Re: 52 F1 tie rod end castle nut
Theses are Moog tie rod ends. The tapered hole in the spindle seems to be ok. I checked it with a set of calipers 5/8" all around the hole and the taper on the tie rod is 5/8".

Re: Rebuilt Flathead Problems.
So you turn engine by hand until the zip tie stops going down. Hold the zip tie in that position and turn motor counter clockwise until it hits the zip tie again? Won't it hit the zip tie immediately?

Re: 6 volt Generator in 12 volt system
Any idea of who sells the 1.5 ohm ballast resistors or a part number?
When I call autozone or O reiliy's they say we have the ballast resistors but doesnt tell them what ohm's they are.

Re: 6 volt Generator in 12 volt system
Yes I will be using a 12 volt battery.
So I can use the 6 volt starter relay?
I need a new coil anyhow the top terminal broke off when i took it apart, so should i just get a new 12 volt coil?
