Happy and healthy Thanksgiving to everyone!

There was a time when kerosene was cheap and plentiful. It works well for parts cleaning but now is pretty expensive. Nowadays gas or lacquer thinner works well and is cheap. BUT be careful! If your a smoker don’t smoke around it! None of that round here John. I don't want to be the next Cousin Edd...

One is desirable (the low head), the other you donate keep in a jon boat as an anchor. The low head gives more compression... the amount, someone else with more expertise may be able to answer that. The noticeable difference is the water neck is taller. If you don't have much experience, the noticea...

Just getting a pulse on what the top parts cleaner is out there and where to purchase. I've been using Mineral Spirits and have no complaints. A parts solution from TSC has some great reviews.

I've a '72 Road Runner that I need to get painted. The two painters I've used in Elizabethtown KY are permanently finished due to health factors.

Thanks Bob!

csnailnrun

Looking for two please.

csnailnrun

We will miss all you, and the gang, immensely. God Bless and be healthy Bob.

The facebook "model t cars and parts for sale" has a large ruckstell for sale. Charleston WV.

csnailnrun

What size valve stem Mark?

csnailnrun

I can do that. Send it to Nashville Walt.

csnailnrun

Huge help again to Dan! Thank you.

csnailnrun

I don't want to get buried! haha

csnailnrun

Who has some knowledge about these and how they are mounted? To state the obvious, It looks like I have two front and one rear.

These were soaked in EvapoRust for 24hrs. I didn’t take a before picture but impressive to say the least.

csnailnrun

235 is the half Length valve cover. I cannot speak to if the heads are the same.

csnailnrun

I wish I would have made an offer and bought the C35 Rajo next to where Dennis was set up.

csnailnrun

I picked these up from Dennis here at Luray. We’re curious of what exactly these are.

csnailnrun

If anyone here has a 30x3.5 clincher I need one more to get my set of steel Hayes back on the road

csnailnrun

To clarify, 30 x 3.5 clinchers are what I’m looking for.

csnailnrun

I can pick up at Luray. I am needing four total. Good shape only. Thank you.

csnailnrun

Morning Mike. Please see my email.

csnailnrun

Email sent to you Mike.

csnailnrun

Sent you an email.

csnailnrun

I’ll take the intake Gene. Sent you a text. Thanks!

csnailnrun

My mistake. This is one perch. I thought it was a pair. Still available.

csnailnrun

I’ll take it Jay. Thanks.

csnailnrun

Can you upload a closer pic of the threads? The right perch looks as if the lower shank is smashed.

csnailnrun

Yes! Yes! Yes!

csnailnrun

Thank you for your input Dan. I'll looking for the clinchers you recommend and hope for a happy marriage!

csnailnrun

Hump day bump!

csnailnrun

Anyone running a set of these or know the appropiate lugs and rims?

csnailnrun

I'm not sure if I have a standard Hayes 23". Would you mind sharing a photo?

Howard, I assume the front hub is the T hubs right? I started to slide slide a refurbished one in but backed off to not scratch either as I was not ready to bolt everything up.

csnailnrun

Thanks Mark! Just imagine the cool factor increase once they are mounted

csnailnrun

I picked a pair of these up at an auction several years ago. I've since blasted, primed, and painted. Ideally I'd like to find two more to make a full set, but first I need to learn what type of rim and lugs are required. Save yourselves a lot of typing... Pictures is a thousand words

csnailnrun

Shucks. The Snail would have been perfect for me!

csnailnrun

Sent you an email

csnailnrun

That's cool you've opened your farm up for a pre-war swap meet. I wonder how far people will come to get their swap meet fix?
I may have to reschedule a home closing date to get the fix myself! haha

csnailnrun

I’ll take it Mark

csnailnrun

I'll take the two front's.

csnailnrun

I hope the buyers of Hanks engines have equally as stunning car for them to go into.

csnailnrun

I need two of these to finish my T. I've two in the rear; just need a set for the front.

csnailnrun

Thanks Hank!

I call it a horn bolt but these are to mount the horn to the bell.

csnailnrun

Yup. I went out for a ride this past weekend and lost three of these lil guys. Does anyone have a few (3) laying around in their junk bolts drawer?

Measurements are:

.463 long
.382 head width
~ 7/32 bolt width
.236 carriage square width

csnailnrun

Thank you Duane. I've sent you an e-mail.

csnailnrun

I need 6 of these.

Bump again. Please help so I can stop bumping

csnailnrun

The piece Tim posted is very handing. Simple to instal and convenient operate!

csnailnrun

You sent the email to the wrong person Stan! Haha

csnailnrun

I’ll take your SB4.
I’ve sent you an email directly.

Bob sold this trailer on eBay a while ago and I regret not going for it myself. It'd like to find a simple T trailer myself if anyone has one to get rid of.

I need a planitor shifter if anyone has a spare as well. Thanks!

csnailnrun

Still on the look

csnailnrun

For the rear too I must add. Not sure if blanks/generics were offered of this style, but those will work too if so.

csnailnrun

Hope to find someone who has six of these laying around to help me out. Thanks for looking!

csnailnrun

The "cold" in the south doesn't work well. Mid January and still no snow!

csnailnrun

I bought this from Bill Houston 2 yrs ago. Looking at it makes me sick that the dumb bolt was left in the packing peanuts and broke it. I believe
Fred or someone hand painted it themselves.

Glass globes for fuel pumps.

I'm in Nashville looking for a glass globe repairman. I was pouring packing peanuts over a glass globe I've had in a box for two years and a T part poured over on the globe and broke it. I should have left the damn thing unpacked being it's been safe for the past two years that way! There are a few ...

I’ll take the two front doubles Dan if both bolt holes are in good condition.

csnailnrun

Ditto on the email Tony.

csnailnrun

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the straight shift handle is Under/Direct whereas the dog leg shifter will have all three gear options.

I'm also looking for the brass cap nut over the float needle.

I've read many articles and posts on varying preferred methods of balancing the wheels all to get a smooth ride.

I spoke with technician Dave at SEM. FANTASTIC HELPER FYI!

I knew my expectations weren't unreal... just ...

csnailnrun

My expectations may be too high but folks have spoke highly of the product. To me, it's not too much to expect for a light contact with a fingernail to scratch off the paint. The paint has now been applied for four days now and still subject to the paint removal by light scratching.

csnailnrun

I've completed several pieces of plastic to be painted black from original white. I am concerned the paint is poor quality and subject to scratching easily. I'm working on m...

I’m looking for two bolts for the front of this spring accessory. This is bolt replaces the standard perch bolt which must be 5/8 longer. Same diameter of course. Any ideas of where to get a proper fitting bolt? No luck at Fastnal. Maybe someone has the correct bolts for this? Thanks!

After reading my initial post, it’s confirmation I can’t watch the football game and type a full thought at the same time

What I was trying to ask was the measurable effects on cooling the coolant further with the finned aluminum pipe (or straight and cheaper aluminum pipe) vs my rubber flex hose.

csnailnrun

Is there measureable difference for those using the finned aluminum pipe (or cheap no finned pipe)? I assume there is when using a steal pipe depending on flow of coolant on a non-water pump T. Im using a rubber flex pipe and I’m not concerned with imagine for this hodge podge truck. Just functional...

csnailnrun

Dan, would zip tying my Peerless to the T hub accomplish that of a lathe? Clearly a lot slower rotation which may be the required case.

csnailnrun

The glass tube isn't broken. I'll try the options y'all suggested to get the mercury back to the bottom as it should be.
It is a Peerless. I assume the tubes are universal?

csnailnrun

Great feedback everyone.
My large motometer thermo tube is broken. the red (mercury?) fluid is, and has been since I bought it years ago, at the top of the tube. Now that I have the engine built and running, I'd like to have a working meter.
