The garage clinic on March 28 was well attended with more than 15 members and guests. We attended to 3 model A’s with two brake jobs and one exhaust manifold. The first brake job on a Cabriolet was fairly straight forward job for John Hunter , a simple adjustment on the rods. The second was a fordor sedan; this job started with removing the rear drum to find that a spring had broken and a few of the lugs had loosened from their swedge. After assembly and disassembly a few times we were finally able to get the car back on the road.
The exhaust manifold needed to be trued up straight. This was done by Fred Hamway patiently sanding back and forth over an 80 grit piece of sandpaper glued to a slab of Granet.
We also had a small side job of truing up the two half’s of a Tillotson carburetor . Thanks to Chris for having the patients to sand and file the aluminum parts.
We will be having a second clinic possibly in May for a member with a replacement wiring harness. If anyone else has something they need help with, please let me know.
Thanks to all who helped out repairing the cars, it is wonderful to see everyone pitching in together. Everyone learns something. A special thanks to those who supplied the fresh bagels and donuts.
