Re: help dowshift 3rd to 2nd

As a test, shift from 3rd into neutral, rev it as high as you think you should.
While still in neutral, push forward lightly into 2nd.
It will grind until it slows down enough.
That engine sound...

What was the direction of impact?
Was he sliding sideways?

Re: Does your Coupe have a Trunk or Rumble seat

If it was a rumble seat you would have holes in the fenders to mount the step plates.

Re: Sticking Brakes

Your brakes seem to go out but then not retract.
Could be a broken spring but most likely brake dust and grease has hardened not allowing the shoes to return.
Just clean good and put back together.

Re: Rear Axle lubrication

Can you mix the two?
I have 600w in both now. Do I have to drain it all and refill?

Re: USB Charging Port Question

I bought a regular power port, attached it to the upper wooden floorboard, and use a 12v adapter. My car is still 6v positive ground so mount it on wood because the housing is live.

Re: Need Door Bumper Help

In the kit pictured in Bratton's catalog they show a machine screw to hold the bumper to the door header, in the download from Snyder's they show a wood screw. Which is correct?

Re: device to jump start my model A

Check out Megawise jump start. They are 12V but as noted they will work.

Re: Dielectric grease on starter switch contacts

If dielectric grease conducts electricity, will it ground to the housing?
If it is not, how will the started function?

Re: Stuck rear hub - how to get it off

One thing I read here (tried it once but can't remember if it worked) was to put the axle nut on a few turns loose, put the wheel back on and drive it around the yard.

Re: 1931 Ford, Trunk or Rumble???

A rumble would have holes in the fenders for steps.

Re: Outsmarting the smart battery charger / maintainer

Hey Chris,


My notes aren't to good on this but here goes.
The power goes from the battery to starter, to terminal box, to ammeter to switch.
The two wires on the old switch are tied together....
