There was one larger water pump driven off the camshaft, with a magneto mounted on the inside of the firewall which was typical of a Miller car. A cable drive off the crank nose turned the mag.

The carburetors were Strombergs with some Harry Miller influence, they used 4 bolt bases with one large throttle plate. I believe Ted Horn was the first to switch to the manifold shown with the two...

Re: Front Disc Brakes
There are no brackets for the early spindles that I'm aware of, they are made for the larger '37-'48 bolt pattern.

Re: The holy grail of hot rods...
I’ll take the black one, less is more. The red car has too much gingerbread for my taste and even worse there are mixed themes in the build. Is it a roadster for cruising or does it want to be a race...

Re: 1932 Question - Doors
The door lock and remote control assembly as well as the window regulator from the B160 door will work on your B45.
The garnish mouldings are different and do not interchange.

A question was posed on the HAMB regarding these parts that appear to be bumper brackets, my WAG is they may be for the rear bumper on a 1936 Standard Panel Delivery. Can anyone positively ID them ?...

Re: 1933 ford Victoria
Compare the photos to see the difference. The early ‘33 fenders have the appearance of the Model A or ‘32 fenders, they have a more open look.
