Re: Which Side Mirror?
I believe in functionality over aesthetics. On one of my cars, the external mirrors came from a motor cycle. I made adaptors to mount them to the windscreen post (Phaeton). On another, a Ute made to...

Re: Which Side Mirror?
Any mirror that clamps onto the edge of the door will ruin the paint, I expect. I ALWAYS use the hinge mounted ones

Re: Idle Mixture Screw
shew01, A lean mixture will burn the valves because of the high temperatures and there will still be some oxygen in the exhaust gasses. A slightly rich mixture means there is no oxygen - it has all...

Re: Real Wheel Noise?
IMO, anybody who hasn't seen how the hub wears at the axle nut end hasn't taken a rear hub off and apart. That wear allows the hub to "wobble" on the axle and will eventually lead to the axle...

Re: Well used A
I recently saw a sign on the back of a Model A which read "Save the planet. Drive a car that will last 100 years."
