Re: Cams on Pedals

Thanks Allen but. Clutch aka high/low pedal has cam and slow speed notch inside and are both reproduced for US LHD cars.
It is the reverse and Brake pedal that have cams made in the pedal.
Easy way for brake is to get a Rocky Mountain brake pedal I guess.

NOS Rear Axle Carrier FS

Here are both halves on a rear axle carrier. They are NOS. That means New Old Stock. These came out of a Ford dealer in the 1950’s. Not reproduction, not aftermarket. Real deal. See pictures. $125 + shipping. Email me by forum. Dan IMG_4383.jpeg IMG_4384.jpeg IMG_4385.jpeg IMG_4386.jpeg IMG_4387.jpeg

Looks more like a power hammer for a forge shop.

Re: Magneto woes… turned into clutch disk woes...

Willy needs to look up what happens when something hangs on a model T magnet and wipes out the mag coils! Or when a clutch hangs up or explodes. Lot cheaper now than after that happens. But, you got by lucky on that piece that fell pass the magnets already. If that had been me I’d be replacing magne...

Re: How do I Remove This Gear ?

Why remove it? If axle is bad enough to remove gear, saw the axle off. Leaving a short piece, press it in, remove keepers, press out the other direction. Than install gear on good axle. Sawed off axle becomes a stake for garden, horseshoe pit. Can’t sell to circus, they want ones with gears on them ...

Re: Magneto woes… turned into clutch disk woes...

They all run fine till they don’t.
And they always don’t at the best time.
My Roadster was running the best it ever had right before I broke a crank. Right in front of High Meadow campground in Hershey. First day of the meet.

Re: Magneto woes… turned into clutch disk oes...

Willy: short answer NO.
Those big disc are the reproduction. Maybe they have fixed the problem????? I don’t know.
400 disc need the right hub, you got one?
Far as I know not being made right now.
Do you have the thing apart yet? Do you know what is in it? Is that the real problem?

Re: Magneto woes… turned into clutch disk oes...

When I say bad luck, I installed a couple sets in customer engines. Had a great neutral. Few miles later no neutral. Pulled down, disc were all warped.
Now that was a few years ago, problem May have been fixed.
But once burned, twice something?

Steve: Have you talked to the guys that made the reproduction pan jigs? They may have some extra ones. They made pan jigs that were same as the original ones.

I only know of the two makes of “offset spindles “ Not to be confused with the Ford drop spindles of 26/27 fame. I have only had one pair of real Rajo, they had the name forged into them. However, Rajo ads from back in the day, they showed no such markings. Offset spindles are supposed to make the s...

Re: Magneto woes…

Pull the screen and look at drums.
Also pull the bottom cover and see what took out the dipper.
When you go back, don’t use reproduction clutch disc. Never had any luck with them. Go with 400 disc and original large disc.
If you have to replace brake drum get one with replacement lugs.

Look up magnet recharge in car. No the best but it works, done it many times.
