Not surprisingly, this show has been cancelled.

The shift lever on my 1941 180 has a curved end and ball. To be honest, I catch my hand on it often when making a right hand turn. I have seen pictures of other 41's that have just a straight stalk and a elongated tapered knob instead of what I have. That would seem less likely to catch ones hand on. Were some models equipped with one rather than the other? Were they perhaps changed during the production run? I'm not planning to make any changes, just curious.

OK. So I should plan on a day and a half? LOL

Thank you so much. It does look the busted off bottom of the linked Steele part. If I am reading the Parts List illustration correctly, it looks like it would be #14.009. Since nothing is ever easy, assuming that is the part (the car is stored 10 miles away so I can't go out in the garage and check) how big a hassle should I be expecting trying to install a replacement?

I had the 41 180 up on jack stands while I put on new front tires. When I went to lower the car, I heard something drop near the passenger front tire and I found this piece. I have looked in the parts list drawing of the front suspension and I don't find anything that looks like it could be this. That led me to think it might have dropped from higher up. Can anyone identify this for me?

Ultimately I went with the Coker Goodrich. Now, the issue I am having is finding someone to mount them. I have tried a national chain store near me but they say no, their chain and probably all chains are not allowed to change tubed tires. I checked with a little independent discount tire store that does new and used tires. There was a language barrier there, but the end result was clear- No. I then found another near by independent shop that said yes, but that they are still getting moved in from their old location where they had been for 25 years and to come back next week. Well, at least I got a Yes.

I have the other stands tied up on the coupe. I was going to start by doing the swap out on the tires I bought for the coupe and then do the sedan but after jacking up the coupe I found the sedan had gone flat . I tried changing the valve stem insides but it still leaked so some OCD and ADD set in and I ordered tires for the sedan. Assuming our local show in April doesn't get scuttled by world events, I asked several friends to ride there with me. They won't all fit in the coupe so the sedan bumped the line. Sorry for the overly verbose reply.

Thanks all. I got it jacked up in the back and got the jack stands in. I used a piece of 4x4 between the frame and the jack. It gave it some added height and the arm of the jack didn't have to go so high. The tires have room to slide out but not lots. Enough is as good as plenty in this case. I do have to admit, it was a bit nerve racking jacking up this behemoth for the first time. Much less worrisome when I jack up the coupe. It's been a little bit of a task finding a place that will mount tubed tires but the third was the charm.

Now, anything unusual I should worry about when I go to take off the fronts next week?

Thank you much! I put the jack under the place where the springs attach to the axle and put the jack stand under the axle just inboard of that. I'll go back and look for a point on the frame where I can jack it and put a jack stand near by. It's a new car to me and I am just making my first excursion under it. To be slim would be a big help

Boy do I feel dumb, but is there any particular trick to removing the rear tire on a 41 7 passenger sedan? I have one side up on a jack stand but the tire doesn't clear the fender. The only thing I can think of is to remove the castle nut and see if that gives me the clearance I need.
