"Power Nickle Babbitt" is among the best at least outside of Model A Land.
"Magnolia Metal" has nice period victorian bars - but is a true lead babbitt. I MIGHT do a saw arbor in Magnolia.
The Ford Babbitt formula was given by Steve Ross years ago in an online publication "Rebuilding the Model A Engine." I'm not seeing the publication online now which is too bad as Steve had studied out the Ford techniques and practice - and in another document tested and compared techniques. He put a lot of work into research.
He has Ford Babbitt at: 86%tin 7%copper 7%antimony.
He says the only suitable commercially available babbitt to be used on the Model A is 12SAE Babbitt:
89%Tin 7.5%Antimony 3.5%Copper (http://hirschmetals.com/wp-content/u...bbitAlloys.pdf)
Also he says DON'T use babbitt with more than 1/4 of 1 percent as nickle. Avoid altogether if possible. (This is a surprise for me with power plant/turbine experience - but turbine bearings are "pressure lubricated - the main oil pump "lifts" the turbine spindle before rotation. Technically there is no direct contact between journal and bearing.)
Too bad about the document being removed...
EDIT: FOUND the document within a reference here at Fordbarn.
