General Discussion / Re: Wire Wheels from a '31/'32
October 09, 2016, 02:56:56 PM
I have a wire wheel on my car in place of a wood spoke one right now. I obtained a set of hubs for the wire wheels from one location and the wheels from another. To change remove spindle nut on front end and remove the whole wood spoke hub/drum/wheel/ bearing assembly as a unit. Then install the whole wire spoke wheel hub/drum/wheel/bearing assembly as a unit. I had to adjust my brakes a bit on that wheel because of the "new" drum. The drums and bearings are the same. Drums could be used from one to the other but new holes would have to be drilled  You can take the wire wheel off with the five lug nuts once its on but changing the whole works is just the one spindle nut. Same thing on the rear.  Just remove the axle nut. (and get a puller or whacker)  Eventually I want to be able to switch between the two easily. I'm pretty sure the 31 hubs are the same. I'll try to get you some pictures.

Mine is also titled by the engine number however the same number is stamped into my frame rail behind the drivers side front wheel.  Other folks have posted that their cars are titled by engine number as well. Does your frame have this stamping?

General Discussion / Re: Fuel pump pressure

I've had the same issues with every regulator I've used.  Even though they are advertised to be adjustable from 1-6 psi the never get below 2 or 3 psi.  I installed a cheapo round dial type regulator I found at a yard sale in line with the other regulator and it seems to have lessened the overflow leakage.  It shows 1-1.5 psi with a pressure gage.  It's still far from ideal but much better.

It's basically a buy it now for 16.5k the way he has the auction set up with no reserve...........unless more than one person thinks it's worth that much.

front mount of front spring.

Here's some better pics. The "Belleville" washer is actually two of them stacked together. I can't get pics of the fwd spring rear mount or aft spring front mount until I can get my car back outside.  Here's the rear mount of the rear spring.

I'm going to take better pictures tomorrow from the side.  The large washer under the bolt head of the clamp is 3/32 thick and bent, not quite concave. The lock washer under the nut of the clamp is like you say 2mm or around 1/12 of an inch or so. I would guess the bent washer provides some spring clamping and locking action. The washer up front is 1/16" thick.  I'll take a better look at all 4 mounting points.

I may have misread your post and I showed pics of the rear hanger of a rear spring and the front hanger of a front spring.  I can take more if you need but the stack-up of front and rear hangers of either front or rear spring appears to be the same. The only place there seems to be a washer other than the obvious ones on the shackle "squeeze" bolts/nuts is on the inboard side of the front hanger of the front springs.  The top and bottom attachment points of all the shackles appears to be fitted together and then held in place by the "squeeze bolts" for lack of a better term.

and.....

rear
#87
one more front.

Okay I'll post the front pics then the rear.  These are of two different 29U's I have here and you can see some subtle differences in the shackles.  The ones that appear more rounded over are from a definitely all stock 29U coupe.  The others are from a 29U coupe as well. All grease fittings point outboard.

I will try to post some pics later today of what mine looks like.
