Been there and done that. Made a copper plate for Big Red, Wade's '37 Super 8 Club Sedan a few years back, not the same as your 120 but similar. At the time Wade mentioned he'd previously made a stainless steel plate for another application.
Thanks Mal! I'm assuming on the block off plates, you just sandwiched it into the hot box instead of the gasket, and no leaks?
I'll have to give it a shot, assuming one can get supplies in this current unusual state of things.
Got a little bit more done last night. Started re-assembling the suspension, will finish the drivers side lower arm today, and then be waiting for my new shock to arrive and parts from the machnist.
Also cleaned out the wheel bearings, ready to re-pack. Wheel seals should get here today; the old ones were more modern than leather, but still pretty old, and completely shot.
More re-assembly today, and then waiting for parts! I thought I hit the jackpot yesterday on floorboard screws at fastenal, but they were all obsolete, and I would have had to order everything in lots of 100. Seems a bit much for 3 screws. I'll covert 4 screws to 1/4-20, since the originals are 1/4-28 and I can't find any 1/4-28x1.5" slotted flat head machine screws.
