Technical Steering box alignment and Mart invents something. Update 2021 Ep 24 Part 1.

Hello welcome to part 1 of this week's update. I'm still elbows deep into the 32 Sedan project and enjoying it. I hope you're enjoying following along. In this video I address a misalignment issue in the steering box. I also show something I made that I have never seen before. I don't know if I have really invented it but It's new to me. Look out for part 2 which will be published on Sunday.

 

Great Idea on the hood holder.Im going to use this as I run a half hood.Thanks for being inventive.

 

Looking forward to watching!

 

Great feed of information - carry on mate !

 

I have to echo, the hood hold up is very
Clever. Good thinking!

 

Thanks fellas.
Here's a bump for Saturday.

 

What’s your plan for holding the hood
Down now that we see how to hold
It up?

 

Something simple. Nothing fancy. I'm working on a spring at front and rear of each hood side, stretched slightly and hooked over a convenient point. I have something rigged up that works but I'm not happy with the lower attachments. As usual there are no holes directly where the attachment needs to be so a bracket will be required.

 

I always like a spring loaded dead bolt in the hinge hole that you’re using for the prop. I’ve also seen model A and 32 hood hold downs used.

If you’ve got a pair laying around it might be worth a mock up. Would be easy to hide them and mount them on the firewall end. Front might take a little more head scratching
