FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

Don, then I suggest that you try to find an original one. It has one hole for the starter bolt and 2 holes for the pan side, one of the pan side holes is elongated. I think that this is the 8A-11140.

TomO: I moved the little bracket every which way and nothing works.

I am wrong about the extra hole for the 21 stud engine. The Green Book shows that the 59A pan will fit 1932-1948 engines. If the Green book is correct, the bolt holes would be in the same relative position on the 21 stud and later blocks.

Try installing the bracket on the oil pan and then installing the starter bolt. Make sure that the other starter bolt is tightened just enough for the head to contact the lock-washer.

I suspect that the 51A bracket won't work with your 21 stud engine, as they show as being for the 39-53 years. They are not a complicated piece, and you may be able to fabricate one to fit. The last ones we bought came from Baxter Ford Parts in Lawrence KS.

Don,

I am not sure if the bracket with 2 holes on the oil pan side will fit the 21 stud engine, but I think that is the purpose for the 2 holes.

Try Little Dearborn or Joblot. Both of them have some NOS Ford parts left.

Super: The through bolts are very tight and I purchased a support bracket from C & G and it doesn't fit. The holes don't line up either way. Do you know of another place where I can get one that fit's a 1937 Ford 85 HP? Don

When the engine starts, the drive is spun out of the ring gear via the spiral on the shaft. The Bendix spring provides some cushioning, but if this spiral is clean and dry,as it should be, it can make a noise. A badly worn gear or shaft can make is louder. Be sure the starter thru bolts has secured it to the engine, and the support bracket is in place.

UPDATE: I replaced the bendix on my starter that I purchsed from Mac's today. The car starts okay but I'm not too sure about what this new bendix sounds like. After you hit the starter button and the engine begins to start I hear a clunk noise in the starter area. The only thing I can tell it is the recoil from the bendix after the flywheel spits the small gear out. I did do a test and hit the switch under the soleniod and it's nice and quiet when it meets the flywheel. Anything to worry about?

it is suppossed to be a little "sloppy", do not be tempted to put grease or oil on it or you will be removing it again to clean it off- I know I learned that lesson a long time ago.
