Re: Axles too long?

Hub caps will not clear the axles -to long. The rear end was disassembled to install inner seals but axles were what came out of it. I believe I have enough room to cut 1/4 inch off nut and axle and then re-drill a hole for cotter pin.

Re: Model A engine rebuilders

I would recommend antique engine rebuilders in Skokie Illinois. Several of my club members have used them. They do a complete short block for 2300. No tax and shipping is a standard 100.00 each way. They have very good reviews and a good warranty on the rebuild. You basically get a modern engine bac...

Re: 28/29 brake hub

Took drum to my machinist and I believe it is to thin to turn. Heavily pitted and would need to turn down to .130 to clean up. Also he estimated 2-4 hours machining time with setup - 120.00 to 240.00 dollars. I told him I would look for better hub.

Re: Warford

I bought the last one on EBay after auction ended. I contacted the guy and offered 600.00 and he accepted it. Came with shift handle and near perfect gears.
