Thanks much guys. Does anyone know of a “how to video”:or some other knowledge that explains more about points and condensers and how to replace them?

Hello,
Sorry for the elementary question, but I hear people say “you need to carry a set of points with you”. What exactly are we talking about here? Understand the points are under the distributor cap, right? Are we talking about carrying around a spare cap? Asking as I want to have a small kit of essential emergency spare parts that I keep in the car glove box.
These parts will be for a 7-40 Roadster.
Thank you!
Rich

Thanks for the info guys….gonna contact Crin….if he does have an option….the it’s 5 gallon paint can time!

So, I took the old small mirror and had a new one made, not sure it is “correct” or not, but it was exactly like the smaller one was that was on the car when I bought it. The original mirror was 4.5 inches (first picture), and I replaced it with a 9 inch mirror (second picture)

Hi,
Does anyone know what material, what kind of wire, to use to make a bail wire that holds to radiator cap/hood ornament on the car?

Background: I have a 7-40 and I am adding a stone guard. I have the mounting hardware that includes the wishbone type bracket that is held on by the wire bail. Then current wire bail on the car is not long enough to hold the bracket in place, so I must make a new wire bail that is longer at the bottom (the part of the bail wire that attaches to the actual cap) so it can accept the bracket (see photos). Any ideas or help with this would be great. What material to use to make a new bail wire or how to modify the current original one.
Thanks,
Rich

Checked into my tires...split rim. Purchased a few spoon tools on Amazon and got the metal (chrome) disc piece off without a problem and minimal damage to the paint on the wheels.
I ordered a pair of the Bedfords from Lucas Tire only to have my order cancelled a few days later and an email saying they are out of stock with no resupply date.

Hi All,
I am getting ready to purchase a new set of 7.00-19 tires for a 1930 roadster. Wanted to ask for anyone experiences/recommendations....Lester?, Firestone?, Bedford?...all seem to be in the same price range...which are the best? Also, I am looking at purchasing from Lucas Classic Tire. Are there any other places that specialize in classic tires and have good prices?
Thank you!
Rich
