Custom made WISHBONES - 1932 FORD FRAME (Roadster Build)

On this episode we adapt a set of stock 1936 wishbones with a model A ball mount to create a stock looking wishbone for our 1932 frame. Unfortunately we did not have a stock 1932 set to bolt in so we used what we had in the work shop and the result is exactly what we were after. The front end is now mocked up and we can figure out our steering and pedal assembly. Another step closer!

Enjoy your process on these projects, unique and original demo of your skills. BTW been watching Mike Bello since he started posting - man is a MASTER.

[@bennettscustomsco]

He certainly is!

[@mr_paw_t]

Focusing on good, positive solutions! 👍 Keep up the creative content.

[@bennettscustomsco]

Thanks T.

Nice job on the wishbone!!! Enjoy the visit and the weekend!

[@stevehansen5477]

I like 35/36 wishbones. The front knuckles are such that they have the most potential tie rod clearance when running a dropped axle.

[@bennettscustomsco]

They definitely do!

[@johnkranz4004]

Real nice job Jordan looks great

[@paulblack2402]

We’ll done again Jordan, all looks good!

Thanks for the video. My 53 Chevy 1/2 ton pickup's front axle was made to fly and safely return to earth by Pete and Jakes and Superbell. I't a 4" drop oval tube axle. The spindles are early Ford. It's a beefed up early Ford roadster axle set up for leaf springs. I went with the Ford front axle because they just look nicer. I had to put Heidts spindle pins in the Ford spindle so I could mount my 12.88" 6 piston Wilwood brakes and make caliper brackets. I like the tip on the leaf spring tune up. Thank you for your time.

[@bennettscustomsco]

Sounds like a solid setup! Nice to adapt certain things to create something

[@murdoc6501]

A-another great tutorial of your process. Knocked it out of the park once again! Thank you. Seriously great stuff here with great explanation. Go Bennetts Customs, keep moving forward! Looking forward for the shenanigans with Karl!

[@bennettscustomsco]

Thanks Murdoc! Much appreciated

[@joecioe8566]

I like how you use what you have and make so that it is done right and looks like it is original. Great job Jordan.

[@bennettscustomsco]

Thanks Joe! Much appreciated. Always nice to hold on to the spare parts

Really good solution! Enjoy Karl’s return visit and open session, you two do great work!

Jordan - Have you tried soaking the drums & hub in a bucket of Vinegar for a few days - or trying the electrolysis method. Washing soda in water and a piece of plate as an anode hooked up to a 7 Amp battery charger. Might just free everyting up and remove the rust without dinting or distorting the drums and wont hurt the spindles either

[@SchysCraftCo.]

So happy to see a new video. You guys got great videos. Amazing craftsmanship. Always good to see ur videos no matter how long it may be. Keep them coming. It's coming along nicely so far sir. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making.

[@bennettscustomsco]

We should have some great ones coming soon too, changing the way we filming stuff!

[@billcameron8119]

nice work I plan to do the same wishbone that you did here. I love your riviting videos as well. Thanks!

[@bennettscustomsco]

Thanks mate!

[@WaxMeister]

Great job! I just finished that exact job converting my '37 wishbones to fit a '32 axel to live under my '35 coupe. Almost all the same steps you did except, I was able to tweak my spring perch a touch and all slipped into place like it belonged. We do what we can with what we have.

[@bennettscustomsco]

That’s exactly right! Good to hear it all worked out aswell!

Nice work extending the wishbones Jordan, it sounds like Karl will be busy during his visit down here I am sure the meet and greet will be a huge success if I wasn't nearly 3000k's away I would be there. Cheers Greg

Hello Jordan. These jobs are very familiar to me. Some observations, which I imagine you already know, but some might not. The Model A yoke you have might be helping with the clearance at the sump near the starter. It has a slight drop which the 32 does not have. The 37 type bones you have will give you an advantage as they are raised relative to the axle and will give better clearance with the track rod passing underneath. This is a big problem if using 37 type spindles and a 32 wishbone, so the setup you have is very good from that point of view. Dropped axles make it worse. The front drums will not be familiar to any USA viewers that type were only used in non USA markets and are one piece. Not 100% sure on this, just an opinion I have formed. I think your front spring is Model A. 32s have 7/8" eyes as stock and often 3/4" as aftermarket. You might be better off keeping the Model A perches as I think it will all match up if you are using Model A shackles. If the eyes are not 3/4" you might have to do some adaptation to use the 32 perches. Shame you realised the bosses might want machining down after you welded it all together! It would have been an easier setup if still in bits. I'm sure you will sort it all out, It's what you do! I don't know if you would be interested or not but I did quite a detailed build series on my 32 Sedan, including building up the front end which involved building up worn perches and remachining. All good fun stuff. Ok, all the best, Mart from Mart's Garage in England.

[@bennettscustomsco]

This was amazing to read! I will be going through your videos. What a massive help!

[@1936fordcrazy]

Im surprised that your not using a drop axle, nice work on makeing the wishbone work!

[@bennettscustomsco]

Nah this is going to be a nice hi boy. No drops for now.

The rosettes on the rear try a 8, mil hole hole top and bottom in the middle of the weld should give you the strength U need

[@markgriffin4888]

I know that you are in Australia, but most people who work on old vehicles, work in imperial measurements, even if it is incorrect when you usually work in metric.

[@bennettscustomsco]

I use both, works for me!

[@bennettscustomsco]

But never a metric bolt on an older imperial car!

I'm building a 26 roadster. I have a place I can choose any year ford parts I want to use. Frames axles etc. Just want to build a pretty mild car but lowered a bit. What chassis a front axle would you start with? If you need any parts I can check with my guy and don't mind paying for shipping from north dakota I can check for you. Great channel! Thanks for sharing

[@michaelgillespie1206]

Do cars have to be right hand drive in Australia?

[@bennettscustomsco]

If they are imported LHD you can keep it that way but I think if you’re building something is has to be?

[@terryhodgson8798]

What's your caster angle at????

[@bennettscustomsco]

Good question

[@terryhodgson8798]

@@bennettscustomsco set it at least 5to 7 degrees positive! Makes those old axles work great!

Is that Bottom of the axle tipped to the rear 5-7 degrees vs the top. Sorry trying to learn.

Its not a 32, it's a 29 on 32 rail's.
