I got some clips from Chevs of the 40"s. I used them to replace some missing original clips and they worked fine. Go to wheels, then hub caps. I used small bolt and lock nut, but could probably weld also. e

Put a dab of silicone on the rivets.

I just bought a new core off e bay from seller aimsautoparts. It is a Spectra brand. I looked on e bay for the orientation of the of the inlet and outlet tubes. I found one with straight out tubes that had no bends and looked like I could make work. I then went on Spectra web sight and put in part number. It gave me dimesions for core, but not including tanks. I sent email to spectra asking for dimensions including tanks. They answered in matter of minutes. I got the core in couple of days and made a couple of small spacers to compensate for being a little short and narrow and it fit fine. Haven,t put in car yet, but see no reason won,t work. It was a bit of a PITA, but seems like nothing is easy anymore. Cost $36.07 incl. tax and free shipping. Good luck

Check Langdon Stovebolt. I got my dual intake, carbs. and a T5 mustang transmission from him. Worked great. Just sold the motor and trans so I can replace with 360 and A518. I've got a '52 Wayfare sedan also. The 6 ran great. It just didn't have the power I wanted.

I am computer illiterate, but if you check me out on the member list and scroll to June 28, 2014 I had my grandson post some pictures of my '52 Wayfarer. I made the grill from 6 sets of VW bumper guards. Had to cut all but the center one, but was no big deal. Bob

Try patchboy.com. #17-501-OV. Brass oval stem, 1 1/2 in. for .625 hole. I have these in my '52 Dodge stock rims. Running Diamondback 215/15 radials for 5 or 6 years, and no problems. Bob

I do same as Dodgeb4ya on my 52 dodge stock rims.. I use the oval valve stems and have no problem with leaks.Make sure bead on rim is clean. Bob

I have a '52 dodge and the track has four 5/16th and two 5/8th balls in each track. I found them at Norfolk bearing, so I would think pretty muc h any bearing shop should have them. Not sure if # and sizes are same for '47 Plymouth. Bob

Are you keeping the stock brake pedal or are you going to swing pedal? I'm getting ready to do a 360/ A518 swap in my "52 Wayfarer and I think I will keep the stock brake pedal. Will follow your post. Thanks Bob

I got oval stems for my 52 Dodge from Patchboy, but I don't see them now. I did find some at Tire Supply Network, part #H-501OV. May want to call them and confirm they will fit. Their phone is 1-855-550-2626. Good luck Bob

First read Gregs post about doing anything above my neck, I thought "I'm the same way". Then I realized he was talking about the height of what he was working on and not remembering why he was doing it.

look at patchboy.com. check brass truck stems. I used the plastic beads for balancing with WWW radials and have same experience as Joe Lee.

I second the 9' wide doors, minimum. I put 8' in mine, and regret it every time I use them.

I have a '52 Dodge Wayfarer and I went to Lowes and got an 8 ft. piece of vinyl screen tight used to trim 4x4 porch posts.. I got the 3.5 in.wide section. You get base piece and snap on top piece. I trimmed it to fit and works fine. Doesn't look close to original, but covers rough rocker and looks somewhat finished. Cost about $12, so not a disaster if you don't like it. Bob

Radio news going to work this morning warned not to eat your turkey if it was spoiled, or if came out of a trash can or dumpster. Point of announcer reading it was exactly as PA pointed out.

fourth picture looks like a crude side post battery cable clamp.

Had a good friend who drove an old beater Ford truck to work every day. He tack welded a box end wrench and a pair of vice grips to the top edge of the bed right behind the driver door and then waved back at everybody that honked, waved and pointed toe to tools.

See he busted a knuckle.....builds character and the vocabulary.

Oval valve stems available on Amazon for $18.00 for 5. Made by Milton Industries.

One tip I didn't mention is to clean off any of the blue protective coating on the bead of the tire before mounting. I did not and it bled out after the first 3 or 4 washing and in the rain. It goes away, but was a little messy for a bit. Bob

I had Coker www bias ply on my 52 Dodge on original rims. No tubes and no leaks. But they wore out quick, I have Diamondback radials on the same rims with no tubes and no leaks at all. Very happy with the Diamondbacks.

I used the ECI dual pot master cylinder, part # EC444. Works great .

I made a mistake in telling u I had disc conversion from Fat Man. It was Ply Do back in May, 2007. Ply Do is not in business any longer. I do have their instructions which may be of help to You. I apologize for the error.Scan0012.pdf
