I was trying to keep the crankline in the same place on a full fendered tourer.

Here's a couple of pictures someone sent me of an install they did.

Thanks Monkey Biker

That looks like a snug fit - is that the stock front cross member you have mounted the front engine mount to? why did the RHD make it more difficult.??

The clutch pedal will need to be reshaped a bit to clear the frame rail.

On my '21 on a narrowed A frame, this is how I set up the mech. brakes;






I simply shortened each side of the bellcrank and added 1/4" plates and gussets.

Thanks Ron

Thats encouraging - I thought about the rear engine mounts hung off the rails like a T - seems like the simplest solution. Brakes dont seem to be too much of an issue.

And -Brent- has a similar setup with his A-engined, TT-framed roadster.

Thanks BigCheese

Gary's roadster is one of my all time favorites - looks like he has front brakes so assume A axle?. Not familiar with the bottom T but love the exposed mechanical brake rods. There is no stopping me know!

[youngster]

Mind if I add mine to the lot?

Was there an April Banger meet? I've been out of town and trying to update the Tech links - got March & May, but no Apr with a quick search.....

After a day spent trawling the HAMB following leads from above I think I have found everything I need. I new it would all be in here somewhere.
Thanks to great info and build threads for Brent, Gary and Youngster's A/Ts - absolutely inspirational stuff.
cheers

I was looking at mounting a second crossmember to pick up the A front engine mount. There's the snout of a T sump mounted to the original front crossmember to help line things up.

The body has eventually made it's way onto this my "1927 Mercury" as christened by Mr. Big Cheese...



After messing around porting a B engine that turned out to be cracked I've been offered a hot diamond A engine which if funds allow will find it's way in there.

Anyone know what kind of psi the "B" fuel pump puts out ?

A little slow this morning, I found it 1 1/2 to 3 psi.

Ah, you liked that, did you?

Such a great-looking car!

Thanks Monkey

It now makes sense. Riveting a second cross member in seems a good option for me. allows some flexibility in working out rear axle and torque tube position.

By the way - love your flathead T - there is something incongruous about seeing a bright shiny yellow or red Ford hotrod in the English landscape but your T fits in like some kind of renegade medieval knight. love it!

Jim; This is a great link even for the realativly simple banger motors. I feel smarter already . Well, maybe not smarter but I feel that I'm on the right track thanks to you. Really looking forward to knowing rather than guessing
Thanks Jim !
