Tim,
Probably in my haste like a kid at Christmas I may have thrown out my column mount. Can I purchase a spare?

dmdeaton

I know this is an old post but where did you source the bonded linings?

dmdeaton

I am wondering whether your meter may be misleading you somewhat. The voltage it applies and the current flowing will be very small. I wonder if it's more meaningful to compare the current supplying a bulb directly and via the switch. I suggest a 12v stop or turn lamp bulb. That should take about 1...

Ron Miller of miller’s machine shop in shandon Ohio is in the hospital this week with COVID. He has been up and down and we are praying for him. He helped me get into this hobby a few years ago and is a good friend. I am sure a bunch of you know him.

Pics above in the thread show the finished product with all belts in place. It was using his homemade shelf, but belt placement is about the same

Makes me want a set of these

dmdeaton

I agree with Steve on this one. I buy a lot of parts on this site. I think the seller deserves to be contacted the way the seller asks to be contacted. Some like email, some like a phone call, some like a pm, and in my area of the country a hand shake and eye contact are everything. Its a sign of r...

I agree, a big tease

dmdeaton

Again, scammers will not pm you
I still don’t get why anyone is having pm issues. Pm is like texting on your phone. Emails sometimes go into the junk box depending on how your spam filters are setup. That’s where you really lose communication

dmdeaton

I don't see radiator support rods in the 2 pics. Yellowracer, hard to tell from your pic. Have you modified your rods for clearance to remove the valve cover? Or remove the rod to pull the cover?

PM's work, keep your pm account clean and erase old PM's. Works the same as a email account when it gets full. There is no rule on here to respond by email only. This is the sellers choice. I have never had a PM not go through and I email to the persons that wish that type of response. Tell me why y...

Eric, I’m with you on your thinking, I would like to get a few more miles per charge than what I am reading in specs for this stuff. 50-60 miles won’t get it. I don’t want to drive 400 miles but don’t like the idea of running out of juice. I have a electric outboard with lithium and solar panel on m...

dmdeaton

Don’t know why you couldn’t do it. You would have to machine a plate with a seal and bearing to mate with the hogshead, then modify the pan accordingly to seal to the new plate. Ball bearing 4th main and a new input shaft that the flywheel will bolt up to. Just to spin the oil. Or do away with the f...

Does anyone have a link for the above picture? Or a link for more information on it? I am liking this a lot

Better times ahead!!

Hit the runs with a little sandpaper on a block if they bother you and hit it with your second coat. Like said above, viscosity or how thin it is means everything. You can get by without expensive brushes, although they help a lot. You will be surprised how good your second coat will look. Temperatu...

I’m outside of Cincinnati but can ship anywhere. At the local museum hangout a fellow is big time into prewar fire trucks. He passed a phone number to me of a fellow he uses. I’m in no hurry, I have 2 builds I need to get finished before adding anything else.

I think people can see through the mask, I can. Here in Ohio we still speak to one another in passing even with masks. Still hold the door for others and get a big thanks. Everyone is tired of this,but still show compassion for each other. At least most. Don’t give up and have a merry Christmas.

Who is the fellow that rebuilds these?

dmdeaton

And if belt driven off the camshaft will need to be counterclockwise

dmdeaton

Clockwise from the drive end, correct?

If the crankshaft turns clockwise looking at the front then the camshaft turns opposite which would drive the mag anti clockwise. Referring to Tim’s new mag plate and belt driving it. Correct, maybe??

dmdeaton

Get well Kevin
We are mounting your head on my engine now.

dmdeaton

I assume you guys using the same process for the spindle bushings? I had the thrust cutter the vendors sell and again it is junk. I guess I will look for a piloted counterbore in the right size. Unless I get a better idea from you all.

dmdeaton

Rubber stem tubes and Universal 21's for me. Oh yea, and a spare.

dmdeaton

Glad its in the forum loop, we need pics when its running!

So did you buy it? It is very cool

dmdeaton

Ok then, we drive um like we stole them.

I just got a new radiator from them this summer. They custom made a 32 for my 30 fordor banger hotrod. I put a 32 grill shell on it. Now it runs 15 degrees cooler. Bummer.

Got my small tanks filled so I can rivet Saturday

dmdeaton

I had the same problem today with the rivet bending over. I called the rivet man and he told me to not use the domed air chisel until last. Heat red hot then wail with a good hammer like driving a nail. This will squeeze the rivet out and tighten it up. Heat up again. Then use the dome only to dress...

So 26 was the year of the wires from what I read. I saw pics of a recent red 26 roadster pickup that sold in the sale threads with wood spokes. What is needed to put a set of these together for a 26/27? Large drums for rear I assume.

dmdeaton

Mark,
I sent you a pm with my email. The cad files will help for sure, I can plot and cut some cardboard templates for mockup.
Thank you for this and all who posted. Great stuff.

I have no problem putting the glass in the frames myself. My problem is I don't have original glass to use as patterns. I have new repop frames and all the parts needed to assemble. Just no glass. I guess I could lay the frames out and see if it looks like I can trace it out. Without original glass ...

dmdeaton

So I just came home from Snyder’s with a new upper and lower windshield frame. Everyone says take it to a local glass shop for new glass. Are there patterns around to make sure they don’t screw it up? What thickness do we use?
26/27 roadster is the flavor
Thanks in advance

Uh-oh rivet jack is too big for the front.

I just sized mine up also and will snag a couple threaded couplings so I can cut them down. I assume you are doing the same? Did you cut the rivet length?

That looks great
Good job
