Re: Radiator cap gets loose
I gave the ears a few taps with the hammer, seems to have tighten things up a bit.

Radiator cap gets loose
The radiator cap on my 1930 A gets loose from engine vibrations/driving.
There are no unnormal vibrations, the cap is just very easy to open by hand too, you barely have to touch it and it opens.

Re: Bought a 1930 Coupe
Plates arrived yesterday, drove it to work today.
All went well but I must admit that I'm not a fan of the Model A transmission.
Extremely short 1st gear and no synchros will take some getting...

Tillotson leaking fuel
The Tillotson carb on my coupe is leaking fuel from the fuel inlet line.
I tried a quick fix with some "thread tape" (don't know what it's called in English) but still leaking.
Any better ideas...

Re: Bought a 1930 Coupe
Yesterday the coupe passed both title and safety inspection without any issues.
Plates and title will arrive during next week and then I can start driving.

Re: Bought a 1930 Coupe
Thanks.
Enkoping is only 40 minutes away from me.
Money and space is the issue, can't keep everything.

Re: Bought a 1930 Coupe
Thanks, it's black.
I had a '28 Phaeton project before but had to sell it a while back to fund a kitchen restoration.
Also had a '53 Customline that I sold to fund this car.

Re: My '53 Customline
It drives nice with the auto, no doubt.
I've just come to the conclusion that I prefer manual, couldn't know that before I tried an auto :rolleyes:

Re: My '53 Customline
Thanks, I'm happy with how it looks but sometimes I sure wish it had a manual transmission instead of the Fordomatic.
I used those soapy steel wool pads and lots of water to get rid of the surface...
