Re: Wiper ground wire.
Hello; I 'restored' my TC exu starting in 1975 and completing it in 1985, so I have not looked at the wiper wires carefully since then. What I remember is that the wire exited the dash on the left side and went into the vertical post of the windshield near the bottom and then went up and around the ...

Re: TC body panel fitting
I restored my car, a 49 TC exu, from 1975 to 1985, before any books were written on the subject that I could find. That said The measurements I made of the body and attach points were transferred to the 2x4 substructure then the ash timbers and I started there . The running boards were put on the bo...

Re: Horn Button function & originality
You may know this already but the 'D' stands for 'dip' and the
'H' stands for 'high'. The lever below changes from D to H. But you probably knew this already.

Re: Fuel pump not delivering
Mark; Assuming you are using the original type S U pump, is the diaphragm still good or did you replace the pump with rebuilt or new. When I started this in 1973 I bought a rebuild kit from Moss and rebuilt mine and it worked for awhile. I am not sure they are available any more. If the thing clicks...

Except for the Indy trip it has been driven to destination. The car was originally in Hot springs, SD (a veterans town). I bou...

Re: Hood er Bonnet gasket fastiner
Julian; I restored my TC 1975 to1985 and have driven it 12,000 miles since. I used 'tacks' to fasten the rubber gasket to the wood where the rear edge of the bonnet rests. Tacks come in a number of lengths and the wood you are nailing into has a depth of about 3/4" as I remember. Use a 5/16 or a 3/8...

Re: TC Radiator hose leaks
Jeff;
I would be suspicious of the water pump malfunction, the suggestion of a bad thermostat or a corroded lower metal pipe are also top considerations.
I would seem that a evaluation of all the components is in order.
Good luck, Joel.

Re: Hub steel plug
Tim; I have a 49 EXU that I restored starting in 1975 and finished 1985. My car's hubs have the plug, three of them fit and tighten snuggly and one of them screws in but becomes loose as it reaches the 'top' of the threads. It stays in, maybe held in by the hub. I have not explored the cause and hav...
