Hi Steve, Yes and they were great to work with. They do not cast any aluminum parts.

Ed I believe you have it figured out. What a book!!!

Michael, Steve Tomaso may have an original you could buy.

There have been a couple of request for Roof 16 Valve B & BB Competition Exhaust Manifold. I don't have a price yet from the foundry but have contacted them and they will cast them. I'm hoping the cost will come in under $600 a pair machined. If you are interested or have questions, please contact m...

Good one Noel! Chris and whom ever else helps with keeping the forum going thank you for what you do. If people knew all the information that has been collected concerning them, many would probably quit using their computers. Just go through a TSA pre check or Nexus interview. It's is kind of unnerv...

I'm still looking for a couple of 30X3 1/2 Firestone demountable cincher rims. The pictures above label them as Type A, but believe they are actually Type F.

Keith the Pasco's, Dayton and Hayes wire wheels all sold. Some of the 26-27 wires sold, but they seemed to be everywhere. The Disteel and other disc wheels did not sell. The one set of Disteels has new rims done by John and Mark Mclaren a number of years ago. Sales were very good. My experience at t...

I'm bringing a pretty nice set of 5 Model T Pasco wheels with hubs and caps. Stan Howe had saved them for years for a speedster that did not get built. Two sets of 30X 3.5 Disteel disc wheels and hubs. One set has new rims that John McLaren put on for me. set of 21' Hayes wheels with hub caps Needle...

Hi Donnie,
Thank you. I will try and get a hold of Steve. I believe I have a copy of that catalog somewhere now that you brought that up.
Thank you, see in about a week and a half.
John

Admin your changes worked wonders.
Thank you,
John

Dan, Thank you, but what John has are actual sea lions. I'm looking for the other style pictured above that is kind of star shaped. John actually was kind enough to send me that picture as I wasn't sure what I needed, except that it was not the standard sea lions. Thank you for trying to steer me to...

I am looking for what would be called a Sea Lion with other style Rod Alignment Jigs. What I need is the star shaped piece (on the right side of the ad) that goes against the jig face when checking for bend or twist. Please respond by email through the forum or for06 five3nine 6oofor. I will be goin...

It been extremely slow for the last week, to the point it's almost worthless. My tech skills go down quickly after I get my computer turned on but I don't seem to be having any problems with other sites.
Thanks to ever has to figure this out.

This is a nice car. Call and make a reasonable offer.

More Pictures

This car belongs to an acquaintances of mine that inherited it from their father. I have not seen this car in person, nor heard it run. It is located in Kalispell, Montana and has been in good, clean, dry heated storage. The engine # 6142472(1922). I believe based on who the previous owner before Mi...

I received this as a text 3 weeks ago. This engine has been in my shop since last september on the same engine stand. We will have to start asking for pictures with a calendar or something next to the item to verify the person has it in their possession if you don't know them. The guy took the pictu...

I picked up another project. I think it's project #6093 on my list. The head is the first mystery I'm trying to solve so I thought I would post some pictures and see if anyone knows. It has been suggested that it was for a marine engine which could be possible but I believe this head was sold with a...

I happen to know where there are some Disteel wheels and hubs. Also brand new Whippet Radiator that really cools well.

Larry Sigworth thought this is probably an original Morten & Brett Radiator shell. Museum of American Speed has has a M&B Speedway which I looked over closely and took some measurements off of but it's been 15 or 16 years since I did that. It has a correct radiator shell, but I don't know if it's or...

This car has a copy of a Morton and Brett Radiator shell. Made by hand, copied from an original. They used Model T radiators with an extension of about 2.5" on the filler. I have what I believe is an original shell in my shop. I will try and post a picture tomorrow.

Hi Kim,
I need reflectors and complete burner assemblies for sure. I'm not sure what holds the reflators in place. I do have brass trim that that must go around the reflectors, maybe just behind them. this afternoon I will go out and and take a few measurements and pictures.
thank you,
John

I need most of the inside parts, burner assembly, reflectors, lenses and one good chimney for a pair Model 1106 Castle Lamp. :?: I'm not positive but am guessing most of the internal parts may be interchangeable with other model Castle & Castle Atwood lamps. Maybe someone who knows can comment on th...

George thank you. I know absolutely nothing about Castle Lamps and not that much about gas lamps in general. You are correct in that I am not going for a Stynoski Award. That's just not me. I would like to put the lights back together with original parts if possible. I don't need perfect but I do li...

Corey I'm not a photographer so don't take this as a criticism because it certainly is not meant that way. Can you change the lighting to see if you can get a picture with no shadow? I have no suggestions on how you do that.

Below are some pictures of a pair of Castle Model 1106 lamps off an old Model T speedster I'm working on. I'm not looking to restore them, but to get them functioning either as gas or electric headlight. The car is nice enough, at least for me, that I do not want to do a restoration, but preserve wh...

George thank you.

Guys, Thank you for the input. Richard the ads are great. I was thinking Montgomery Wards did not start marketing tires until the 1940's. Those ads kind of shattered that thought. Here is a picture of the tread on 3 of the tires.

Attached are pictures from the Gates Tire and the red tube in the first tire which han no patches on tit anywhere.

I looked more carefully at my tires today and found a little more info on them. All 4 are different but 3 are Riverside Balloon and one is a Gates Rubber Co. tire that is 30 X 3 1/2. Picture 1 is a Pat. Date on the tire I posted previously. Picture 2-5 are of AL83587 tire It says Riverside Oversize ...

I'm trying to date these Riverside Balloon tires. Any help would be appreciated.

Still Looking for sea lion / spider for my jig

Hi Trent,
Thanks, did not really know what that piece was called. I did see in some previous post the reference to sea lion but wasn't sure it was specific to the all models or the just the one with 4 contact points. The spider name came off the KRW tool site. I appreciate the info.

Looking for the piece that sits on the rod bushing pictured here. You can email, private message or call me. four 0 six 53nine 6oo4

I used a a 39 tooth ring gear with 12 tooth pinion, no special spacers. Ring gear came from one of the vendors. I have a Jumbo Planator under drive in front of it, works great.

Smith Brothers makes 1/4 " pushrods to your length specifications. They run $12-$15 a piece. I'm sure there are others that make them.

Once it get's sorted out a little on what needs to be done I'll decide on which way I'm going with the paint. John, it's titled as a 19 but I think...

Few more pictures

This is what I think of when someone says they have a barn find. There are two Model T's in building. It was a fun day last summer digging out both cars. It was the most mouse, bird and pack rat poop I have seen in years. Ton of parts, I number of which I still need to pick up. The car was disassemb...

Hi, this was great. I just caught the last 15-20 minutes because of other Easter things. I did my first zoom meeting last Friday and it was pretty amazing. The potential for this is huge.

It's a Model C

Dan Condor sold more stuff for me at Chickasha than I ever did. He is a great guy and I m...

So in looking at the chart that Tim posted is that saying that Red Brass and Phospher Bronze would be good choices for pins? I ask because I have 16 valve Roof heads that uses stock T valves but have heavier valve springs and a very high lift cams. I have not run these engines yet and have always th...

Hi Don, sent you an email. I would love to purchase those. I have NOS shocks but not the axle mounting hardware.

Looking forward to seeing everyone and all their treasures.

Bob your suspicions were correct. Sorry for the poor picture that posted upside down. It does right itself when clicked on. I started to take it out in the sunlight but after about 15 feet my back said something different.

18Z245N180

It is definitely a "C". No bump out on drivers side and oblong or rounded rectangle center port. As mentioned before the rockers are not correct, but that is not uncommon.

Larry was a great guy. He was an avid researcher on Speedsters and the early days of racing along with many other things. He restored two Paco speedsters that are great works of preservation. Larry spent hours helping me do some research on a speedster body, loaned me some stuff that was very rare w...

If you get a call from 707-210-2457 wanting to sell you the parts your looking for ask for pictures. I believe he was trying to scam me.

Joe sorry I didn't find any original stand in the parts I just got. RAJO shafts, rockers, bolts, a set of machined blocks that are stands but no originals.

Joe if you can't get that fixed I may have one and can check tomorrow, later afternoon.

Willie was a great guy and I missed not seeing him the last couple of years at Chickasha. We would go round and round on stuff and sometimes, eventually, even would work out some kind of deal.
Sympathies to the family.

We're at 4 below but a nice sunshiney day for a ride. My wife didn't think it was all that nice out and didn't come along, but my dog Buck was fine with it.

Hi Rob, Thanks this is always interesting stuff!

Don, it was reprinted in 2011 but I don't remember what day. I wanted to post it on the forum back then but was never able to resize it.

I agree with Tim, your suicide front end may truly be a suicide front end. Looks neat but I think you need some gussets or bracing of some type.
