Re: lugnuts wanted

In April 1929 Ford recalled and upgraded the spindle body on existing AA's to an AA part.(Kingpin remained the same). At that time 15/16" lug nuts were changed to 1 1/8" acorn style. I assume Ford scrapped the recalled earlier style which makes them rare. Any existing examples of the earli...

Re: Newmarket, NH fire truck

Re: Newmarket, NH fire truck

Fans are cheap compared to buying a new radiator or hood or both. Probably TAMS model A in Massachusetts is your nearest vendor and nice to deal with. The thrill of a broken off blade flying around under the hood is something you don't want to experience as I have denting the hood in two places lopp...

Re: Always wondering about my AA

In the photo the clip that keeps the spring leaves in place needs to be moved up to the squared off leaf with the hole in it. The clip fits in that hole.
