Thank you all for the help. John

OK, thanks The only hole close and large enough is next to the upper shock mount. I'll see if the new hose reaches that far. John

It's time to rebuild the glue bomb I built as a youngster. I really need a glue free front engine cover. It is clear plastic and exposes the 2 front pistons as they stroke in their cylinders. I am building it with the front mounted Potvin blower. Message me. Thanks, John

OK, thank you. Where does the rear brake hose attach to the frame? John

Can anyone post a pic or describe the brake line routing from the 4 way distribution block located between the drivers side of the engine and frame rail. Near the left front shock mount. Inside the frame rail. I have the master cyl./dist. block and rear brake/dist. block lines figured out. It's the lines going to the front brake hoses from the dist. block that I'm not sure of. Thanks, John

We have it figured out. The pinion shaft is tapered. The spacer fits only one way. Thanks for looking. John

In the upper left corner look for the spacer between the 2 bearings on the pinion shaft. Does that spacer fit the shaft in one direction only or can it be switched end for end and still go into position on the shaft? Thanks, John

Is there a problem with yours?

Thank you all for the help. I think I understand it now. John

Thank you Alan. I have seen those. DCM doesn't know how many or location of each configuration is correct for a 37. They know 39 thru 47. John

This is what I have to work with. However, there are 6 holes in the cab floor indicating that there should be 6 bolt/spring assemblies I think. I know in 1942, 3 bolt/spring assemblies and one bolt (less spring) was the stock setup. I believe that set up allowed for one bolt (less spring) to anchor the cab while the remaining 3 with springs, allowed some frame twist between it and the cab. Any help from the Brothers appreciated.

Don't tell John or Horace Dodge that I'm going to use some machined threaded rivets.

SRPM is between suppliers and attempting to set someone up to resume production. I prefer steel, but a viable set is near unobtanium status. What have you? John

Thanks Dave. Looks like a cold rivet of some sort. Even if I had the pieces I wouldn't have the tool to install. Picture me scratching my head. John

Engine side of the firewall. Above the coil. 2 pressed countersunk holes, one above the other. Fasteners in each hole secure the cowl vent lever assembly to the firewall. Can anyone describe the stock fasteners? The holes measure approx. 1/4" diameter. I say approx. because the holes are punched rather than drilled. Thanks, John
