Jim, I restored that Hotshot years ago. I had Butch of Service Motors drill a tiny bleed hole in all four brake hose THREADS, so that you could easily loosen the brake hose connection to the caliper

Hey guys, I have disc brakes on my '50 Hotshot. Can someone tell me how to bleed them. There appears to be a grease nipple (Smaller) on the inboard side of the caliper. It has no means for loosening

Thanks Jim, a big help. I have not had these brakes since my '36 & '37 Fords. .....Jim.

If you're talking about the wedges you put in to balance the brakes, yes. The floating across bar moves as needed to equalize the braking pull, so as things stretch you don’t have to continuously

Guys, I just finished installing a complete cable brake system on my '47 PU.Do I remove the shims on the front cross bar, and let it float. ........Jim.

Wow ! I am honored to make Crosley of the month ! Thank you Sam Perley and Jim Bollman ! I enjoyed restoring the roller over the Winter. It really does a great job smoothing out the winter lumps

Hi Dennis, My 51 Supersport is pretty well org. I have attached photos of the door rubber at the back and bottom of my doors which I feel is original. Its the reg Crosley style weatherstrip as

That metal sill is 1 and 1/4 inch wide by 1/2 inch thick and 31 inches long. With 5 pan head inset bolts.

Dennis, it is a metal sill with inset screws. You could make them up out of stock aluminum bar stock from tractor supply.

Thanks! That is what I needed! Is that a piece of wood across the door sill? I would never have thought of that! Is it anything special? That will be an easier fix than I thought if indeed it is wood.

I hope this photo helps

Hi Jim: Mine has the bigger square doors and is the Super Sport model and not the hot shot . Your car is definitely looking great! Wish mine looked that good! Thanks for trying to help! Dennis

Dennis, I am new to Crosley, Here is my Hotshot. I hope this helps, I don't know if it is correct or not. ....Jim.
