH]
Yes it looks like your rear bits are the right ones. Il'l get some pics for you.Body is in the corner at the moment while I'm finishing the...
I had a similar thing with a standard coupe I bought that had been pieced together. The tudor floor frames are the same width at the cowl and...
I'd probably work from body mount holes.
Looks like one of those Posies springs. They are made for 44" hanger centres.
Yes Model A axle. That's an old picture. I have since reversed the spring and added shocks.
You need to use a stretch drop with mechanicals, the aftermarkets are too narrow. [ATTACH]
Yes they do. Just checked where I worked it out back when I did mine,1 1/8" each side .Have a look at he mechanical backing plates and you will...
Have someone strech drop a model A axle for you. It looks like you are running mechanical brakes. Be aware i f you intend going to hydraulics it...
Although there are a few wrong measurement on the wescott plan 39 3/4 across the frame rails at the rear crossmember is correct. Stock rear...
I recently assembled a front end with a new So Cal axle and it surprised me how tight a fit the king pins were. As someone said they are usually a...
Maybe try a set of wheels and tyres off someones driver and see what it does. Maybe not that easy to find someone you know with the 5 x 51/2...
They suit a 32 Brookville frame for a Model A, they don't suit a stock 32 frame.
You need a really narrow axle if you run full fenders. The narrow ones don't have much backspace because of the way the mounting plate is made.
Looks like the subframe didn't come assembled?
I have a tudor subframe that came with my 29 coupe body. From the door pillar back is completely different as well as being too short. They say...
Also no breather or filler holes. Filler tube was in inlet manifold and the block has a hole cast into it behind the manifold for the breather....

Answering the origional question definately isn't allowed on the HAMB.:D
Speedway and probably some others sell an adaptor that spaces them and changes bolt pattern all in one.Its the aluminium one about 4th along the...
Also here .https://www.wheelvintiques.com/wheels/hot-rod.html Anyone know what the mounting surface looks like on the aftermarket wheels.? I...
This can be a real minefield. You need to be aware that backspace is what is shown as B on Don's drawing but the width of the wheel is between the...
I think the photos are making it look bigger than what it is.If it's physically smaller than a 39 spindle it is early 28 as Fordors says. They are...
No advantage in height with the 32 spindles.
Separate names with a comma.
