Re: Handbrake Schematic
Another question for you all. I’m told that the felt anti-rattle piece is a good thing to include when rebuilding. Bratton’s and Mac’s carries it, but no one else seems to. Pictured is the one from...

Re: Handbrake Schematic
Good to hear. I was born and raised in North Seattle area so I know the terrain. Relatives lived in Port Gamble so we frequented the Edmonds-Kingston Ferry many a time. I'm hoping to drive my...

Re: Handbrake Schematic
And yes, just the handle. I purchased a nicely done butler finish handbrake, so I'm transferring/inspecting the guts of my old handbrake into the new.

Handbrake Schematic
I've been searching through past posts on handbrakes and have not seen too much in the way of schematics of the insides of a handbrake. I'm getting ready to take the innards out of my old handbrake...

Re: Rear panhard assembly
I was just looking at Snyder’s front and rear Panhard bars and wondering if they are worthwhile to have. My car drives find under normal conditions, but would these help handling if you were caught...

Re: Spindle /king pin spacer.
Yup! This diagram came from MAFCA and answered my question. It’s the only schematic I have found with this kind of detail.

Re: King pin
Quick question - should the cup be facing up with felt against the axle, or upside down with felt against the lower king pin bushing?

Re: Winfield Head
I've looked closer and can see the faint inscription of a 6 in the serial number area, so I'm sure its a yellow head. Spark plug holes are 18mm with 14mm adapters so I assume this is an early yellow...

Re: Winfield Head
Thanks for the input. I'm sure I'll be happy with it as well. I'll be using a Stipe touring cam with it on a B diamond block with Stipe oil pump so hopefully she'll be good on the open road

Re: Modifying oil pump.
