what hydraulic brakes do people use?

Looking for peoples' knowledge of original tire pumps for 1913 and 1921. Have they been documented anywhere?

Locally it seems that people don't want to sell a car to local people. Several times people who you thought were your friends, sell cars or collections off to people outside our local area. It's like our money isn't good enough for them. Okay, maybe it's sentimental, and they don't want to see someo...

Was / is there a repop bracket made like in Keith's picture? All I see is the kind with the round upright, which are, er, less than optimal. I made one like in Keith's picture and it works great. Seems like there would be a market for something more robust. I got one from RV that looked to be silver...

When I first had my 1913, 1995, I bought a Trailex open car trailer fabricated from Aluminum Extrusions. Four wheels, brakes all around. It served us well, we towed it with a Ford Aerostar van. Had tonneau cover, and removed the lights and covered the radiator. The arrangement worked well until my w...

Many years ago at Hershey, Russ Potter was selling R V mirrors that bolted to the windshield frame using TWO bolts of the windshield hinge. It has been on my '13 Touring since. It stays put, yes, it shakes, but so does everything else. Much less than the clamp style thou. THE BOLT LENGTH IS CRITICAL...

All brass or brass plated.

Finally showed up in Big Flats today, YEA! Eh Gil, you get yours?

At this point I'd guess my Vintage Ford Magazine has fallen into that great waste basket at the Post Office. How do I get a replacement?

No joy. 1/6 But some stuff they stored came. Big Flats NY

There have been a couple good articles on T oil cans. There was one in the "all the same huh? " section of the Judging Standards at one time, thou it's missing in the current, Rev. 6, edition. There was a excellent article in Vintage Ford as well. Is Vintage Ford available as a "stick" with all the ...

Big Flats Rivet Co sells brass rivets for steering boxes.

This is wonderful.

So the number on the block will be off from days to months from the day the car was actuality assembled. Seems the standard we've been using for years is seriously flawed. Is there any record of what numbers were allotted to which factories making engines or what numbered engines went to which assem...

I think most of the vendors use the first part of the Ford number followed by a letter or/and number for their own inventory purposes. There was a time when Ford (Motor Co.) claimed possession of the parts book numbers and vendors had to invent their own, but that seems to have been resolved. Likely...

Kim, Hopefully filling in some history of your B. From FJ’s post on Facebook. Talking with Wayland today on the phone ... This particular car might be the earliest recognized Ford in mostly original condition that came out of Ford’s first purpose built factory. Hap Tucker has been asked to help find...

This MAY be one.

Looking for a good picture or better yet a single or pair of Tee shaped closed car door handles used in 1921, between the bail handles and the "L" shaped ones. Thankyouverymuch!

Anybody ever RTV lenses into the rims. Got a beautiful Rim with bad clips.

I go to the classified when somebody mentions they have something for sale that interests me on this forum.

Never saw one like this, real?

There is a 1909 2 lever, #9110, right hand drive, in Albreta Canada, on ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1909-Ford-Model-T-Roadster-Runabout/153633880733. Is it real? The person that listed it doesn't seem to be a T person. I'm not an '09 expert but I'm sure there's one on board. Don't see it mentione...

All of a sudden you can't buy oils like Pennzoil 10W-30 It seems that oils were no longer adequate for engines with turbochargers, etc. so they have changed the spec and the only oils available are synthetic and rated for your turbocharger. None of my antiques have a turbocharger. But soon I guess I...

Ditto!

Art's company, Vintage Steam Products, now belongs to a couple in Dallas. I don't see the tubing on their website.

The other swap meet is in Strausburgh PA at the PA Railroad Museum, held in conjunction with the annual HCCA BBC tour.

I don't think warping is caused by the heat, rather by the peening action of the grains of blasting media. I have bead blasted too many chassis parts to count but I will not media blast sheet metal! Paint stripper, but that has its own problems healthwise.

Any records of these suppliers?
B92366 `1921 (?) Coupe

Who supplied centerdoor, Couplet, and coupe bodies?

Ron patterson you may get my core.

Underside of seat, tacks, no staples.

I have looked at many things on my 1921 coupe that make me think that it was a solid original car with not a lot of use when it was "restored" in the mid 1980's. It was carefully stored in 1987, and saw light of day next in November of 2018. One thing I wonder about is the upholstery on the seats an...

I've seen all kinds of records For Model Ts but I've never seen any way of determining which plant a specific serial number car came from. Is there any way to track this? I'm talking later cars not early brass ones.

I need to replace the tires on my 1921 Coupe as they are a bit hard and at least 32 years old. My intention with this car is that it be a reasonable runner not a show car but if I'm fixing something to upgrade it along the way. The demountable rims were painted silver when the car was restored in th...

Dental floss has many uses, that's a new one. Duly noted. Thankyouverymuch!

“The T” worked fine on the ‘13 until a ‘21 coupe entered the picture. So “the T” ‘s friend was named after a long loved golden retriever, named after a car, in the garage when the golden came home, Lizzie. Disney be d#$@d. Cars are not conciously named, they just come along.

Dan, I’ll buy your logic.

Replacing the starter. Was a bit taken back by round head screws used to mount the starter. Why? Bolts make more sense to me. This one is not a show car. Yea or nea?

Using those plastic clamps on a spring terrify me! The energy in that spring released in a millisecond can do serious damage. Use a real forged steel clamp, please
