Still plugging away… [ATTACH]
Lol, as an ex hockey player I was already considering making my own out of pucks! Thanks!
The motor mounts? Yeah they’ve already collapsed, where do you get the ones with metal bands? I haven’t seen them.
Just an updated picture of my build (but I’m still putting the details on my YouTube channel) since I haven’t updated here in some time. This...
Thanks for all the replies. Now I just need to find a 31 passenger side. That’s just a camera angle thing, the end is square. If you were...
Car anyone provide ID assistance on this splash apron? I need to find its passenger side mate. It is about 59 inches long. I think it is a late...
The lifter is definitely still in there, I can see and feel it form underneath. That’s what I’ve decided to do. Just haven’t got to it yet.
I figured that was the answer. The heads are still on it right now so I can’t take pictures of the block surface. I guess I’ll just put the oil...
Thanks for all the help & support guys! Now let me know what you think about this idea; I can get a new lifter for two bucks at Dennis...
Just crawled out from under it and I found the fourth piece of the circle… still attached to the lifter. Bummer, what started out as seeing if...
I just checked and lifters are 1” so that’s not encouraging. It’s just crazy to think it could break off so cleanly… it’s looking like the prime...
That was my first thought but I don’t think so. The edges are perfectly square to the surfaces and the surfaces are flat and parallel. A valve...
No, it looks like it was just a disc… like nickel but bigger.
Same thickness all over. Like a 32nd shy of 1/8”
Thicker and bigger than a penny or nickel. 1” diameter and just shy of 1/8” thick.
The pieces are not a magnet if that’s what you’re thinking, unfortunately. They are ferrous though as a magnet will pick them up.
So I’m in process of seeing if I can revive a 52 8BA flathead and dropped the oil pan today to clean the sludge and check it out… Not good news...
Got my flathead V8 mounted in the chassis. Made the front V8 motor mounts out of the rear motor mounts for the Model A four cylinder: [MEDIA]
For better or worse I built the transmission mount out of a piece of 46 truck crossmember; [MEDIA]
Are you at all concerned about your shackles being flat and not at a 45 degree downward angle? I’ve got a 46 truck banjo with Model A perches,...
Trial and error continues but I’ve finally got a rolling chassis now that I got my front end installed… [MEDIA]
The continuing saga of installing my 46 banjo has ended! (for now) [MEDIA]
Still working on my 46 banjo… this time I’m tearing into the brakes; [MEDIA]
I put a link to this video in my build thread but I thought I’d drop it here too in case any one stumbles on this thread in the future… but here’s...
Still trying to get my rear on the ground… converted my 46 banjo to slip-over drum brakes. [MEDIA]
Thanks for the help. Decided to order the longer perch pins. If I grind the bones thinner I won’t be able to mount my shocks on the bone yoke.
Thanks, I didn’t know longer ones were available. Thanks, I was wondering if that was possible but I thought it was cupped and not a straight...
So I was planning on using this old pair of 37ish? split wishbones I got on my T-touring/Model A frame project and just discovered an issue....
And the build goes on…. [MEDIA]
I made my own using the ones off a Model A banjo. I have a YouTube video about it at; [MEDIA]
