Repro 1908 three digit Ohio Plate in excellent condition. This is a high quality reproduction except original plates were porcelain coated not painted . 08 and 09 Ohio plates did not display the date and were identical except that 09 calendar year numbers started in the 11,000 range. $125.00.

I'm searching for a 1916 Couplet Build Sheet that is Mid to late July. I have sent an Email to Benson Ford per this request, but am curious whether MTFCA, may have a specific BFA resource to make this request to. Does someone have such a contact who I could reach out to?
Regards, Scott

Scott Rosenthal

Thanks for this feedback gentlemen. The tubes sought are the current early brass stem style vs rubber. Was not aware that the current stems are not OEM correct?..I'm 4 restored cars into hearing this....but truly not surprised. Also aware that there are at least 2 different brass stem styles out the...

Scott Rosenthal

Should clarify...ordering these is not the problem...laying my hands on the parts is the issue

Scott Rosenthal

Hi Chad;
No these are not available from any current vendor. Got 2 of these you would be willing to sell?
Scott

Scott Rosenthal

Very common 30 x 3.5 brass stem innertubes must be extremely difficult to manufacture (Not)? Done two early I projects in the last two years when this same common wear item could not be readily sourced. So allegedly these shipped items cannot be pinpointed with a tracking number (as vendor claims)? ...

Scott Rosenthal

I installed a red rubber gasket sheet per the base, to protect running board finish. Three bolt Brown generator bosses otherwise contact the board outer raised edges. Im sure this is not original, but you have to go looking for it, so not so butt ugly.

Thx Darel.

Would be curious to know who produced these...one mfr? 100 years ago we had Lunkeheimer and Powel Valve here in Cinti. May not be either, but would be interesting study.

My 12 REO has similar look, similar application, but with 1/4 NPT thread. Unfortunately no mfr name or hallmarks.

Scott Rosenthal

No you don't still have them?

Scott Rosenthal

BTTT. Submitted for consideration by MTFCA please. This proposed seller stipulation protects buyers while offending no honest person, and notably costs nobody a dime.
Thx
Scott

Scott Rosenthal

Correction Steven, I made no such offer to you. You were told this sale would absolutely not exceed a specified amount, and that any offer would only follow my review of your project in person. That you did in fact agree to these terms was basis for that continued discussion. I apologize for going o...

Scott Rosenthal

Question was whether MTFCA Classifieds should mandate no ambiguous title statement policy the way Ebay does. To be clear, a non notarized title or notarized other than seller's name requires Bill of Sale. Real simple policy that protects not only the parties but also MTFCA. No intrusion or cost on a...

Scott Rosenthal

Not saying a bill of sale is a problem buying or selling, unless its not disclosed front and center in the ad. Otherwise smells like a bait and switch.

Scott Rosenthal

Here we go again with a car advertised here, only to learn after 15 minutes of discussion with the seller, that owner does not possess a negotiable title. I propose that this Forum decisively state that this declaration appear in the first sentence of all auto sale ads posted here that do not. Fello...

Scott Rosenthal

Still gotem? I'll take the one with the T shape handle.

Scott Rosenthal

Hi Greg: If you intend to drive this car, the later 5:1 steering is recommended. A 26/27 complete column is inexpensive, where this provides you with the 5:1 gears and the upper steering shaft parts. Any non 26/27 lower shaft is easily attached first with all thread, then welded and ground to the cl...

Scott Rosenthal

Hi Greg:
See my PM response. If this is to be a driver, a 5:1 ratio shaft is a safety must have. Cost is likely less than an original, and is a fully invisible retrofit.

Scott

Scott Rosenthal

Many thanks Keith.

Still needing these smooth white 30 x 3 tires gentlemen. These are needed for an early project belonging to a long time (60 plus years), highly regarded member and early parts supplier/manufacturer.
Scott

Scott Rosenthal

Hi Keith:
Many thanks if you could please post more views of the body. Good friend is restoring a 16, and would be grateful for especially views of this top.
Rehards,

Scott Rosenthal

Assuming someone actually bought this for the 36K price shown, this auction house and this seller may have defrauded.

Scott Rosenthal

BTT. Urgently needing at least (2) of these 30 x 3 smooth white front tires. New would be ideal...lightly used will work. Thanks Scott

Scott Rosenthal

Rec'd call from 510 671-4663, with some of these parts for cheap...voicw 9sounds like middle age guy. Wanted check sent to PO box, could not or would not provide regular mail or Email address. Apologies if just honest circumstances, Mr. J. Jones, but BS meter blinking at this end.

Anyone else have one of these dash mount brackets they might part with?

Got your note Tom...many thanks.

Hi Tom..
Would you happen to know who produced the new mounting bracket?

Scott Rosenthal

Anyone have one of this style dash mount bracket? Apologies to hitchhike your advert Layden. Had heard someone reproduced these at some point...hoping I can locate original or repro.

Scott Rosenthal

Good question since Ford horns and lamps had begun to transition to Black and Brass by mid 1912. Does this mean that Black generators were also being furnished at this time?

Scott Rosenthal

I'm needing to confirm length of the 1911 standard steering column housing. Measured from TDC of the lower brazed on cuff highest elevation, to the lower surface edge of the brass quadrant. One I have measures 21.5" for this dimension. The very early 1912 column should also have this same housing. R...

Scott Rosenthal

Many thanks Rich and Keith. Mine is very close if not identical in appearance to Rich's. A distunguishing feature is the clarity of the cast script. Notice this feature did not pull clean from the cast for whatever reason. No idea what performance is owing to this head since my 1912 engine also runs...

Scott Rosenthal

Mine has the Ford script between "Made in USA". Candy told me at the time that Ralph was in negotiation with Ford over a licensing fee which was being demanded, this after the head was already in production. The part.cost was going to rise appreciably because of the script, so was likely.to be remov...

Scott Rosenthal

What are the differences among the Ralph Reeder aluminum high compression low heads? I've seen the compression ratios for this head described as both 6:1 and also 8:1? There are apparently also physical differences, where a current photo shown on the Classifieds bares no Ford script, and does not sh...

Scott Rosenthal

WTB 1911 or early 1912 steering column housing, as was used with 2 piece dash. Can potentially still use if damaged, but must have correct 4 mounting hole pattern. 513 three seven eight 4235.

Scott Rosenthal

Have open tandem axel aluminum FS. Reasonable, located in Cinti Ohio. 513 three seven eight 4235.

Scott Rosenthal

Thanks Mike. Any chance someone out there may be able to post a photo of the Torpedo Saxon horn stamped script?

Scott Rosenthal

I have seen known original 12's and 13's with seemingly original brass lamps that are partially painted brass especially 13's with Brown 110 and 105 oil lamps. Like many other Model T components, transitions exhausted usable supplier inventories before full new part roll out.

Scott Rosenthal

WTB Restorable 1911 standard steering column housing. Has0 4 round symetric dash mounting holes, not square holes. Prefer just the housing, but will purchase other steering parts if required. Scott 513 three seven eight 4235.

Scott Rosenthal

Hi Jeff: Go to YOUTUBE BENT AXLE CORRECTION AND REPAIR. Curious whether this fix could fit your application.
Scott

Scott Rosenthal

That's going to be a tough one Serge. Fortunately others have converted the 13 to a single piece pan using a welded in repro panel. If the OEM pan cannot be had, perhaps this is a viable option.

Scott Rosenthal

A fabulous show with excellent weather to boot. Special thanks to the Early Ford group for their stellar presentation. Seeing the early cars starting and running was a treat. The car show has been a solid crowd pleaser since the Homecoming inception, and has become a better attraction with each pass...

Scott Rosenthal

FS double twist brass horns(2). Both pristine show pieces. One marked Nonperiel 800.00. Other has no markings 700.00. 513 three seven eight 4325.

Scott Rosenthal

Pretty sure that all clamshell housings use 6 fine thread castle nuts. Most 6 stud torque tubes have the nuts secured with a wire, but the no-rivet housings used individual cotter pins for some duration.

Scott Rosenthal

This is disgraceful. An apology is overdue.

Scott Rosenthal

White floor mat showed up yesterday....thanks MTFCA and thanks again Gary. This is a repro with slight yellowing patina...exactly what I was looking for.

Scott Rosenthal

Thanks Mike. Are there differences between the early and later dashboard? I am assuming that the later dash had the lesser steering column angle, where this column mount has eccentric 4 bolt mounting.

Scott Rosenthal

Buggy rail, standard equipment or purchased as accessory with optional top?
Carbide line, standard equipment or to be purchased and installed along with optional headlights? My 09 build sheet shows a generator was purchased but no mention of the gas line or headlamps.

Scott Rosenthal

Help me out here Mike....what defines the early Delivery body?

Scott Rosenthal

Early photos show Base Model Touring likely came without a buggy rail. Hard to tell in those photos whether the carbide gas line was a standard hardware item. Any early enthusiasts care to opine as to whether, and why or why not?

Scott Rosenthal

Face of the backing plate should be planar with itself. If not then I would conclude the backing plate is bent inward at its top. Any number of shop applications can be employed to correct this..myself, I would first attempt bending it cold with a large Cresent wrench, or Johnson Bar of your own cre...

Scott Rosenthal

That round base was used on latter 12 also, if not mistaken.

Scott Rosenthal

My understanding from a very reliable source is that the white mat mfr. is presently sampling a new rubber formulation, and will then determine whether to make them based on committed volume. I will purchase 6 of them.

Scott Rosenthal

A side note related to the current Black mat....have others noticed the cutout for the brake is not proper length to match the brass floorplate...looks maybe 1/2 inch short. I know...petty detail, but maybe worth looking at if the tooling is unintentionally off, and is practically correctable.

Scott Rosenthal

Pardon redundance...is the tooling for the current Black mat different for some reason, and if not an obstacle, then why not present a quantity of committed buyers to the current manufacturer? Curious who RV was working with, and whether mold design issues were part of that discussion. A known featu...

Scott Rosenthal

I doubt those bolts and nuts were specialty engineered. Ford did not create drawings for common mechanical hardware.

Scott Rosenthal

Sold ...thanks Rich and thx MTFCA.

Scott Rosenthal

Perhaps some more noise gets attention of supplier(s)...keep it coming.

Not at all knocking the good folks who make this stuff... they need to know quantities of buyers are out there. I assume tooling for the white mats is same as the black...maybe someone can confirm this?

Scott Rosenthal

Thx Mike...glad to have located one. I have a couple of Buds who have new ones, who are sitting on them, in case production does not resume. I should think there is a healthy market for these white jobs, since 6 model years used them.

Genuinely sorry to learn this did not sell. Lot of challenges here, but would not be the first time when some determined enthusiast took charge...nothing showing in the photos that cannot be restored. Somebody with the capital and the stones will eventually take this on.

Contemporary photos including Bruce's Black Book show acetylene hose clamps for headlamps. Curious if confirmable data supports that there were not.

Castings are no big deal. These would need to be drilled, and then ground and then polished. The level of work required could easily equal or exceed the modifications discussed here. Vendors could put this product out there, but assume these would short run batches, and therefore costly finished pro...

Scott Rosenthal

Thx Keith. Is there a Red hose resource preferred? Got some years ago,but hose looks pink? Color not a serious problem but rather like the Red.

Scott Rosenthal

Yep, that's that's the one Keith. Using a coil.spring to bend it vs. brake line bending tool. Pretty much same as Bruce's photo shows. Made the brakets some time.ago, so just about to solder it all up. Did you solder ferrules on your tube ends, and did you use hose clamps or not?
