Re: aughhh...nuts
Jeff you are right the ones I got from you are regular hex nuts, the reproduction sets have square nuts. Will stick with the regular hex nuts as I recently talked with someone @ Ziegler after trying to order based on their web site info as square nuts available in 9/16-18 but are no longer available...

Getting the front and rear bumpers back on the Fordor, thanks Jeff Humble. I wanted to find the 9/16-18 square nuts that hold the outer bumper clamps to the backing plates and found them item #56NSQ8/fine @ Ziegler bolt in Canton Ohio.

It's rewarding to know this little tip help someone else. I had sprayed the socket housings the day prior with the PB blaster, as you can see mine were pretty rusty.

Thanks for posting those pictures Dennis, looking @ some T parts this week and several rear axles to harvest.
What is your dimension from the floor to the center of that differential housing and is the plate you used 1/4" like the engine stand adapter?

The difference between "Knowledge" and "Wisdom". "Knowledge" is having facts, information, and skills acquired through experience or education. "Wisdom" is having the "knowledge" to not make the same mistake again. Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit....Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

Ron have several contacts that I can get your needs and info out to help keep these T's going, the cancellation of the swaps and shows has hurt every one. When swap/show time returns I think you will have plenty of coils to rebuild there.

Ordered these auto dolly's from Merrick, makes it easy moving the T around the garage. I could have gone with the cheapo's from other sources but these are heavy duty and made in the U.S.A. It's also nice to get something with free shipping.
