Re: What kind of Wide Five Drum is this?
Thank you Lars. That rear drum I sold you is the only one I've ever seen. Never have seen a front, like on the ute above. How did you fix the bearing issue?
Show us a pic of your roadster!

Re: What kind of Wide Five Drum is this?
I think its a bolt on to make either the hub or drum replaceable if need be. Imagine there is probably some NOS drums around that nobody knows what they fit!
This one was really good on drum...

Re: 59A motor in 1934 Fordor sedan
Yeah, I made my own front brackets too, to get the height exactly where it needs to be.
Yours looks good, tight though! can you still slip a fan belt thru the crank and guide?

Re: 59A motor in 1934 Fordor sedan
usually you have to cut the front pulley off the crank pulley. Then, the crank is a little longer so it will hit the loop for the hand crank. Some cut this off, or you can buy a new one for a...

Re: Clutch won't dis-engage
Rockfla, when the transmission is in neutral, that means the input shaft bone is no longer connected to the output shaft bone.

Re: Clutch won't dis-engage
yeah, all good advise above. I drive around with the clutch pedal down and jump on and off the gas. They break loose and usually not happen again. Seems as though you need to drive it more...

Re: my new clutch slips!
Possible, but not likely. Everything was new and clean. You're not the first I heard of with no problems, but others say it may not work. Even the old Rumbleseat data he says to use bigger...

Deuce, I've not done anything about it. Only slips at low RPM if you floor it, quite usable as is. I intend to someday pull it apart, check spring tension and replace with something slightly...
