Re: Birthday present
After you are through with your insurance company apply a little black paint over the primer that shows. Not a permanent solution but it will let you relax a little until you have time to do it...

Re: Rim powder coating
If you added your general location to your profile maybe someone would suggest a place that can do it and is close to where you live.

Re: Wanted board
Looks fine to me. Same place as always. If it was missing for a period of time I didn't miss it. See: https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=15

Re: lincon brakes
You should check this with the manufacturers of the reproduction Lincoln brakes, I think they have solved those problems with both the front and rear.

Re: 6 volt positive ground
Neither side is ground, it just measures the current going through the wire. Connect the wires and blow the horn. If is shows discharge it is correct, otherwise reverse the wires.

Re: lincon brakes
There are only a couple of things I remember about the Lincoln brakes and you might find them useful. The bolt pattern on the Model A spindle is smaller and one of the suppliers makes a Lincoln...

Re: Made in USA?
Please don't just toss them. Call the supplier and tell them you want a refund and would be glad to ship the parts back if they pay the postage. Until this happens they will just keep selling them,...

Re: 12 V conversion
The main problem is that the '36 mounts the fan on the pulley and the front bearing for the alternator is not strong enough for the load. I would go with a later 2 brush generator ('39 standard for...

Re: Model A rearend conversion
What many of the people are overlooking is that the Model A is not a car you would like to run all day at 75 MPH. I have a '31 RDPU with 3.54 gears. It is happy at 55 MPH. It will do 75 but at that...

Re: Model A rearend conversion
Remember you will need to add brackets to keep the rear end from twisting. My advice would be a later, stronger, rear end if you are going to make the brackets.

Re: Shopping list for new A
The reproduction KR Wilson is my first choice. You really need one that pulls on the groove in the hub if it is really stuck. See http://www.vintageprecision.com/products/hub_pullers/index.html ...

Re: Shopping list for new A
Post a picture of the hub puller, I doubt it is the one you want to use. Buy enough parts to tune up the car, if it doesn't need a tune up store them under to seat. Always carry a spare condenser,...

Re: King pin replace
I would take it to a local machine shop and have it honed. It will be better and if you are doing one it might even be less expensive.
