Re: Engine Stand Adapter

Hello Dennis - I had already reached out to them and they aren’t really in stock, web site glitch. They said they’d have some by early summer though.

Re: Tubes for American Classic 19 inch radials

I’m having the same issue. I ordered some tubes from Mike’s and the bag was clearly marked “Not For Use With Radials”. Hoping for a December delivery from Coker.

Re: Hood supports

I have the type shown in post #8 above and I’m not sure I’d want to do without. Hood is stable and secure when open and as others have noted, allows access to both sides of the engine.
