Re: Grease cup: OK to shorten the post?

I've also seen the ball cap turned (grease cup) down so as to be accessible from under the car rather than removing floorboards, shifters, cut-out pedal linkages, etc. So was just the ball cap down, or was the whole driveshaft tube upside down, so that the hole aligned? I've found that I installed ...

Re: Steering Stabilizers

I’m just finishing rebuilding the front end on the Basket Case, and I’ve learned a ton here and elsewhere on the forum. A couple questions remain. First, is there a minimum gauge wire used to safety wire the nuts on the wishbone? I’m going on the International tour and don’t want to have any inspect...

‘24 Roadster steering column bolts

I did not notice during disassembly that the carriage bolts holding the steering column flange to the firewall have two different size heads. They all seem to fit everywhere. Anyone know how these should go, and if it matters?

24 Roadster front spring lengths

I am rebuilding “the ends” of The Basket Case, found that front end has been, hmm, “customized”! Wondering What is the proper length of each of the individual leaf springs? I believe 7 is the correct number, looking for length/configuration, how many leafs within clips?
