When watching one episode, we did spot a parked speedster when the Duttons were walking down the street when leaving the hotel prior to the scene where they get ambushed by the sheep herders.

Dan McEachern

I agree with what Kevin said. Just a few comments- Thats a pretty small bearing to use for a wheel hub but it is what it is. Also, its a good idea to bolt thru the bearing flange between the wheel studs into the wheel hub to lock the bearing flange to the wheel hub. Relying on the wheel studs to do ...

For what its worth, we have the better part of a TT Universal Transmission available if you need one. Or if anyone else needs one. The gears are pretty nice. There seems to be a small eccentric operated brake drum in this trans- anyone know what thats all about?

Dan McEachern

Clamp the halfs together and mic the od 90 degrees to the parting line. If they don't measure near 1.375 they will be loose in the block and let the cam move around. Very few used shell pairs are not worn out.

Dan McEachern

Hey- I'm glad the axle is going to complete Johnny's project, but we really need to see a picture of the Mercury!!

Dan McEachern

The bonded linings referred to above used the same friction material as modern automatic transmissions. My recollection was the chattering may well have been due to running them on trans drums with worn bushings. It was a common problem back then, but the biggest issue was that they did not play wel...

HI Harry- tach drives normally run cam speed, not crankshaft speed.

Pretty sure this mag is for use with the seldom seen chain drive Bosch bracket that mounts on the front left side of the engine.

Frank- have you talked to Steve Chase? HIs dad has set up multiple T tours in Europe aver the years. I'm sure you know this - just throwing it out there.

This is a really good deal. Pharis Metals can assist with lacing and or truing the wheels.

Regardless of the material, the friction disks MUST have at least one large disk at both ends of the stack to prevent the friction disks from rubbing on the push ring or the brake drum surface.

Actually, I think you will find that the cast housing material is malleable iron, not cast iron- its not the same thing. The outer castings are made from the same material.

Key words and advice for anyone using Kevlar:

I always enjoy looking at the parts and pieces of the letter cars, and compare them to the later T parts and pieces. The similarities are sometimes very obvious and you can certainly see that the design style did not change that much when the T was created. Thanks Rob for sharing!

Dan McEachern

Looks like the cam was retarded one tooth. This probably had a huge effect on how it ran, and not in a good way.

If you screw a tap into the bushing, just use a long punch or a rod against the end of the tap and knock the bushing out from the opposite direction.
Same for spindle bushings.

About 350-400 RPM is a good speed to shoot for. Your 36 TPI is way too coarse for a finish cut- thats about .027"/revolution and you need something in the range of .002/.003"/rev for an acceptable finish. Dan's suggestion to find a Tobin-Arp drive unit is a good one. I may have an extra one laying a...

My daughter attended the University of Arizona, and the mall on the campus has a full size outline of the hull of the USS Arizona imbedded in the lawn.
It is a very humbling experience to stand there on the mall and read all the plaques for the sailors that died that day.

Dan McEachern

You must use a 26-27 hogshead in order to run a wide brake band- the band lug spacing won't allow an early hogshead with a wide drum trans and wide band. Non- 26-27 hogs heads must use a narrow brake band, regardless of the brake drum width.

No- it will interchange with any 3 dip pan with no issues. Just don't let Larry Smith see it! Paint it black so it does not show.................

To clarify what Chad wrote above- this is a problem only when the axle is used with a suicide front end arrangement - when the front spring mount is moved upward to create the drop- this method drops the centerline of the crankshaft to where it intersects a stock height front axle, which causes the ...

Dan McEachern

Mark- unless your installing a dry clutch/pressure plate, remember that the crankshaft thrust is toward the rear when the T trans is in neutral.

Dan McEachern

What is Glen going to do with all that extra room?

Dan McEachern

And the SR is mounted backwards.

Dan McEachern

My guess is a triple gear bushing that is seizing up.

Dan McEachern

Crank should be centered on the center main saddle. If you do this, the rear main saddle will be centered on the crank thrust surfaces. The rear block saddle should not contact the crankshaft thrust surfaces if the crank is positioned properly.

Dan McEachern

Richard- I'll take it. let me know how to pay you. Dan

Dan McEachern

I have the gear sets available for these and the LA distributors if anyone needs them.

Scott- the Ford rear hubs are steel, not CI. The front hubs are malleable iron. This is a classic fatigue failure that is due to repeated bending cycles. Ford must have recognized this failure mode was possible given the generous radius in the corner of the flange which prevents a stress riser that ...

Dan McEachern

Just to add to Ed's explianation above. If you think about the forces on the flange, the outer wheel plate, when securely bolted to the face of the wood spokes, effectively carries a radial load against the wheel hub, preventing the hub flange from reversed bending in a turn. If the outer plate can ...

They all need to weigh the same. Best to check big end and total weight to see how much variation you have. How did it run? Probably a lot of vibration at speed, unless by some miracle they all weigh out the same. Was there any evidence of any balancing on any of the engine parts? Could be its just ...

Looks like the points might be under the rear cover and on the input shaft? How would that work with the points turning crank speed? A four lobe cam would need to run cam speed. Just wondering.

One suggestion on your chain- one wrap of the chain will limit your rotation to less than 360 degrees. You might consider two wraps of chain that will allow you to go all the way around with no restrictions.
