butyl tape is some amazing stuff. thanks Muddy and Yeller. c

is that tube a urethane based sealant? silicone is awful, and when i replaced the rear windshield in my pickup it called for urethane sealant, works SO much better, and once i learned what it was i'm seeing it's used all over in the "real" world. i found urethane and sand was used for burying...

Merry Christmas! So last year my daughter gave me a 1973 bronco for Christmas. Yes, quite an amazing daughter! But I loved the 1966 model year so I did my best to make it look like a 1966. I painted it Wimbeldon White, made sure the seats were the proper silver color, I did all sorts of...

i was going to say the same as bowsher, but if ground were a high resistance connection, and touching the pedal improved the ground, the lights would get brighter when you touched the clutch pedal. I think the though process is sound though, it appears a change in connection resistance is being...

Those look like the dimples for the brackets that support the spare tire... pictures I've seen show the anti-theft brackets right next to the location where your drains are indicated...? When i got the spare tire and mounting kit i did find dimples there and that's where i mounted the tire...

well dad gum... thanks Oldtimer! c

Hello all, My 66 had the tailgate and grill replaced with later OE parts. They're Wimbledon white, but under the tailgate latch it's green... no matter. When I located some OEM anti-theft latches i went looking for the dimples to indicate where to drill the holes, and at both top corners of my...

Wiperman just wrote back, only ones he has left are for his motors. Brass here we come! c

wow i love math! Sorry for the trouble thanks for the fantastic photos! my wife was looking over my shoulder as i was scrolling through photographs making my drawing and she asked what i was doing so i told her the question i asked and i said about half a dozen experts all chimed in with...

Thank you all very much, i'll be making a few of these shortly. Anthony, the third measurement you made, the .1435 may be off a little because the width of the jaws of your caliper will be on the thicker side of that tapered arm. The thin part of your caliper jaws should have close to a knife...

poifect thank you very much! i had a guy rebuild the trico wiper motor in my stude years back the "piston" was hard as a rock and he apparently bought up all the trico stuff when they went out of business and now repairs and replaces at some pretty good prices. i'll take a gander and see if he...

Okie could you check your calipers? 80 thou wide is slightly more than 1/16"... they look to be probably 1/8-3/16 visually-could it be .180 and .135 and .185 per chance? And that will be good enough for me to make a print once i get my lathe set up i may make a bunch of these. production work...

How slim are the chances you could make some measurements so my son can make me a couple? I've got a lathe and some other machines in my shop but HE just got his journeyman's card so I'd have him do it lol! Interesting in that my pull knobs are brass on my wiper motors, but in justin's photo...

Well it's swell to know i have the right motors then. it appears to be baseball bat shaped. I think I can make a couple of those thank you very much for both photographs!! c

Hello Forum, I've been looking for a photo of a vacuum wiper motor for a 66 that shows what may be missing from my motor. It has the little knob you pull out to turn on the vacuum, but the shaft to which the wiper blades attach, that extends through the back of the motor, has a little hole in...

off the top of my head 3 is correct and 4 armature terminal has nothing on it. at least that's how it is on my 66. i just traced the wiring because i have a slight beat to the lights, they get a little brighter then a little dimmer, then repeat. i have a new regulator which is much better...

i remember rebuilding a dana 44 for my studebaker and the blue i had was too close to the steel color so i used my wife's pink lipstick... worked really well great contrast!

That's a block heater, 3 wire electrical cord comes right out of the bottom, mine had the same, cold colorado truck.
