Hello all,
I've been lurking here for a long time. I'm afraid the only thing I'll have to contribute to this forum for quite awhile are questions. I seem to have plenty of those.
I'm in the early stages of restoring my Jubilee. I actually have two. I just bought a parts donor with a 5" hole in the block. I've been doing alot of reading and research. I've got a few questions.
I see this site is carrying a replacement hood and one other big "official Ford licensed part manufacture" sells the complete hood assembly. Seems pretty expensive and I'm not at all sure I'd pay that price but I'm curious about the quality. I read somewhere the replacements weren't as thick as the originals..Anyone tired these and if so what's your thoughts. I've done alot of searching for reviews or feedback and haven't found anything. I've got three partial sets of sheetmetal so I can piece together at least one pretty nice set. But I'm curious about the replacements and I'm differently going to need a pair of the sides (dog legs).
I've also read that replacement fenders are smaller than the originals. As in not exactly the same height. Anyone run across that. Can you suggest where to buy high quality replacements. I'm only interested in the raised script version. There seems to be a wide range in prices but I'd think most are made by the same manufacture.
Next question, I've got my steering gear box disassembled to rebuild it. Got it all cleaned up and waiting on replacement bearings then I realized I can't find the little washer/screw that holds the lower bearing on the shaft. I'm not sure it was there when I took it apart or maybe ended up in the bottom of my parts washing bucket. Either way I need a replacement and can't find one anywhere. Anyone have one they'd be willing to part with? or point me in the right direction to buy one?
Thank you in advance. JH
