General Discussion / Fabric/rubberized U-Joint Discs
September 27, 2011, 12:51:17 PM
Does anyone know a supplier for these?  I want to replace these on my '29 and I found a company online who specializes in these...however, they are $43 EACH.

Here is the link:

General Discussion / Inner Tubes and Valve Stems
September 27, 2011, 12:45:44 PM
I've dropped off my rims to be refinished and I'm about to order my new tires, tubes and flaps.  My question is, what type of valve stem - rubber, nickel or brass?  The salesman at Universal Tire told me that all wood wheels should be using the brass stem.  A salesman at Coker told me nickel...I don't think they really know.

Does anyone on the board know?  Is the brass (or nickel) stem stronger and or different in appearance?  Does it really matter?  Of course, the rubber is cheaper and is what was on the car...

Good Afternoon:

Having trouble pulling off the rear wheels/drums off the '29...any thoughts on how to do this without any damage?  I've had to do this once before a few years ago but don't recall having this much trouble.

Thanks...

Greetings All:

New to this particular forum, but have posted on others.  Looking for feedback on what my plans are for putting on new tires and painting the rims.  I will attach a photo of my car with it's current configutation.  Tire size is 4.75/5.00x20 on wood spoke wheels.

1.  Decided to go with black wall tires this time because I think they are more original and authentic.  Looking at Lester, BF Goodrich and maybe even Firestone (a Model "A" tire?).

2.  I believe I have decided to go with black rims as opposed to cadmium colored.  I have seen it done both ways (both ways with a black wall tire).  There is a photo I have (you may have seen it) with a '29 Roadster coming off the assembly line with this combination, although you can see that the spokes are painted and can bairly see the pin striping on the spokes.

Any thoughts, ideas, constructive criticism?

Thanks!

Ted
