gm's "Heep" was a blast to have at the parade no question. It probably got more looks than any of the stuff there. It is the real deal. You can tell it will work, and has worked for a long time....
Nice find gm! You might have to write to these guys to find that one.

Super nice Job Hdk! You are not the first to experience the poor fitting windshield seal. I was not able to find a real good fit. I tried a few different suppliers. It seems like there are only two...
Steve, I have experienced, and still do somewhat share your observations. I think the parts we are getting are not up to spec. I believe the drums are oversize and the shoes are not arched correctly,...
You could always fabricate or have one fabricated for you if you cant find one. Let us know how it goes.
Just checked out your photo album. Great shots man! It looks like serious clay there. At...
I think it is a 1/4" flare fitting. That means it would be a 7/16" x 20 thread pitch. Can you get a close up picture?
Get it to that car show 56", if its running take her out. It doesn't have to be finished that's for sure.
It sounds like someone might have slipped in a clutch shaft from another vehicle in there.
56' sounds like he knows exactly how to impress the neighbors! That's why some build em' 56, to make some noise!
Bubba engineering could definitely be in the works on the clutch shaft. It needs to be right or you will have trouble.
Many soldiers when they heard the infamous clicking or clunking of the axle...
It used to be the places like Summit looked at the products they sourced form China. It seems now they pass them right to us to check out, review and send back.
Thanks 56', I enjoy your project! Zinc is required in your engine. I would run a conventional 30 weight or a 10W-30 engine oil that contains Zinc, rather than add it. Zinc has its own issues. Too...
Its alive! Nice looking ride there TJ. I love the air conditioning! Great color combination. That baby will get some looks.
It is looking great 56' Here is a link for lubes.

After my oil disaster, I always install a new copper washer, tighten it down and fie it up. If it leaks I tighten till it stops.
A standard Harmonic Balancer puller will take the balancer off....
It is under engine oil pressure. A max of around 40 PSI or so. If it is not a good tight fit it will leak. If it is not solidly attached it will blow off and dump all the oil in a minute. The copper...
I agree with gm and 56', you have more than one thing going on. If the pedal goes to the floor and there are no external leaks, the seals on the master cylinder piston are leaking internally. The...
The breather was in the cover on the model 41 and early Salisbury stuff. Later when the 44 appeared, the 44 has the breather as a hollow bolt holding the brake block down as in gm's link to the Scout...
There is a gasket under the bolt. It is a tricky one as you can see from the copy of a post below from my thread on peeJ. The threads on the timing cover should be an inverted flare fitting. The...
Really a great project HDK. The pictures are great. There is a lot of detail there. I am positive there are pictures that will help others out.
With your rig, it must be perfect! Everything on...
The project is looking very good 56'! I believe you have brought Flossy back in a solid way. The paint looks just right. Taking them to a get together is what its all about. Even if its a small...
You are truly getting the full experience with that rig Hdk! That is a great toy to have around that's for sure. That baby is pristine. You are doing an excellent job of keeping it perfect. I would...
On mine everything was worn out. I pretty much had to replace everything in the linkage. The worn out clutch linkage explained some of the damage I found in the transmission from grinding gears!
I am definitely liking the tape recorded radio chatter. That makes the whole thing a time machine!
gm has you straight. Do Not Touch the adjusting bolts on the fingers of the pressure plate. They are preset. Moving those will definitely lead to problems. as gm said, and we discussed before, any...
