Do you have a picture of the other side? -
I'd think it's Ford, as the ribs changed at least 4 times that I know of. I guess the draftsmen do that to keep busy.Comment

How bad is the crack? I wouldn't be surprised to find half the Model A's with at least a small crack in the housing. I think it would be OK, and the way we drive today, it should outlive us. That said, I still look for no cracks, but they are getting hard to find. -
If it's CRACKED, it wouldn't even make a GOOD Garden Bell (DONK!)

Has anyone had their flywheel housing resurfaced to make sure it's true11-13-2020, 06:33 PM -
I did a search on this subject and ran across theory that the shims were not necessarily needed between the top of the housing and the engine block, if a gasket was not used. I don't have a magnetic mount gauge to check the run out, so I was going to fab a fixed mount kind of tool and use a feeler gauge. I have kind of an idea for this in my head, that I can bolt this tool to the flywheel, and I could...05-17-2020, 04:23 PM -
My 1931 flywheel housing was cracked so I welded it. I can not get the flywheel to flywheel housing difference to less than .005. The greatest difference is .016. Do I need to replace the flywheel housing or is this measurement not extremely important? I have already have two shims in the top bolts....10-10-2020, 10:38 AM -

Today I painted a flywheel housing for a motor I'm building.
Thought I'd share, where I do and don't apply paint.
The unpainted areas are for better grounding with our Positive 6v ground.
Hope this helps.

Posted here is a typical flywheel housing that is cracked.
I am posting this picture for the benefit of all.
Remember to loosen the rear the rear mounting bolts when lifting the front of the engine, as this may be the result.
I am editing this post....Very Important!.
This cracking is also caused by “not” placing shims between the flywheel housing and the block, where the...You do not have permission to view this gallery.

I am FINALLY reinstalling my rebuilt engine. Engine in; drivetrain/tanny all in. There is no way to fit the shims that fit at the throttle linkage. The housings are totally mated. Suggestions? Thanks in advance.12-17-2018, 04:52 PM

What is the correct factory distance between the flywheel face and the clutch cover plate mounting surface. Brattons states 1.123 in in their catalogue. I measured 1.179 on an old flywheel which, of course may have been altered. Ed01-11-2019, 10:15 AM -
Thank you for including me on this forum. I just bought a Model A roadster,a 1931 Deluxe and it has been 43 years since I owned one.I bought a 1930 roadster in 1964 at age 18 years old,first car ever bought on my own. I have a lot of work to do on this car,mechanically which I can do,actually more issues than I thought it was going to have. It has a cracked flywheel housing which I am looking for...09-28-2018, 05:36 PM -
Ok, after doing an extensive site search, I have come up blank, so asking here.
I need some type of a drawing with dimensions to give to my machinist with the lightened flywheel profile. Everyone says "lighten the flywheel" but I can't find a drawing to dictate where and how much meat to remove.
Thrill me and produce me a picture I can copy and print for the machinist....02-09-2019, 11:05 PM
