[Hi Guy`s Ive purchased some aftermarket steel wheels for my 35 Ford pk up. I am using 46 Ford hub caps but they will not fit. Could anyone tell me were I can purchased the weld on adapters. I have used these before but cant find the address were I purchased them from. The knubs are on the inside of the wheel & measure 10&1/8". You take the ring off the hub cap & spot weld the new ring on & then the caps fit OK. Thanks for reading I hope someone can help......Cheer`s Bri]

Hey   Guy`s   you should be a Rodder in England, the price of gas is £4.50.. gall =$7.00 & we still build them with the good old American V8. Ive built 4 classic Hot Rods over the past 45yrs & when I start building I think I will build for economy I soon change my mind. You can`t beat the raw power of a V8 & there`s nothing that sounds so good I just love em   Cheers ................Bri

Thanks for all your input guys.its been fun...............Cheers Bri

Hi   Dave     My Ford pk up is the same as the one on the front cover of  "Mack Hil`s" book on Ford pk up`s 1932-1952. The horn is short & has a round cap at the rear, its  mounted under the headlight bar,  I note the repro one`s different at the rear, Ive looked at the electo magnetic motor & can`t see how it would make the Ah oo Gha sound. I recon its just a BEEB any way it looks like you where right regarding using the 9v resistor Ill try 2 in series on Monday.Thanks................ Brian  

Hey  N8Dc   Thanks for your input. I tried the 9v ign resistor, & it sounds  loads better but Im still not getting the ooogha sound., its more like a deep BIB!  it is an original 33 Ford pk up horn,, perhaps Henry Ford only fitted ooogha horns on passenger model`s ,            any feedback please................Bri

Pep   I tried the horn on `12v it sounded nothing like an ooogha so I wired a 10 Watt resistor in series & didn`t get a peep out of it, if I use a 24 watt resistor what ohms value should it be........Bri

Thank`s Guys I get on with all that info, Cheer`s Bri

Please can anyone tell how I can get my 6volt oogha horn to work on a 12volt system. :?:   Cheer`s Bri

Thank`s Tony

Thanks guy`s they are the answer`s I require, My local parts house only stock "Dexron two & on the side of the container it says DX THREE which is a little confusing, is it two or three, Cheer`s ..............Brian

Please can anyone inform of which is the best trans fluid for the 700r4 gearbox & the amount it takes, I have a outside trans filter installed.      Crosley if you read this I got my triple Roaches set up to the TV cable sorted thanks again for your help............Brian

Thanks Guys for all your help, its very much appreciated. Topsterguy Ive just ordered a pair from the Ebay site you gave me. Thats another piece in my 33 Ford pk up puzzle. Cheers Bri :b-d:  

Hi     Guys can anyone help me, Im looking to purchase a pair of chrome outside rims for my Guide Headlights they are the 7" one`s with the sidelights on the top. Thanks for looking.  Santa Fe Bri  

Thanks everyone for there input on this thread, Ive finally got the idea how it all works. I do now understand what you mean Crosley about the TV cable needing tension on it full time & thanks for those enlarged pictures. The slotted arm to the rear carb carb was confusing me as my progresive linkage is on the other side of the carbs & I thought that slotted arm was something to do with the TV Cable, Im no longer puzzled on this problem. I wanted to make sure I get the correct adjustment on the gearbox & tricarbs & now feel OK to start. Cheers Everyone         Santa Fe Bri :b-d:
