Re: Brake Drum Paint

I have always had mine powder coated. They mask the bearing and braking surfaces. Reasonable, beautiful and long lasting.

Re: Leaking Head Studs

Was there any type of thread sealant applied to the studs when installing them to the block?
I believe most of us apply our favorite sealant in that area.

Usually, the small leaks will stop on...

Re: rear drum studs

If it is a true 01A rim (1940) it'll work just fine as it is on your '47.

Re: Ujoint gaskets for 1947 Ford

Muscle and a wooden dowel. Put the gasket in each side of the shells and THEN place the shells in place.

Re: Public Service Announcement: Avoiding Ethanol

Seth, I have to wonder if the issues you have occasionally with your small engines has to do with age of the engines?

Re: Can anyone identify this radiator?

Not 39 standard. At least it doesn't appear to be.

Does the top tank have any embossments upon it?

Re: 48 Ford gas fitting going into gas tank

If I understand correctly, you are replacing the fitting at the end of the fuel line. Correct? If so, the line needs to extend no more than 1/2" beyond the end of the fitting.

Re: Public Service Announcement: Avoiding Ethanol

I will agree with you in part.
Old mechanical pumps, etc. will fail after a while IF they have not been upgraded with ethanol resistant diaphragms; a cheap and easy upgrade.

Like many of you, I have NEVER had an issue with ethanol fuel.
All of my modern cars require premium fuel. Two of those are in storage during winter. Still, never an issue.

Re: Spring removal and Columbia installation

SoCal,
Unless I am restoring a car, I install the Columbia pretty much as outlined in their instructions. That is, I remove only the left axle housing.

Re: Ujoint gaskets for 1947 Ford

Originally the bolts were installed FROM the top. They utilized slotted head hex nuts and cotter pins. A total PITA to R&R once the car is assembled.
