Re: Timing gear sheared 12 teeth
There is an old V8 Times article about someone changing a press-on gear, in the car, I think on a 32, basically at the side of the road. Not saying this the the right way to do it, but, back in the...

Re: '33-'34 rear floor wire hoops
This doesn't help with David's question, but, like Steve, I made one. I used 'fence wire', sourced at Home Depot (I think). Pretty strong wire, and 'springy'. For fabric, I had done my top insert...

Re: 1947 Mercury Coupe
Are you asking for pics of just the brace? I have loose ones, if that is what you want. I don't have a pic of them in place, as installed.

Re: Stromberg 97 or Holley 94?
I'll be interested in what the experts say on this one. Tubman's info is good. If I had to choose between the 94 and 97, obviously choose the 94, if a load-a-matic is being used. But, original for a...

Re: Curious what this thing is
comeon Mart and Pete... Is there more to know, regarding that stylish & sign? I've not seen that previously... Is it an 'across the pond' thing?

Re: Motor mount spacers
I've got a pair of the 'repros'... The blue ones. The material is 3/8 x 1 3/4. The height is about 1.55. And the offset of the holes is about 1/2 (guess). As you can tell, they don't exactly match...

Re: Available rear axle ratios in 1948 V8 car....
For whatever it's worth... My 47 (convert, heavy) came with 3.54. A buddy's 48 Merc (convert) came with 4.11. In my opinion, my 47 with 3.54 was a slug around town. I 'hotted up' the engine, then it...

Re: Broke an axle
I have both axles from a 33-34. Both used. I haven't looked at them in a very long time. If interested, let me know, and I'll look-see if I think they are any good.

Re: Various thread pitch’s needed
Heck of it is... on rear axles, and on steering columns, if the threads are REALLY messed up from hammering, then it's my opinion that a thread chaser does a little more damage, than good. So, what...

Re: V8 Times back issues available.
Like Lawson, I also have V8 Times... Mine from the early 80's to current. Also not interested in messing with them. Will eventually go to a recycle bin if someone doesn't claim them.
