What a job! Instructions say "takes two people, one on each side." No kidding ... I asked the wife unit to help .. she did (maybe she wanted to get the headliner kit off the dining room table) ... I didn't know she knew such words. She's threatening to use my FTE tee shirt as a rag if I ask her to anything like that again. Anyhow, the overhead piece is now in place, but there is a slight kink near the passenger's side of the rear window; and, it seems as if the front of the piece just won't slip properly into the space between the header bar and the roof. The left and right sides have slipped in about 1/4 inch, but the center won't go any further. Now, I must acknowledge that I glued some thin foam-backed headliner material on the cardboard of the kit, but this probably did not add more than 3/8 inch overall to any dimension. Anybody else tried this Carpenter headliner kit? Had the same experience? Any ideas? RAY ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Apr 2000 20:01:05 -0400 From: Fred Hooper Subject: Re: Headliner Kit > Ray, I just put one in my '56, wife unit would not help... thought I was nuts. I was. I did get it in, chewed up three finger and a thumb doing it. I add the foam/foil insulation to the roof. Then put the liner in. One corner is not forward as much as the rest, and I don't see how I could have done anything differently. My only mistake was overlapping the insulation in the top center of the cab, of course the liner hit that spot... no other. and so sags downward the 1/4 inch on each side. I'm still thinking about trying to drop the front and remove the extra 1/4 inch of foam at that point. I would have loved to see how this was done at the factory????

Not sure if this would help you, Ray, but the restoration book I have recommends moistening (just a bit, not soaking) the back of cardboard panels before installing them. They suggest spraying a mixture of 80% ammonia and 20% water out of a spray bottle. This will allow the cardboard to bend without kinking, and will dry in a day or two. Since you already have the piece on, this may be more trouble than it's worth... Can't offer any personal experiences -- I'm nowhere near this point yet. =====jeffh icon-stl.net=====http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://www.icon-stl.net/~jeffh====== Another fine message brought to you by the Screaming Penguins: Unnoficial site of the "John Madden for President" campaign! ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Apr 2000 22:09:28 -0500 Subject: Steering Gear From: "Andy Montebello" I'm looking for a recommendation for a replacement steering gear for my 1950 Ford Pickup. I have rebuilt the front end, but still have a wander so I'm sure it is the box. I don't need power steering and I won't be converting to IFS so what is available? ------------------------------ From: "Scott Wood" Subject: 226 flathead rebuild Date: Mon, 24 Apr 2000 20:42:20 -0800 I am in the process of rebuilding the 226 6 cylinder flathead for my '51 F2. When I disassembled the engine, a ball bearing fell out and I have no idea where it goes. The diagrams in my service manual don't show it and there is no description of it in the text. I think it's a check ball for the lubrication system. Any help would be appreciated.
