Thread: Bones.........wanted

Tweet

I'm looking for a set of Split & Drilled front wishbones for a 31 Ford Cpe. Thank's Dennis

Ebay. I just bought another set to store (not drilled, but split) because they are starting to bring big money, and I want to buy them while you can still find them under $ 150.00 a pair.

Just a suggestion, if you go Ebay. Use search words like 29 ford, 1929 ford, ford wishbones, wishbones, etc. Under Rat Rod the prices are higher.

Just in case no one on here can help you out.

Cool............ thanks

I have a pair of 30's and a pair of 37's but their not drilled. You can have either for $150.00 and you pay shipping. Thanks.

If either, consider the '37's. The model a bones are really thin compared to the later ones.

Not trying to make any decision for you, but just an observation about early versus late bones.

Also, you don't want to just drill the bones and leave bare holes. The correct way to do it is slip a piece of correct size tubing into the holes, weld them in place, and grind smooth. Otherwise, they are weaker, and water gets trapped inside.

While I like the looks of drilled bones, I personally don't do it, as I feel it weakens them, and they aren't all that big to start with. But if you must, this is the way to do it.

JMO, Don

Nice find Denny, mine aren't even close to that. If I was looking, I'd go for it but, I chose the 4 bar system.

Thanks Don.......... yup, I alway's put tubeing back in to bring a little more strength back into them.
