Projects Something from nothing. 29 roadster build

My car is running an early intake with all 8ba parts.

 

You going to Dragway Sunday? How do I tell a early intake from a late one? What is this one?

That's an early one

 

Late ones have two holes up front, road draft tube and oil filler.

 

I'm going to epping

 

The two bolts are for holding and adjusting the fan and it's corresponding carrier.
You don't need a stinking fan! Just take the radiator out to get that engine functioning air cooled with a little sal****er mist.[emoji51]
Man your gonna have her finished in no time now, nice.

Hey Ron- if you aren't running a hood or if you don't care about making a custom one, I just made dominoes to slide the radiator out two inches. Cut five inches out of an extra leaf that I took out (the flat part of course) and then just drilled a couple holes in them. Pushed the radiator just far enough out to clear the fan. I am thinking of stretching my hood a inch and a half to fill the gap.

You are a crafty one Ben, I like it.

here's what my 29 is running Ronnie..A 34 generator with fan mount on the pulley. I had to cut down my fan blades a little but it clears the radiator.

 

Thanx George, that helps. I have to get something like that

"Ask and ye shall receive"
Glad it worked out!

 

I need a model A 3 Window coupe ...[emoji6]

It's great seeing people pulling together to help get your car done.
Can't wait to see it together and on the sand. [emoji1360]

Gave up on the generator for now. Front brakes BLAM! new tank needed some support so some 1x1 square did the trick, gas tank to be strapped tmrw after dragway swapmeet KA-POW! got some hardware for column drop so I slammed that in BOOM!

Way to Super Hero it. Keep it going!

 

Rear brakes done. Man, those concentric (spell check) washers are a pain in the ***! Just getting them to seat w/the bolts and the shoes AND the backing plate! Must be a trick. . . Finally strapped the tank in. 3/4 banding and wing seals from work. We use this on piping and round ducts to hold the lagging on, perfect

I hate 39-40 brakes...they're a pain in the *** to adjust.

 

You always want something soft between the gas tank and straps. Old inner tube or even thick tar paper will work, but never metal to metal.

I didn't think of that. F!, now I get to do that twice too. Seems to be a recurring theme

Go, Ronnie Go! Go !!

 

Just run the straps like that for now. Fix them after the race

 

I am with you all the way on this issue......they **** to try and get set just right....So close but never quite right. Almost 15K miles on my 3 window and still trying to get them just right....

 

I put rubber mat on the tank so I had to do new bands. my brothers and nephews and maybe a friend or two are coming over for a wiring and plumbing party this w/end. With some luck I might hear this pile of parts in a couple days
