ford gpa g504

Hi guys, slowly but surely, i'm making progress .... but there are some things that puzzle me ! For instance : - can anyone tell me how the wire from the fuelsender is routed ? Is this through the chassis ? - does anyone have a picture + some mesurements for the canvas that fits in the underside of ...

Hi guys,

i just found a website on the internet with 24 pictures of a surviving Russian GPA. It's a little bit modified, but still has some original features on it.

Peter,

i just wanted to lett you know that i'm still interested in the other plate as well :wink:

Glenn

Hi Peter,

it sure looks very good !

I would also be interested in detailed pictures of your system, especially because you are using existing holes .... :lol:

Great !

BTW Did you ever get any further with the plate in the engine-room you were going to reproduce ?

Thanks,
Glenn

Hi Leo,

it is mounted in the bracket on the side of the chassis (the one with all the holes in it).



You can barely see it in the picture, but hopefully it helps ! :wink:

Best regards,

Hi Tony,

you could also try http://www.restorationspecialties.com/

It's possible that Jaap bought all their stock, but I'm not sure.

Well, they are both cheaper than Beachwood ..... I also made an inquiry with them some time ago and they were talking $$$$ instead of cents .....

Good luck,
Glenn

Hi Guys, I just need to express the feeling I get while working on a GPA. Aaaaaaaaaaargh :twisted: it is a bit.. ! Besides from always climbing in and out, hanging over the edge ....... if you drop something it's lost ..... Therefore, the most usefull tool : http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d142/GP...

Hi guys,

is it neccesary to use a resistance before the fuel-gauge ?



Or is it just enough to just use a 12 Volt fuel sender ......

Thanks,
Glenn

Hi Tony,

sorry for the late reply, but i would also be interested in the firewall .... depending on price and delivery term. (I'm in the process of assembling the dashboard ..... :P )

Hi guys, Finallly i'm in the process of rebuilding my dashboard. So i was searching through my parts and found a box i bought many, many years ago in Beltring. It's a wiring and terminal kit for the GPA, but packed in a box for carburator parts. I thought you would be interested to see it, before it...

Hi Bob, Mithril, there is nobody saying that on these days everything changed .... I can imagine that it all went gradually ... On my GPA (dod 14 january 1943) the inspectionholes for extra lubrication are cut with a blowtorch :shock: They probably used-up all the old stock before the new batch with...
