Re: 1926 Roadster Trunk Lock

Thanks everyone. I dont have a rear tire mount the car so nothing to pull on. I am thinking now I might have to go up through the battery opening and push with something - similar to pulling on the tire mount? This one has me puzzled.

Question for our paint experts

I know the paint code for 1927 gunmetal blue for PPG is IM436 and Dupont is DS151. I am having trouble with my paint store as they dont have a formula for PPG (DBC, OMNI or OMNI PLUS) to be able to mix it. Does anyone have information on these formulas?

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

Re: Tape for wrapping mag coils?

Steve,

I did one just for the experience and it was a good experience. I may have tape left (3M Glass Cloth tape) for the coil wrapping and Kapton tape used to insulate between the wires. I will will give it to you if I still have it. Will check on that tonight.

1927 Fordor window regulators

Seems that most of the 26/27 window regulators I have seen are for Coupes/Tudors and are the three bolt mounting type. My 27 Fordor is a four bolt mount type. Does anyone know if this four bolt type carried over to the Model A? Having a rough time finding the correct regulators.

Hank, I was able to get neutral but how good of a neutral it is changes every time I take it for a drive. Seems to be a moving target..... I do need to cut a little bit more floor board out but the handbrake is nearly all the way forward. The ramp is definitely not touching the adjustment bolt.
