Guest Steve Jansen Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Need flywheel assy. or Ring gear (if replaceable) also starter drive gear (Bendix type). Want parts before I start the project. Is this ring gear replaceable or is it part of the flywheel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fordy Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Hi SteveThe ring gear is a replaceable unit - heat it up with a torch to expand it and it almost falls off.Heat it up (not to much needed) to put on the new one - they turn up occasionally online or at swaps. What I did with mine was reverse the old one and it seems to work fine (I have a new one but no reason to change it yet - If I need to work on the clutch or gearbox then that will be the time). I believe the starter bendix is the same as Model A Ford but don't hold me to it.CheersSteve FordSouth Australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hupp36 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Hi Steve , I have the parts you need to fix your car, but they will not be available until April 2015. If you have not found them by then, tell me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Since answering this post I have discovered that the A Ford has 10 teeth on the Bendix and the Westinghouse unit used on the R Hupp has 12 teeth. I need to replace mine as its got teeth chipped off - is there any issue on using a reduced tooth count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lump Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I have spare used Model R parts, including some flywheels. Let me know if you cannot fix yours as described above. I'm in Ohio, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Thanks, Lump but I have spares sorted thru the for-sale part of this Forum. Shipping to Australia is doubling the price though as it's so high. It has to be knocking the steam out of parts companies heavily reliant on mail order sales! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send me a PM, and we can trade email addresses, if you like. I have a late 1923 Model R touring car, and have some maintenance projects ahead of me. Maybe we can trade info, etc. Cheers, mate! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
