Low speed band adjustment question
When adjusting the low speed band in order to achieve the desired 1 to 1 1/2” distance from the floorboards, should the emergency lever be fully back or fully forward or in the middle? I can never remember and the diagram that’s commonly used doesn’t state the position for adjusting the low band nut.

Re: Running board Spare tire carrier
Alan, in the first post you mention that the second strap holds the top of the tire against the bottom of the top bow, but in the second post the back strap is held by two footman loops attached to the crossmember of the tray? I’d be putting the cradle on the drivers side since the door doesn’t open...

Re: Running board Spare tire carrier
Allan, I like the simplicity of it, as well as not having to drill extra holes! Can you please send some detailed pictures of yours with the wheel and straps in place?

Re: Running board Spare tire carrier
Very interesting! But where do the two arms bolt to under the body?

Running board Spare tire carrier
Any ideas on how to make a running board spare tire carrier for a Demountable wheel? Any suggestions from those who have made one?

Re: Hub replacement
Thanks Tim, I was thinking that it was possible. I know I’ll have to buy new hub bolts and peen them over once installed as well.

Hub replacement
Dumb question: can the front wheel hub be replaced by simply unbolting it, popping it out and bolting a new one on? Spindles are all tight and sound.

Re: Wheel bearing race question
Thank you for all the responses; I’m always grateful for any help I can get with problems I’m not familiar with! I do have another option that may be easier? I have a full set of NOS ball races and bearings in excellent condition that I could use on the Demountable hubs, but first I would need to re...

Wheel bearing race question
If I want to switch from ball bearings to Timkens, do I need to remove the inner race that’s on the threaded spindle and if so, how?

WTB: brass radiator
I’m looking for a decent looking used brass radiator for a 1915/16 T. Prefer an original or older replacement that still looks good and holds water: usable as is.

WTB used touring top
Still looking for a decent used touring top for my 1916 T. My car has nice “age” to it, which is why I’m looking for a used top and not brand new.
