Thank you Jsaylor. It looks like a likely solution

1915 Touring

The 15 has a steel round that fastens the rear of the top to the body. Anybody have an idea as to where to source the material?

Wanted to buy.

Couldn’t you post a note stating to move the brake lever the whole way forward and to then pull it back and watch the left peddle. When that peddle moves forward slightly, that’s neutral. Than pull the whole way back for the parking brake.

Has anyone done this and what is required? What are the benefits?

Does anyone know of anyone in South Central Pennsylvania that has a Stevens Tool that would rebuild my axle?

Looking for someone close to me with a Stevens Tool that can rebuild my 11 T front axle yoke. I’m located in the York, Lancaster, Hershey area of Pennsylvania.

Craig, If you have a 1.500 diameter crank journal and wire is .100, you turn the shaft down to 1.400. When you wrap the journal you end up at 1.600 prior to turning. You’re adding material to both sides of the journal,

I made an adapter to insert Heinze coils into the ECCT coil tester. I now need help in understanding how to adjust the Heinze coils.

[attachment=2] Anyone out there that can help? Don't know if the Kingston coils are physically the same as Heinze.

Awhile back a guy posted a period correct aftermarket hitch. Don’t remember the contact, but was advertised in the parts for sale forum.

Surprise, Surprise. My Jan-Feb arrived 1 day later. February the 18th. Wonder which USPS Distribution Center had these laying around.

Received my November-December issue today, February the 17th. Wondering when I’ll get January-February issue.

I would like a quart.
I sent an email with my phone no.

Say What? A 12 coupe with gas lights and an interior dome light. Just saying.
Keith,

What’s missing from this thread is how to dispose of your “favorite “ parts cleaner. This after it has taken on all the stuff you wanted removed.
Keith

Attached is a period correct after market T hitch. It attaches to the spring mount cross member with u-bolts.

As far as turnaround it’s best to call. Work level changes. I believe it normally runs 6 to 8 weeks, not counting shipping.
Keith

I really like the car, but I really like the relationship and support between you and your father. It’s pretty obvious you’re father did a great job raising a good son.

Other than DICKDOCK throwing stones without any supporting substantiation this thread has turned into a glowing endorsement of the quality coming from Stutzman. Besides the quality and fair prices one also needs to consider the turnaround, with promises kept.
Keith

Thanks for your comments Jim. Tried the light bulb and still pulsating. I guess the brass antenna is to strong. I suppose I should consider it free energy and live with it.
Keith

Thanks Jim, I visually checked the speed of the Pulsations. As best I could tell they did change with speed. My wiring runs thru the 1/4” ID gas hose to 1/4 OD by 3/16 ID brass tubing used by the acetylene system. Makes a clean and neat system, but one with limited room. Would the brass tubing magni...

I recently changed my acetylene head lights, in my 11 T, to LED lights based on an article in the Jan/Feb Horseless Carriage GAZETTE. Using the 3500K 6 watt COB bulbs I was very happy with the results. The light color is comparable to the gas lights. I didn't notice it at the time, but with the ligh...

For East of the Mississippi, Stutzman has the best turn around and qualify second to none.

Nachi is the better source. There is no guarantee that US named companies are selling US made product.

What’s up with the extraordinary number of deleted post?
Keith,

I’ve been a newby in the past. Newby’s don’t have the connections to make the great buys. They don’t have friends to help them purchase a good deal. We should celebrate someone coming into the hobby rather than trashing them for paying more than we would. Just my thoughts.
Keith

Any man has the right to choose his destiny. We or BIG BROTHER do not.

Beautiful Car. But I would be interested in it’s history? That would be every bit, if not more, intriguing.

Horrible Freight sells red airline hose. 5' for $5.69. It's their item # 98944. 1/4 inch ID. and 1/2" OD. You can remove the ink lettering with acetone. The package is called Swivel Whip Hose. Used it on my Torpedo and it looks great.

Can guests access the profile link?

Looks like a 1911 Torpedo.
Keith

Thanks Mark and Susanne.

Bump for help.

Yes Terry, That is my question. Is the plug with the ceramic.285 thousands down inside the base with more electrode exposed a different heat range than the one that the ceramic is only .105 thousands down and less electrode exposed?
Keith

I have two different styles of Champion X spark plugs. The style that appears to be of older vintage has the ceramic .285 below the face. The other is only .105. Would these be two different heat ranges?

Does anyone know if Ron Paterson, the coil guy, has a space at Hershey?
Keith

Does anyone know Ron Patterson’s flea market spot?

I’m working with a 11 Torpedo. No place for a acetylene tank. Would need to use a Carbide Generator.
Keith

Am considering doing this. Anyone having done this that would share your knowledge. Seems to be a lot of info on doing this with the later electric headlights but I can’t find anything on the forum for gas headlights.
Keith

Thanks Terry,
I sent two emails to the contact link on the WEB site. No response so far. I appreciate your checking into other options.
Keith,

Thanks Erik. I have sent an email to them.

Bump for knowledge. Aren’t there any options for restoration of a Rushmore?
Keith

Does anyone know of a source for replacement mirrors for a Rushmore Searchlight? Appropriate 7” diameter.
