Re: Pate Swap Meet Flathead Speed Equipment

My product was a dash panel that he bought and then cast his own copies from. None of these flathead parts. But, maybe I should just find some of these flatty parts and cast my own from them? ...

Re: 40 rear drum on a 32 rear axel?

I can’t understand why they would work on the front but not the rear. They’ve been used on the back of old Fords since new.

Re: 40 rear drum on a 32 rear axel?

The Jumbos don’t like the little nubs inside the studs? I thought General Jumbos were made especially for ‘35 and older Fords?

Re: Pate Swap Meet Flathead Speed Equipment

That OP (Terry Webster) was a thieving bastard (he copied my product and sold it as his own). But now he’s dead.

Re: Anybody use "Ezsteer" P/S conversion from Ebay?

If that’s the same company I’d steer clear of them. If it’s just some new guy who picked that name out of a hat, boy he chose poorly. I’d still find another route.

Re: Narrow V8 Rear Axle

He has about a dozen threads spread over the Fordbarn and the HAMB asking how to solve this “problem”, but refuses to post a pic to show how bad it really is. I can’t fathom how guys have been...

Re: Narrow V8 Rear Axle

Are you aware you can’t fit old Ford wires to modern brakes without a thick adapter? The wheel has an outer mounting flange that hits the drum of a modern brake. That’s why we use the 40-48 year...

Re: Brake Shoe Orientation

Chaplin, you’d need to switch the backing plates to the proper year as the shoes.

Re: 1932 Ford Three Window Body Tag

There was a thread with a “registry” of 32 3-windows body numbers. I can’t remember if it was here or on the HAMB. Had a surprising number of bodies submitted.

Re: Leaking Head Studs

Many references to guys retapping the stud holes to “clean” them when rebuilding engines. But the holes are built with a tighter tolerance than the taps used, and are as such opened up too much. A...

Re: Waterpumps with smooth pulleys

Don’t confuse the 59A stuff with the 8BA stuff (you say “up to 50”). Big changes in 1949, and more variety of pulley, castings, and belts.

Re: rear drum studs

You mean a drum/hub assembly, not a reproduction drum, right? And, the studs you found were the same length as original, not something a parts book jockey handed to you, right?

Re: 1932 Ford Subrail Frame Extensions

The 3-window has a different shape back there. I really doubt the rear extensions are the same.

Re: Are 1934 and 1935 auot bumpers the same?

Rumbleseat trick of regreasing a throwout bearing?

Years ago I read in Rumbleseat’s tips how he would drill a small hole in the outer radius of an old-but-good throwout bearing to add more grease. He said he would then screw a small screw into the...

Re: 42 Ford Sedan Radius Rod

The front tires look rather big. Maybe they are causing the darting. Extra scrub. Double-check your toe in too.

Re: 46-48 front drum replacement, or??

I found another possible reason for your fit issue. The top fixed anchor DOES move. You need to assemble all, and with the top anchor nut loosely snugged, step on the brake pedal to center the...

Re: dual master cylinder

Nothing normal about that in an early Ford. He can get where he needs to be with simple parts and maybe some small adapters. No need for big fabrication.

Re: Closed drive shaft

Much simpler to change a few parts in the transmission with wrenches than to rework the X member and rear suspension with saws and welders.
