I am already aware that the setup from the factory functions fine. I wasn't asking that at all. I was asking if anyone has done this conversion before.

I posted this in the modification section of the forum purposefully, in the hopes that it would lessen the amount of "why would you ever modify anything on a Packard? Packards are perfect from the factory" amount of comments. I guess that plan didn't work.

First off - To the Packard Purists - I apologize in advance for my sacrilegious thoughts and comments

My 41 is a bit of mess, and I'm looking to make the brake/clutch setup as simple as possible. The complicated bracket filled mess that came from the factory hurts my brain.

Just curious if anyone has ran something like this. I would run a cable for the clutch, with a return spring on the other side of the clutch lever. I'd prefer a front disc brake conversion, but I don't see that available from Kanter anymore?

I have Champion UY6 spark plugs in mine. They were the most readily available I could find.

Yea, I see that - but it's $40 a can lol. I'm guessing it will take a little more than one can to paint the engine. That seems a little steep. Lots of different hi-temp greens on Amazon for much less. I wonder if any of them are pretty close.

Anyone know a close equivalent in spray can form that is rated for hi-temp?

Thanks in advance.

Good to hear. Just wanted to double check. I'm looking to sell the car, so don't want to spend more than I have to lol.

Thanks,

I have a 1941 120 3 speed overdrive. The rear trans mount pretty much fell apart when I removed the drivetrain. I checked with Max Merritt and they have it in stock for $150 + $125 core. Does anyone know a more affordable source for this part? Just figured it was worth asking before dropping the dough.

Thanks,

Price is now $8500 if anyone is interested.
