Re: 32 glass check dimensions.

Thanks Tom.

When the windows are wound up, is the lower channel almost level with the bottom of the window opening?

Hello. Does anyone have access to 32 2 door sedan glass? I could do with checking the height of the side glass, front and rear. I have made some templates and each one is about 15" at the highest...

Re: 32 Tudor door latch/ window channel problem (fouling).

I worked out what the problem was. I had repaired the strikers by building them up with weld. I had made them too long. The result was they had to be withdrawn further to release the door. The extra...

Re: 32 Tudor door latch/ window channel problem (fouling).

The channels: One is stock but repaired where it had broken in two (lower picture) The other is stock on the bottom with a new top fabricated. Both are pretty straight.

Re: What is it?

These go vertically each side of the grille on 40 fords and similar models.

Re: 32 Tudor door latch/ window channel problem (fouling).

Hard to show but this shows the relationship when in situ. The striker hits the back of the channel.

Re: 41 Commercial PU question

I found the video. It might help, it might not, but it might give you some ideas.

I start messing with the door at around the 29 minute mark.

Re: What did you do today that was flathead V8 related?

Is there enough room to press a tight fitting sleeve over the round part? Might be do-able if you have a lathe.

Re: 41 Commercial PU question

When dealing with door fit problems you need to remove the door striker plate and the alignment wedges if fitted. See how the door shuts. It should just fit into the aperture without touching...

Re: Part I D

Don't want to pour water on your very kind offer but it looks heavily worn to me. The shank should be a constant diameter all the way up. 11/16" diameter (from memory). That one looks to be badly...

Re: 40 production line

GB I think that is a colorised image. It might not be a factory colour, just s guess by the person manipulating the image.
That said, could be wrong.

Re: Juice brakes on a Duece.

It's a neat setup and I saw Matt at Irontrap use the same or similar on a 32 recently. I do not like it however because it relies on two pinned joints. If I were to use those parts I would weld the...

Not sure if this has been linked before, but well worth a watch. I watched at half speed to catch all the details.

Re: Switch to silicon brake fluid?

Dabbled with dot 5 on my t-bird 30 plus years ago but switched back to dot 4 and have dot 4 in all my vehicles. Dot 4 is better than dot 3 in my opinion.

Re: Wheel Cylinder issues

See if anything in this video helps.
https://youtu.be/4QhP2xwqxjA?si=UinEhUTL4yWxH1Rq

Have a look at your rear cylinders and see where the hole is drilled.

Re: Throttle Linkage Rod Angle

If you used 94s last time, the angle would have been less due to the levers on the 94s sticking down rather than up.
