I think there are at least 4 if not 5 different manufacturers of early ford wheel cylinders
I'll chime in on the wheel cylinder issues. First off, the issue is that the castings are not machined correctly on a lot of the reproduction...
If you're worried about a few hundred bucks on a flathead, you're probably in the offy camp
You forgot the best part of the trip! Casa Bonita!
I better get working!
Looking good young gun!
Just skimmed the thread. But it could also be a weak battery. I'd load test that first. It has enough amperage to start when cold. But not enough...
I've got a guy here in Skagit valley that does machine work. If you can't find closer
Ive seen them in an engine that had been raced hard and put away in 1962.
And then?
I got 32 front brakes if yoy want to upgrade
Fair point. Even when I make something "shitty" its done with careful planning and execution. And isn't haphazard with wires running everywhere

Welder up, grinder down.
Can we see inside?! Please!
We both know you're not getting out of that booth
Either get Neal's steering box or alternatively ....go drive a model A. Preferably a 28-29 and then the 32 steering box won't be so bad.
Thanks for explaining that!
Parallel leaf rear? What's going on with the spring mounts? Am I seeing upper and lower for height adjustments? Sorry. I'm not super familiar...
You're gonna need an adapter ring to support the wire wheel correctly, so you don't crack the hub. And you will also need a spacer that spaces...
I need to hear more stories about Mal Hooper
Yeah you definitely gotta be careful of the "rust repairs"
I'd buy the nicest restored car i can afford and get to ruining it
