Re: Briggs Town Sedan Door Sills

It appears the Murray has a different door sill than the Briggs. The Briggs definitely uses screws, the holes are countersunk.

JayJay, Thanks for the heads up on the finish washers at MAC's. The...

A while back I got a set of NORS door sills for my '30 Briggs Town Sedan at an extremely good price. (Bratton's wants $180 for them). The other day I started to install them and noticed the ones on...

Re: ammeter problems

Can't say I have ever seen "a quality off the shelf ammeter that will fit the same opening"... If you know of one, please let us know.

Re: Grab handle

I certainly wish you were right!! It would give me less heartburn if I didn't have to drill holes. But I do need something to help the CEO to get in.

Re: Grab handle

The upper one appears to be half way between the dash rail mounting screws. My dash rail does not have a screw where the lower one is located.

Re: Marvel Carburetor

Same with the Marvel Schebler, soft metal. Ensure not to over tighten the screws. I only tighten the screws until the lock washer flattens, no more. I have been cutting my own gaskets also using...

Re: Grab handle

Re: converting to 1970 v8 points for model a

Really? I find the opposite to be true.



Ford had a number of point designs between the Model A and the Y-Block.

Re: rear brake track how do you check it

Nice tool GeneBob. I enjoy seeing tools people make.

I made a similar tool when I installed my FHT brake kit. Since the front tracks are not used with the FHT kit I only made a tool for the rear....

Re: Grab handle

Re: Reamers

Look thru Bratton's printed or online catalog. They usually list what size reamer (among other measurements in their parts description). For example front spindle bushings "Ream to .813" - .8135.

Re: leaking head gasket?

Re: 3 x spark plugs

Here's a little trivia for you;

Ever notice on the BOX of a NOS 3X spark plug the "3" has a flat top while on the Repro BOX the "3" has a round top? The opposite what the plugs have. Weird, eh?
