Re: Radiator cap gets loose

I gave the ears a few taps with the hammer, seems to have tighten things up a bit.

Will do a test drive when it stops raining.

Re: Bought a 1930 Coupe

Plates arrived yesterday, drove it to work today.
All went well but I must admit that I'm not a fan of the Model A transmission.

Extremely short 1st gear and no synchros will take some getting...

Re: Tillotson leaking fuel

Thanks for all the advice.

Tillotson leaking fuel

The Tillotson carb on my coupe is leaking fuel from the fuel inlet line.

I tried a quick fix with some "thread tape" (don't know what it's called in English) but still leaking.

Any better ideas...

Re: Bought a 1930 Coupe

Yesterday the coupe passed both title and safety inspection without any issues.
Plates and title will arrive during next week and then I can start driving.

Re: Bought a 1930 Coupe

Thanks.

Enkoping is only 40 minutes away from me.



Money and space is the issue, can't keep everything.

Re: Bought a 1930 Coupe

Thanks, it's black.



I had a '28 Phaeton project before but had to sell it a while back to fund a kitchen restoration.

Also had a '53 Customline that I sold to fund this car.

Bought a 1930 Coupe

Sold my '53 Customline and bought a 1930 Coupe, waiting for it to be shipped from California to Sweden.

Running and driving car, I am very excited for it to arrive.

Re: My '53 Customline

It drives nice with the auto, no doubt.

I've just come to the conclusion that I prefer manual, couldn't know that before I tried an auto :rolleyes:

Re: My '53 Customline

Thanks, I'm happy with how it looks but sometimes I sure wish it had a manual transmission instead of the Fordomatic.

I used those soapy steel wool pads and lots of water to get rid of the surface...

Re: 59A Flatty. A good candidate for rebuild? It's full of sludge!
