Nice seat frame from a 1949-1959 Studebaker C-cab truck, I believe this fits all 2R/3R/E series trucks, someone correct me if I am wrong. Tracks...
Seat frame for 1957-1960 Ford F100/F250/F350. The tracks are in good shape and move freely. The outer perimeter of the frame has some rust, not...
1941 P11 coupe here. Jaguar front end and OT motor. Work in progress.
i have used a Howe internal TO bearing on a T5 more than once with great results. You just need to make sure that the fully compressed bearing...
My dad's a TV repairman, so I've seen lots of tools. That's a taint micrometer.
I have used Howe hydraulic throwout bearings specifically with T5s in some past projects. Getting zero lash (or slightly greater) is a little...
Can someone tell me if a '40/'41 Plymouth coupe seat interchanges with a 2DR sedan? Talking front seat here if it is not obvious. I am assuming...
OK, here is a link to a 2006 catalog that shows the start of the 1/2" wheel studs. According to Dorman, 610-258 is the stock stud for certain...
Start with a Dorman catalog (online, do a search) that has wheel studs. Last time I looked, they provide the specs for all of the studs that they...
One more small point to add to toddc's excellent post - the later XJS cars switched to rear "outboard" brakes vs. the earlier unsprung set up. I...
The "common" front and rear setups are from Series II and Series III XJ6 (1974 through 1987?) and XJS cars (1976 to sometime in the 90's, not sure...
IIRC, the interference is only at the "shoulder" area of the hub/wheel mating surface, and would not require increasing the ID throughout the...
An '86 XJS would be inboard brakes with either a 2.88 or 3.07 ratio, to the best of my knowledge.
I usually plumb the proportioning valves in the engine compartment, near the master cylinder. You could hide it further back along the frame as...
I doubt that the Jag m/c has reservoirs that are properly sized for rear drums. I have never built a brake system without an adjustable...
It's been a while since I read through this entire thread, but in case this hasn't been mentioned yet--the factory XJ6 setup included circular...
Thanks 117--I think the 15" riveted rims are around 12 5/8", so that sounds about right. Now to research donor hoops.
Can anyone tell me the OD of the "centers" of the 16" Dodge/Plymouth rims used on cars through '48? Not asking about the hub center, but the...
Really doubt that they can be swapped. Dodge fenders are most likely a little longer. Those cars have different wheelbase and track dimensions...
The only way that would possibly make sense is if you had a different amount of caster/camber adjustment shims on the driver's side vs. passenger...
Got any pics?
Since no one has responded to your ad, I call dibs on the grinder and filter.
Where's Kevin? Does anyone know if he bored the pistons yet?
Interesting info regarding the Cad motor, which I haven't mocked up yet. Guess that probably rules out the Jaguar front end--it's a rear steer...
cj--thanks! BRT--Probably keeping the I beam for starters until the drivetrain is sorted out. If and when I go IFS, will probably use a Jag XJ6...
My new project, a short/wide '60 big window.....rust-free cab floors, corners and steps. Still have to pick it up, it's about 300 miles away. Will...
