Re: number of posts
I clicked on the link and immediately got the eBay page.
But -- I'm on my probably 10 years old Kindle Fire.
I have a new iPhone 11 that I haven't learned yet, not going to try it ;-(

Re: Roadster or Coupe?
My mother's two teenage sisters rode in the rumble seat one summer from Killeen to San Marcos, Texas.
For you non-Texans, that's about 120 miles on 1930s roads.
Never again, they said.

There is also Universal Vintage Tire and Kelsey Tire. Both have websites that show most of the same tires in the Coker catalog. Happy searching!

Re: O/T Explain water bucket mouse trap

Re: Odd brake rods
Seems like someone tried to adapt/fit too-long brake rods.
Anything other than a pure, STRAIGHT brake rod will tend to lengthen under tension giving a soft pedal. Very unsafe.

Re: Those were the days....
I think we're missing the labor cost of producing the kit -- cutting, measuring. All that goes into the box you get.
YOUR labor is added to that to put it on the car.
