| Subject: | Ford Model A Question |
I am looking for the springs that go on top of the Model A block that hold the
engine block to the wood bearers. Does anyone have a source or part number of
what they have used? I have checked with local hardware stores, McMaster Carr,
MSC, etc. everybody has springs but not the correct size. Dia. Is too big, coil
size to big, etc. smaller ones that I have found that would work are too weak
and not strong enough. Any leads would be apprecaited.
Thanks Rob

JacK Textor:
About 300 years before the Wright brothers, a guy in England wrote a play about
the Roman Empire, and the dialog included a timeless bit of wisdom:
.
"The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves "
.
The passage is really about resisting elevating a man to divine status who on the
basis of observed evidence, was a mortal. It addresses the element in all humans
that wants to believe that they can abdicate from difficult decisions if
they grant special powers, ie: emperor, certification, etc, to one side and then
blindly follow it.
Both engines can be made to work well, The fault dear jack, is not in the metal,
but in the people. And the primary fault of the people is granting a used O-200
some special status, because some of the parts on it were once inside a set
of specifications called certified. To blindly trust that, or to believe that
O-200s without logs or papers still inherently will have advantages over conversions,
is the very core of the exact attitude that has cost many people dearly.
The only defense in aviation is Never to grant an engine, plane nor pilot special
status that no longer requires you to examine it for what it is. Trust, only
on the basis of what you can see and understand, and have verified. This kind
of thinking was taught to me by old men, aviators who were alive because the
never made 'gods' of things that were just metal systems.-ww.

O-200 is turn key by in large. and more expensive
New lightweight (199LB) is $21,000+
older O200 is around 220Lbs+ or -
overhaul to new limits is $13000+ plus core $2-3000
You can do the overhaul yourself and save money.
Lots of certified and uncertified props.
Corvair takes work but is much less expensive
"New" from WW runs $9700 to $11,700 (120HP).
Built up by yourself runs around $5000 to $8000 and is zero time
Weight 225lbs
Corvair engine turns the other way so it needs a"left hand prop" but there
are many out there.
Lots of opinions, out there Pro and con.
I would certainly consider either engine. If I ever need an engine I think
I will go Corvair and build it up myself for the experience. Plus I would
really know how to work on it!
Blue Skies,
Steve D

Thank you gentlemen.
I've read through the links again and picked up a few things I had missed on previous
reads.
I am inclined to send off for Doc Mosher's Piet info packet. Is he still offering
this?

as far as bigger props go- I expect WW can fill you in as what performs best, but
if I remember right a 68" dia. was about what I think I remember being pretty
much optimum for the vair.probably can play plenty with the pitch and blade
width and such but I'm not sure it's adviseable to go a lot longer - due to
weight, flywheel effect and such on the corvair rank. but I'm pretty sure someone
will give a better opinion
