Re: Brake drum question
An option, although maybe a little late in your case, is to have the drums relined and brought back within specification. J&G Relining in Mc Henry, IL. are the guys for this kind of thing.

Re: Break-in gone wrong!
I agree with deuce roadster. Something does not seem right. I am not totally familiar with Ford oil pumps, however I am familiar with metering gear pumps. I have never seen a gear pump that did not...

Re: 1935 21 Stud engine
If you could find a rebuildable engine I would think you could get it rebuilt by someone on the island. How about the guys that rebuilt the La Palma in Santa Cruz. I think they had babbitt pouring...

Re: Saw this on Facebook and just had to share it

Re: Violent shake.
"mechanical sound" does not sound good. I would inspect the u joints for play. Slack in the driveline can cause clutch chatter. I had a similar issue that was solved by replacing the u joints.

Re: Does anyone make 32-34 brake drums?
You do not want to put "A" brakes on a 34. The emergency brake, among other things, is completely different and if you want to remain "Henry" correct you would be going backwards. J and G brakes in...

Re: Door panel backing material?
Rex Pegg in Tacoma stocks "panel board" for automotive upholstery. I think these guys are wholesale only but I'm sure they would steer you to a shop that handles their materials.
