Updates to my F-1 Flathead

Other than the wiring I have a few dozen irons in the fire, heres one of them. The Linkage and Fuel log after some polishing, cutting and bending I'm ready to silver solder tonight.

 

The Linkage mods.

 

Looks really nice, is that FlatHead Jacks linkage?

 

Ya and it gets in the way of everything, but it's all good now!

 

what matl is the tubeing

 

It's aluminum hexagonal tubing with .125 wall.

Here is a picture of one of the Y block tripower setups I sold with Flathead Jack's style linkage. Once you have it setup it works very nicely and is the most positive/solid tripower linkage setups I have ever used.

IMHO

 

5/16 304 Stainless .034 wall.

 

lets see pics when you are done.......should look tits

 

The fuel log is all but compete, can't really finish it until when I install the flattie. The silver solder was pretty easy to work with and the result speak for themselves. There is another picture in my gallery.

 

I finally came up with a plan for the oil lines sending unit and a Fuel block I couldn't used with my carb and linkage set-up. All the oil lines are seamless SS 3/8 with .035 wall. The fittings are AN type and the fuel block is machined aluminum from Dicks shop here on the Hamb. The fuel block has 3 outlets along it's length and one at each end. The top outlet is the feed line the center will be the sending unit and the third is blocked off and to top it off a pressure gauge.

 

With the help of couple old timers from the hood, married up a T-19 to the FH with an adapter from M.E.C.
