    Hairpin radius rods - Youngster's Plans

    In Ron Young's Plans, his parts list include 1 set of 36" radius rods and 1 set of 27" radius rods, which I purchased from Speedway. He starts out with the 36" hairpin setup for the front axle, and I'm assuming the 27 inchers are for the rear. If the 27s are workable, great for me, but they...

    Model A rear 10-leaf spring

    Thanks, some good info in that thread, and quite a range of options.

    Model A rear 10-leaf spring

    This is a question to anyone using a 10-leaf Model A rear spring. Did you remove any leaves and which ones did you remove? Seems that all 10 will result in a super stiff ride.

    Has anyone built Youngster's frame width of 23"?

    Has anyone built Youngster's frame width of 23"?

    Not that it was too high. My concern was that it doesn't fit between the frame rails (20" inside width) making the mounting of it a little trickier.

    Has anyone built Youngster's frame width of 23"?

    Spanky, that idea is worth considering which partially takes care of the next issue on mounting the radiator.

    Has anyone built Youngster's frame width of 23"?

    Excuse the 2x4s as the frame...setup is dimensionally correct. Same frame as in my avatar is stored in another shop while I cleanout my garage. Craig

    Has anyone built Youngster's frame width of 23"?

    Your idea makes sense for sure, but I certainly dont have the skill to do that. One thought just crossed my mind. If I cut off the bottom mounting tabs and run a bracket along the inside of the frame and up approx 3" along the inside of the shell, that might provide enough stability.

    Has anyone built Youngster's frame width of 23"?

    Another can of worms opened with the 20" inside width. I was able to score a steel Model T rad shell from Youngster before he passed. Problem is the width of the rad shell is 20 1/4" plus the lower mounting wings totals 23 1/4". I suppose one option would be a '28-'29 Model A rad shell from...

    Painting drums, backing plates, hubs, spindles

    Thanks for the info Spanky, and for including the photo.

    Painting drums, backing plates, hubs, spindles

    I'm going with '56 F-100 drum brakes on early Ford spindles using Speedway's conversion kit. I've previously blasted the backing plates and primed both the plates and new drums. Should I have just sprayed those with an engine or other heat resistant paint instead of priming? The same with the...

    Radius rod hanger position

    Thanks everyone for your input, I dont have to go backward. And I sure like those safety washers.

    Radius rod hanger position

    You were correct in the assessment of my question. From your answer, I'll leave them as is unless someone else sees anything that can possibly go wrong, which leads me to think about doing the same thing for the rear frame hangers which I have yet to install.

    Radius rod hanger position

    The front axle RR hangers are 36" apart while the frame is 26" or in my case 23" wide so the radius rods taper from the front axle to the frame. That's the angle that my frame RR hangers are sitting.

    Radius rod hanger position

    I have welded my front radius rod hangers parallel with the radius rods and not parallel with the frame. Not sure if this is going to be a problem. Ron never did give me a answer to that one.
