Re: Locking Gas Cap for Model A Question

I've seen them for '32 and up and all those seem to have an opening of approximately 1.5". The Model A opening is 1.8". Nothing listed anywhere for Model A.

Re: Help with '30 Pickup Rear Fender Braces

Bob,
The fender that I took off had a bolt throught the flange just above the brace. There is a hole that goes through the bed, but there was never a bolt in it. It appears to go through the...

Help with '30 Pickup Rear Fender Braces

I have a new pair of higher quality repo fenders (and braces) for my '30 pickup. There is a lip on the flange of the fender that interferes with the location of the fender brace. It looks like any...

New Rear Fenders for 1930 Pickup

I bought a pair of new rear fenders for my '30 Pickup. For the most part they look great, but I'm concerned about the original braces on the rear. I'm presuming they were bent or the wrong braces to...

Re: Have you ever seen a schematic like this?

Re: Exhaust whistle question

I have an Aermore mounted at the tailpipe. I made the cutout from off-the-shelf exhaust parts at my local auto parts store. I used a manual choke cable mounted at the front of the seat riser. The...
