I agree with you Kevin, just a good exchange of ideas. The one I posted works more like a Stark design, low pressure circulatory from normally a reservoir.

Hank

Mario you will do just fine!!!!

Hank

John that carb will work excellent on your build!!!!

Hank

Les like minds gather together and get into trouble together too!

LOL

Hank

Here''s the belt drive system with a water pump. Dad got a little creative so to say, two in one.

All the Best,

Hank

Very Nice Les!!!!

Hank

And I built my bride a 14' x 28' craft room in the house.., kept her quiet for awhile!!!! Laughing at myself big time!!!!

Hank

PS, Please pass me another piece of that humble pie!

I will dig one out of my barn stash for you and take photos. Dad made one years back that was belt driven from a small marine brass water pump, worked excellent! He made a by pass switch you depressed on initial start up until oil pressure was achieved, if you loss oil pressure due to a broken belt,...

Have you tried some of the international suppliers? There are some good ones in the UK. Will talk with our youngest over Christmas (Lives there of course) and get you a list. They do ship to the USA at reasonable rates, cheaper than ours.

All the Best,

Hank

You can google red cloth hose sheathing and find all sizes to cover what you have.

Just saying,

Hank

AL,

I APPLAUD YOU!!!! That is what we need more of!

All the Very Best,

Hank in Tin-A-See

PS, I am going back to school for spelling. Just can't get Tin-A-See write!

Janet they make a lot of them now that are "Fire Safe" using 9 volt LED batteries etc, you can go really stupid!

Merry Christmas,

Hank

Just Perfect Harold!

Ditto Erik!

Hank

Tim, Trust Me, It hurts big time! My bride and I never had children, just our other babies, the Dogs! We have lost 4 all together over the years and they all have a hand cut tombstone by me at the barn! Our yellow lab could tell the difference between a poisonous and non poisonous snake. Saved my li...

Thanks Don and Dan, I was wondering myself!

Hank

Kim,

Is your new name, "Yell'r Dawg"?

Love You to Man!

Hank

Will have to take some better photos later but you get the general idea. I have about 25 of these alternators (Mitsubishi, Hitachi, ND) very small. They even fit under the hood of a brass era car. Image 12-17-19 at 2.49 PM (2).jpeg Image 12-17-19 at 2.49 PM.jpeg Image 12-17-19 at 2.49 PM (1).jpeg

I am sharing this info with all of you, so please print and save for your records. We did not invent the use of the Datsun B 210 oil pump, just added a lot of improvements as we progressed. My Dad and I some years back had to purchase all the North American stock of the pumps to secure it's future p...

Scott it appears he is up grading. That part he gave is a stroker cross drilled. I thought the same thing until I looked up the part number. Like minds think the same! Thanks Brother and Merry Christmas in Wyoming!

Hank

Kurt,

He is a Legend! His work and accuracy is just amazing to say the least!

Hank

You can even recycle "Space Junk" in Tin-A-See!

Nothin is immune in dim dar hills boys and girls!

Hank

Absolutely Nothing! My bride slipped on black ice at the back steps, ass over tea kettle, bruised, broke her left wrist in two places. Double Duty for me! What is good for dish pan hands folks, any recommendations?

Hank

And the A crank main caps.

You will be required on that crankshaft to dimple your oil pan, extend your inspection cover, and a few other minor modifications.

This is an overhead but gives you the idea. I do have the mounts for flat heads as well.

All the Best,

Hank

Michel, Here is what will produce the best results but you will need to relocate your generator or install an alternator on a pulley system. If you require one, please contact me though my email provided. Hope this Helps! IMG_0448.jpeg IMG_0450.jpeg IMG_0447.jpeg IMG_0449.jpeg IMG_2441.jpeg Hank

Nice, Thanks for sharing Donne!

Hank

Thanks Mike! The cool thing about this body, I will be making the the main sections from old body panels, meaning hoods, roof, and old fender sections cut out from other wise junk. Rotted edges are removed then matching profiles with minor adjustments. This is the way they did a lot of them after WW...

Sale Pending, Thanks MTFCA!

Here is something for you bored out of your gourd folks! Long winters etc. The key to any custom body is having your components in place, ergonomic in design, and nice lines. Building from a buck with a spine (that's the center board) and branching out with ribs to follow is enjoyable to me and real...

Allan playing with pixies this time of year, will set you up on a naughty list!

Hank

Looks very nice Mark!

Some of those that get offended forgot the meaning of the holiday!

A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

From the Lee’s of Tin-A-See

Mike sent you an email

If you use a big enough cam such as a 280 or 290 a Holley 1904/1908 series works well from a Ford 170/200 CI 6 cylinder.

Hope this Helps,

Hank

The best thing for clean upholstery is warm water and dish soap. It may take a few cycles of cleaning and drying but usually works well. Hash cleaners can make the material delaminate.

Hope this Helps,

Hank

SOOOO COOOL!

I Put a secondary dipper on the back of the rear horse shoe for extra!

After all of that, welding in the dams and shaping a little as I go. IMG_2663.jpeg IMG_2665.jpeg Welding done, back to the blast cabinet, scratch wheeling, and stoning the welds. A nice coat of Gyptal Paint and done. I screwed up and thought Jeff said 3 dip pan the first conversation, oh well he has...

I jump in head first and talk to our favorite guy, Jeff. I like picking and choose my projects so this was no different. This should cure his issues since every time he goes up his steep hill it appears to be a game of chance on #1 connecting rod and others. 16 gauge steel is 1/16" so this is a good...

Mack your love seat design of course would require extra support and the likes of. They are more comfortable in a speedster in my opinion since in todays times people are of a larger frame so to say. Here are you some ideas. I do like making or installing adjustable seat tracks as your never know wh...

Very Nice Bruce!

Mack, Good upholstery is like good painting, you get what you pay for. Your seat design on those are really just an over set meaning other than a lower cushion, they were meant to be snapped on around the back edge. Simple in design. A fair price on those is around $600.00 with foam, etc. All the Be...

I use a high dollar machine called a Proformer. Not only does it stretch but it will shrink the metal down making very tight radiuses. Not an issue.

Hank

Scott brought up a good point, if the rod is starving, that poor cam is starving lube too.

Hank

Yes Jeff, I think you need what Scott recommended. I live on a mountain road too but probably not as steep as yours. If you need metal formed on my machines, give me a shout. That rear one could be formed as a one piece pinch style.

All the Best,

Hank

Amen Allan!

Bud the only thing about extending that crank if it bites you, it is going to do more damage to you. You might want to give her a good service (Clean or new plugs gap set, check valve clearances, timing rod adjustment, clean the carburetor main jet, coils set, etc.) or have a younger person with pro...

Danny since there are more than one manufacture, I start out with the size below a 1/4" for the small ones or try and remove any paint or powder coat build up slowly with a bit that just fits the hole. The oiler should just begin to start by a 1/32"-1/16".

Hope this Helps,

Hank

$500.00 free shipping!

I have a good one, $150.00 plus shipping. Email me if interested, will send pics to your email only.

Hank

Allan had similar issue years back. It was a very slightly warped brake drum striking the backing plate. Drove me nuts. Swapped the wheel assemblies around from left to right, problem fixed.

Hope this Helps,

Hank from down yonder

Very Nice work Ron!

Hank

Looks Good to me Mario!

Hank

Stan,

I have lived in Montana and know the winters are long, but, piddly work is good! You know you can go crazy doing that too much! LOL

Nice Work, patience of the Craftsman!

Hank

Well put folks on the over milling, Seen way to many destroyed to over the years.

Hank

After machining the new bearings, reset thrust, assembly went better than a text book. Operation check and load test..., PERFECT! IMG_2637.jpeg IMG_2638.jpeg IMG_2639.jpeg Will wait for my graphic artist to return from vacation and he is making me a new tag. Hope this can assist some of you in your ...

After all the final machine work and insulating, a quick pre-fit went well. It is a little tight as far as clearances/access but will work. This application requires a CW rotation as viewed from the rear of the case, no problem, North and South reversal by means of changing attachment of the feed po...

Some added repairs. This Epoxy is for panel attachment in modern vehicles but man is it strong. I have fused items together that there really was not any other way. The lower mount had a bunch of micro fractures and she was welded before. I noticed little voids here and there so to support it, forme...

Bill,

Here are some modern paint codes which I found for mine years back.

Hope this Helps,

Hank

Bill I have a modern paint number in DuPont, PPG, and Nason. Will post when I get home.

Hank

Herb it appears this Model was the refine version of previous models. Unique mechanisms. There was an optional attachment that went on the crank pulley for a generator. Neat how things progressed.

Hank

Good catch Dan, I was wonder that myself.

Hank

So after some measuring and calculating, why can I not adapt a Model T Ford guts to fit? Let the machining begin....., IMG_2612.jpeg IMG_2613.jpeg IMG_2614.jpeg IMG_2617.jpeg Well, after some cleaning up and making the case true, (This thing was made from cast steel not iron. And anyone out there th...

I took this project on as the Gentleman was at an end. No one could do it, odd armature, twisted, etc. I like a challenge anyway, keeps your brain from becoming mush. These are rare ducks in my opinion as I have seen ones similar but this one is a Cadillac. I am posting this to maybe help another. I...

Pete,

A lot of times it is easier to make your own from YB Ford blocks or early Chevy 216 with a removable ball cup. You then can get drill rod material and cut to fit to your own required length.

Hope this Helps,

Hank

I have the set, the only problem is the rest of the car with a Super V radiator goes with it for $30,000.00 firm.

Hank

Wait and see Dave Carnahan’s Baby if you like that one!

We’re also used in the marine industry all the way up into the early 1960’s. The parts did not change much at all if any.

Hope this Helps

Happy for you Dave!

With all our thoughts and prayers to the Family!

Hank and Family

Maybe I am showing my A$$, but...,as my Father told me, "The only limitations a man puts on himself, Is his ability to imagine, his ability to learn, and his ability to discipline time". I have followed the ole mans advice.

All the Best to ALL!

Humble Hank

And the top does not have a crack in it, WOW!

Sold to Don, thanks MTFCA!

Dave you might have to drill and tap to 1/4” x 20 thread wells 180 degrees out from each other, install grade 8 bolts with a bar and use your slide hammer that way.

Hope this Helps,

Hank
