That’s worked! I drilled the hole and pumped air in and the stainless popped off. Some of them didn’t pop off but the air separated it and made...
Phil, any update on how this turned out. I have what may be the same raw casting. I was looking at my pieces and it looks like I will have some...
Yea, I pulled the oil pan and looked at everything from underneath. Lots of sludge in the pan, about an inch deep. I think I’ll just clean it...
I don’t have any oil pressure in this Flathead 8BA. I pulled the engine and found that the gear on the end of the camshaft is spinning on the...

I ended up doing this. The accelerator pump discharge jets were clogged, not squirting at all. I soaked the body in alcohol and threaded this...
That might work! I never heard of that before but I just watched a couple YouTube videos and it sounds like it works. Thanks for the suggestion....
I used long 1/2-20 studs with the spacer so that I didn’t have to drill the holes out on the wheel. Doing this I was able to use the correct lug...
Jaw22w, I think that would work for the wheel and tire but then I still need the hub/drum balanced. I’ll have to look at that bubble balancer,...
I have another question on this. Does anyone know where I can balance these rear wheels. I talked to the local tire shops like Belle Tire and...
Sorry for the late reply. I got them from Rally America out of California. http://rallyamerica.com/ I talked to a guy named Jimmy that works...
The brakes are 45 fin Buick drums drilled for the wide five pattern and 39 backing plates converted to Bendix style. I haven't got too far with...
I already widened the wheels. I bought 6.5" wide outer hoops and welded them to the wide five inner part. The tires are 8.90 16 and the hoop...
Okay, I took some pictures.[ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH] It's going to be low, you guys were correct about that. Because it's low the tires...
I'm building a model A roadster and I am using a 1936 Ford rear end with the wide five boult pattern. I needed to bring the wheels out to clear...
After reading this thread I decided to make a flange for my F1 box and get is machined down to mount it on the Model A frame rail. I created this...
Thanks for the replies. I filed the surface down and the hubs fit on good. When I push them on they do get stuck and need to be hit off.
(First time working on a Banjo rear) I'm currently assembling my rear end and got to the point where I'm cleaning the hubs and getting them...
After further research and head scratching, I decided this isnt a F1 steering box. At least its not the 1940-52 box that everyone likes to use....
Thanks, that's good to hear. One of the ears was cut off. It does fit flush in my Model A frame rail because of that ear cut off.
Is this an F1 steering box. I thought these things were supposed to be small and therefore simple to use in a hotrod build. This one seems large...

I'm wanting to put a T5 on my 49-53 flathead and did a lot of searching here on the HAMB. This thread does a good job of summing up what all the...
Nope, Thats just the way I built it. You can scrape the rear or raise it up to a nice ride height. Big thanks to the rest of the Road Devils...
Cut that protruding bowl screw right off and sand and polish the aluminum smooth on both the top and body. You can seal the carb up with one less...
Looking at the pictures I would say there is nothing wrong. You grinded down your welds good. Just feel the panel so see if it is ready for...
