Re: Anyone had a Spring break at the centre bolt?
When I rebuilt my springs both front and rear had one spring each broken at the center bolt. Welded them up good as new.

1916 brass radiator, what other years will it fit?
I have 2 spare old brass radiators (both leak) that came with my 1916 Runabout and a fellow wants them, but what other years will it fit? I think 1915 but unsure before that. Could not find it on the MTFCA facts page.
Thank you,
Mike Royster

Re: To coat or not to coat?
I've used Kwik Poly for years on car gas tanks and hit and miss engine tanks with great results. I get my tank clean first then dry it, and once your pour the 2 part epoxy in you have to start spinning it immediately as it sets up in minutes. It's great stuff!

Re: ...Bad Ford-BAD FORD!!!!!
If you decide to do it yourself I can tell you I have had great success with gas tanks from cars and hit-and-miss engines by doing the following. 1. Wash the gas tank out thoroughly. 2. Fill the tanks with distilled white vinegar and let it sit. Over a period of days all the rust will be cut loose. ...

Re: Stevens axle reamer
I sincerely appreciate all the replies. Not only are the spindle bolts and bushings shot, but the holes in the axle yokes are actually elongated and therefore need to be reamed and bushed as well. I would not feel comfortable with new spindle bushings and bolts without addressing the worn out axle y...

Stevens axle reamer
Does the Model T Ford Museum loan tools to members? The front end of my 1916 Runabout is worn out and I need a Stevens axle reamer to complete the job. Don't really want to spend $800.00 for the one on Ebay for a one time job. Any help or suggestions is appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

Re: New Leaf Springs Question
George, good catch. I did not even notice his was a 27!
Anybody got a 16 spring they don't need? Or know where I can get one?
Thanks,

Re: New Leaf Springs Question
Raymond:
If you end up buying new springs I would like one of your rear leaf springs, just one. I am rebuilding the rear end on my 1916 Runabout and found the 3rd spring from the bottom is broken through the center bolt. I'd be happy to purchase one.
Thanks,
Mike

When installing the battery I make a make 2 intersecting loops (one from each direction) out of 3/8" nylon rope. Easy to lift in and out.

Re: So tell me why I should buy a model T?
Well, if you get a T you better be a friendly type person. Everybody waves, they hang out their windows to take pictures, the Google Earth guy stopped me and of course I gave him a ride. I have a 1916 Runabout and have enjoyed every minute in it. It is extremely reliable and so much fun to drive. As...

Re: free starts
I found Russ's comment true for my 16 as well. Free starts were common to me until I did a valve and ring job on the engine. Never since!

Re: What have you done on/with/to your T in febuary?
John: Steve is right about cleaning your tank. If it's easy to take off the car that's great, but if not you can wash it out with water and a pressure nozzle on your hose. Then put a plug in it and pour in ten gallons of distilled white vinegar and let it sit for a week. Check on it from time to tim...
