Re: ‘34 Roadster side curtain rods?
From David G's post the other day, it sounds like he still may have some in his possession that he sorted for you? If that's the case, I'd be interested in a 35-36 phaeton set.

Re: ‘34 Roadster side curtain rods?
Did you talk to Third Gen? I'm in the same boat with 35/36 phaeton curtain rods. I found a set of original side curtains I can use for patterns, but no rods yet.

Re: Alternatives to Flywheel Safety Wire

Snap On Cylinder Head Obstruction Wrench
I have three Snap On obstruction wrenches. These let you torque the cylinder head with the distributor in place. Great tool that is no longer made. $60 each, plus shipping.

Re: B Carb on an A?

No.
You can always enlarge or drill more bypass holes in the thermostat to speed up the opening.
