Re: 33 Phaeton questions from Sri Lanka ceejay,
All of the above well-meaning advice is for LHD fours. Your starter switch control is cable operated and the open question remains "where was it located on the dash". When the change was made in late '32 to a foot controlled starter switch for LHD fours, it was NOT made for RHD fours. I have a '33 four and it has a foot-controlled starter switch, but it's LHD so that's no help. Have you tried sending a PM to "Doctor's Ford" as suggested earlier? |
Re: 33 Phaeton questions from Sri Lanka All my RHD dashes have had holes (now welded )in the right of the Amp meter
Quot .The starter like the pick up 4 would be a cable nearest the driver .In the case of the US dash on the left ,were a right hand drive one it would be on the right as the picture ,the starter butt ion is about like the Model A .picture but it would take a cable |

Re: 33 Phaeton questions from Sri Lanka [QUOTE=ceejay;527143]Oh dear !! This means someone actually went to the trouble of sourcing later 16" Ford wheels and installing them on my 33 !! So they could have. Hanged anything else too.
It may well be that the wheels you have are original. Since there is scant evidence to support options, you may wish to enjoy what you have!!! |

Thank you every one for your input !! much appreciated !!
Ok so the starter cable may have been on the gauge panel part of the dash you reckon ? next to the amp meter... ok I will look for evidence on a welded up hole there. Oh I ship huge consignments from the USA all the time... I brought down 3/4 of a 58 Buick and 1/2 a 60 Pontiac for my restorations. I have a really good shipper who send a container to Sri Lanka every month. I just need to send what ever parts to their NJ address. The wheels on my car are quite bad. I see some bent spokes and plenty of evidence of the insides on the hubs being very badly corroded before restoration. This is the first time I saw a wire wheel where the spokes are permanently fixed to both the hub and the outer rim and they have no nipples to tighten the spokes. Have a look at the attached photo. Isn't that a good option if a set of new wheels ? I know it is not a Exact replica but it is quite close appearance wise isn't it ? What would the stock 17" wheel sizes have been ?? 17X what width ? what is the bold pattern and what was the back spacing ? if very good wheels are available used, that may be an option too but tell me what you guys think of these new wheels |
Re: 33 Phaeton questions from Sri Lanka The stock 17" wheel is 3.5" wide I believe.They are available but make sure that whoever you buy them from checks them for being true and no pitting if possible.I helped a fellow in Chile get a set of 16" Kelsey's for his 35 coupe.It took awhile to find 5 good wheels and then I had them sandblasted and primed for him.He was very happy.Fortunately he works for the US Embassy so shipping was simple.

Re: 33 Phaeton questions from Sri Lanka Ceejay
I have an NZ RHD Parts List for '32 '34 which lists - Starter Switch- 46F-11475 Control [ starter switch] assembly. This goes with 46F 11450 Starter Switch assembly. The 40 [V8] is listed as ''Rod, Starter Switch Push'', which may mean the RHD 4 is a cable/dash knob. Your very rare car would have been supplied by Ford Canada to Ford India. There are some RHD Model 46 '33 phaetons in Australia [ with different Ford Australia bodywork] & others in Argentina which originate from the US. |

Re: 33 Phaeton questions from Sri Lanka Ok Charlie... if that's what you guys say then that't the rout I'll take. As long as i can get very very good original wheels, I'll be happy... Since you guy say its a rare and desirable car, I'm very keen to put it absolutely right.

Re: 33 Phaeton questions from Sri Lanka At least 6 on Epay right now!!! FORD 17" spoke wheels!

Re: 33 Phaeton questions from Sri Lanka CEEJAY Several days ago in your thread on the model A barn,I said that the 33 RHD Fords likely used the starter switch mounted on the steering box.In rethinking that,does your car have the gas pedal centered below the steering column & between the pedals like a RHD model A? If so,the switch mounted on steering box will not work as the button would be under the gas pedal.Im sure the early 32 pull cable starter is the correct one for your car.I would think the pull knob would be in easy reach on the dash.Your engine # makes it a US engine.The 33 CDN B coupe I used to own had an engine & frame #of CBTxxxx.The generator on your car appears to be from a later model vehicle.The ign coil on my 33 was mounted in the center of the angled section of the firewall & the coil faced toword the engine.If you need to rebuild the waterpump,a model A rebuild kit will work,but you will need to shorten the pump shaft & reuse the B impeller.You should always drill the impeller & shaft for a 3/32" roll pin to make sure it doesnt move.

Re: 33 Phaeton questions from Sri Lanka Thanks for that columbiA. I think general consensus is that the pull cable starter is correct for this Right hand drive 4 cylinder car.
This car has been converted to 12 Volts. That's why it has been fitted with a later generator and different ignition coil. They have retained the 6V starter and it cranks the engine like mad when you hit the starter :) |
