Re: Original 1932 frame and repo body

Re: Original 1932 frame and repo body
Just off the top of my head, if the fame horns are going to be covered by those "frame horn cover pieces", it might be possible to shim the tank up. (Probably a bad suggestion.)

aje: Go to Petehoovie's post above your last post, click on his name. That should allow you to email your pictures to him and he would most likely be happy to post LARGE SIZE images here.

Death of a tool??
I've stopped into a couple of big box stores as well as our local parts purveyor looking for the ever popular 1/2" x 9/16" open end wrench. All they stock are combination wrenches. If you have to...

Laser welding
I see a lot of “reels” on FaceBook showing laser welding. They make it look so easy! Do any of you Barners do laser welding? Comments? Thanks!

Re: How much paint?
Thanks for all the advice folks! I’m happy to know that I shouldn’t be running out of paint half way through. This winter I’ll try to take out all of the wiring and stuff so I can paint in the spring.

Re: handbrake cable installation, how?
I've had the little thin steel thingies fall off. I'm trying wee little "trailer hitch pin clips" to see if they'll stay on. Bummer if the cable comes disconnected from the actuating lever in there...

Re: Making new paint look old??
I've been away from the Barn for a bit and it was wonderful to be back. Why can't we put hearts and thumbs up icons on pictures? Garry's grandkids deserve a little bit of acknowledgement!

Re: F1 steering box adjustment
I did the set up a few years ago. Something like the worm bearing preload, I'm positive I got that right. The sector engagement I'm pretty sure was a judgement call and I figure I just judged on the...
