Re: CL-1950's English ford motor w/transmission - $175 (OR)

I hope it finds a good home.

Here is a tranny on the east coast... although it sounds a bit high to me:

Re: 1/4-26 un? why?

peteleo,
it turns out I have short and long. I think either will work. the long one bottoms out on the coil hole and the plug holes at the same time. With about 3 threads left over...this is the difference in length too. So adding the wire and the washer it looks like short one will work as well ...

Re: 1/4-26 un? why?

thanks Jan... but maybe I got the words a little mixed up?
Which part are you referring is made out of steel? Is nut even the correct word? they dont have internal threads...lol.
I was referring to the "nuts" could be made out of a plastic like material (maybe like bakelite). These nuts have an odd ...

Re: 1/4-26 un? why?

thanks Jan, I remember a special thread on the top screw (I think) on the headlight bezel too. And maybe the tail light lense?

I thought I would show what I am working on. I am not sure why I want to see this motor run again, as I have no plans for it. I guess it is just the challenge (or fondness ...

Re: 1/4-26 un? why?

I just googled it and according to wiki, it is a British Standard Brass thread. I wont explain it here, you can go to wiki to read it, but apparently they used 26 TPI for 1/8" to 2" brass diameters.

1/4-26 un? why?

I took the starter apart to freshen it up... prior to cranking/starting a 100E engine that has been sitting 3 decades. The brass stud had some burn/melted marks on it, (from jumper cables)...making it hard to get its brass nut off. So I mic'd the dia (1/4") and I could tell it was a fine thread ...

Re: tariffs

I procrastinated and did not get my order in quick enough. They said they could not process it in time and it was cancelled.
It was just spares, thankfully nothing holding up a project!

tariffs

I just got notice from Small Ford Spares that tariffs go into effect on Aug 29 for U.S. Based customers.
Not trying to start a political discussion, just want to let everyone know in case you did not get the notice from SFS. I assume the same is true with other suppliers like Burton Power. So think ...

Re: strut insert installation

Thanks Jan. As I somewhat expected, the shop's alignment machine did not include the Anglia in its list of vehicles. So the technician had to manually input the values you provided. In the end, Caster and Camber came within the specs and toe-in needed just a little tweaking.
All is good again.

Re: strut insert installation

Can anyone confirm the factory front suspension alignment specs of the 100E? (or in my case 300E)
- toe in
- caster
- camber

I would hope the local alignment guy has that information supplied with his alignment machine, but I want to confirm what he uses.
I realise there is not much you can do on ...
