Re: Replacing Top on 1930 Tudor Sedan
Michael,
Be very careful with the epoxy wood preservative materials. Stuff like Get-Rot is very liquid, about like water, and could find its way onto the interior panels. If the outside edge of...

1929 CCPU Top Assembly
I am building a 1929 CCPU and have completed the pieces for the wood top. I am considering putting the wood pieces together on the truck with some glue which would allow me to deal with the top as an...

Re: Floor Board Dimension Drawing
It should be noted that the floorboards for the earlier Model A's are different due to the location of the emergency brake handle. Battery access is also different.

Re: CCPU Rear View Mirror
Neil,
The procedure that you outline is exactly what I did but I had to compromise on the lower weld as the bottom was not accessible. Poor welds is probably what contributed to so many failures but...

Re: CCPU Rear View Mirror
Normally the nut bar is welded inside the forward door post. If, for some reason, those welds fail the nut bar can drop down the door post behind the window escutcheon. In my particular case, the...

Re: 29 Tudor front seat question
The front seats on my 1930 Tudor are the same, t.e. they are interchangeable. I do not know for sure but my guess would be that the seats in the 1929 Tudor would also be interchangeable. Making seat...

Re: exhaust
Use the Aries clamp. It is not cast iron and will not break. Good product. Good value.

Re: EvapoRust
Sometimes it is possible to take a digital picture of a subject and then enlarge the picture to show hidden details. Might be worth a try.

Re: touch up paint
Your best bet would be to take the car to a paint dealer of your choice and have them match the color. To do anything different could well result in other problems.
Good luck,

Re: Manifold machining
Thank you for your comments.
As I understand it, there are two "adjustable" supports under the manifold below the hold down clamps. If I were to design such a support I would have it threaded into...

Re: A and AA side mirror mounts
The mirror on early 1929 CCPU trucks was mounted above the upper hinge using the same fasteners as the LH side of the sun visor. This was the same location as used on the earlier AA trucks.

You should be able to "fish" replacement "D" nuts into position and then weld or braze them in place. Try that before you experiment with the rivnut idea. A rivnut is installed into a round hole...

Re: pickup bed wood
I misread the drawing dimension for the thickness. It should be 13/16. A dimension of 11/16 is way too thin. Thanks to Rusty for pointing that out.
