Black 1950 Ford Tudor. Still has 239 flathead, starts and runs well. Has new radiator, new brake master cylinder, generator is rebuilt and a good...
Your license plate and tail light relocation looks so cool. Big improvement.
Carter, just to clarify, when you say "to use those drums", you are referring to the '32-'34's pictured in the original post and not the wide...
No, you have it backwards. '35 drums are ribbed...yours are '32-'34. The 1.75" measurement you show on your original post is to edge of drum....
There are other differences between '32-'34 spindles and '35. You can install '35 drums on '28-'34 spindles but you need the 3/8" spacer to have...
Thanks, Carter. If you use Model A wishbone (2 1/4" perch boss) do you need spacer(s) for '32-'36 axles w/ 2" bosses? Found this oldie:...
Yes to '35 stuff from b.p. out. Yes to Model A (or '32-'34) spindles. Yes to Model A kingpins, keeper pins, actuators. I do not know about...
Them's the ones. Remember, you will use stock Model A spindles, kingpins, and actuators with those, not the Model 48 stuff, but will need to use...
Looking good! Keep doing what you're doing. What's your plan for the wishbone? We made up a belly band to support the ball on our coupe.
The 5.5" length on the clutch release lever sounds too long. It should be 4 7/8" center to center. A shorter arm would give you more travel for...
Grim, Looking at Mart's excellent pics, I can see there's almost no offset if any to the arm so it would be quite easy to fabricate if you use...
You can also make one fairly easily out of some 7/8" i.d. tubing and flat bar bent to suit.
Here's a few pics:
Cos Cob for the last 40 years
So you have a surveillance camera in my garage?....ha, ha. Yeah, also made a horizontal stiffener for the sling shot. We originally had a B50 but...
Thanks for the nice words. I think you've got yours nailed too. Keep 'em coming. Btw, are you able to tension the belt ok? We had some height...
Hilltop, that's a very cool roadster. What's that alternator mounted fan from?
So this is a hot rod? "This is a fiberglass 34 Chevy Vicky-Phaeton built by Chiarenza, featuring an independent front and rear end, and blown...
Really like your car a lot. Enjoyed watching you bomb around in it at the Jalopy Showdown last spring and like seeing you're doing the heart...
Perfect car, perfect house, perfect photographs...... Nice to see those painted Mercury valve covers
They look similar but I really don't know if they marry up. Check in with BCCHOPIT on H.A.M.B. or Ford Barn. He's the guy I learned about this...
Not off topic really. The o.p. was searching for a way to do a dropped axle with mech brakes and for those of us that have, the next step was...
Carter, also the '35 drums have additional ridges around the circumference and are wider to take the 1.75" shoes vs 1.5" on the '32-'34 type. I...
I have them on Model A spindles now and it's the same set up with a juice brake spacer, but as previously said I am converting to '32-34. I agree...
They are '35 drums and I believe all '35s are the same. I'm not sure if they're compatible with juice brake backing plates but I thought I read...
If you are using a stock Model A rear end and torque tube, you would end up exactly where we did and with the same problem. If you make the angle...
Are you using an 8BA or 49AB? Two different animals with respect to location, etc.
Don't notch the frame or offset steering to the left. If you're using a Model A steering wheel it's already too close to the door panel in...
Here you go. The steering box was not a problem. We used an F1 grafted to Model A sector shaft/flange as per Vern. Problem was the rear exhaust...
Thanks, flatford39. Check your pm's.
