JohnnyBuick

The rear fenders are they for a tourer or a commercial / hack type ? Repro ?

The black 1913 truck i finished 4 yrs ago.. The ex Pinno - Dobbins 1912 below that was a 2 yr build & race to make the car show in my town yesterday.. if i had another 2hrs i would of been able to fit the rear guards. Someone on this Planet had to give these the WoW factor. BOOM ! 👋 . . 🎤

JohnnyBuick

Point is.. its another brand choice other than blockley, custom or Hartford.

Online Coker show these tubes as their brand

You are all very lucky !!
I am getting quotes here in Australia for 1/4" $400-$700 to fit safety glass into my tourer brass windshield frame.
Auto glass fitters were on the high end where house safety glass fitters on the lower end. Not good !

I recall the 30x3.5 metal stem EEC brand tubes when i first purchsed them in 2009 along with my white tires from Wallace Wade in TX, were made in Vietnam & the 30x3 Universal brand metal stem tubes back then were made in Mexico..
I dont recall EEC making these tubes in the 30x3 size

JohnnyBuick

Thankyou to everyone ..i will fit & try them in near future & list the result...
I saw the Blockley type tube..its a shame they dont make the 30x3 size..

JohnnyBuick

The metal stem tubes u see here came in opaque cellophane type bag and are the EEC brand..
The Hartford ones come only as rubber stem not metal stem that i know of

JohnnyBuick

EEC type from Universals....

JohnnyBuick

Just got these new metal stem tubes in the mail ...

Like a bad Camel they Went from 2 humps to one hump overnite..
Will these conform to the tire evenly once fitted ?
Universal seem to say they will.. your thoughts ??

...Rippi'n & a tearing Biches

I just got these two 30x3 metal stem EEC tubes.. and the bag they came in have a browning residue.. No-way il be fitting these in my new white tires just yet..The only areas that stayed white on my previous whites was where the greasey rubber inner flaps folded up the inner edge of the tires bead..s...

Heres one or 2 examples...

The brass framing around the firewall comes in lengths with pre drilled holes from most vendors . With the thinner wrap material you can tuck it around the edges of firewall & the brass frame fits , hides & holds it in place .. With thicker wrap it wont fold over the edges & can bubble up & lift aro...

JohnnyBuick

Don, These days you need to think out of the box !... Dont be a Lemming !! I just stained my firewall few days ago in cedar on 1 side and on the otherside i went... gold baby !! Trust me the end result gets people crowding at the car shows , like bower birds they like shiney things ! Just Look at my...

I used to buy parts from them but Unfortunately their international online shipping quotes now are so over the top its a nitemare ! Would you pay $160 shipping for a set of small brass dash brackets & small windshield wiper ? .....Total madness & terror !!! Ive just spent nearly $1200 with 2 other v...

JohnnyBuick

Thanks for the replies.. the drive plate etc is loose fitting atm and clutch spring shown in pic is attached to an old trans im replacing but i will need that 4th main cap which attaches to the trans case end .. just wondering what size over it would need to be..the vendors sell different sizes .. h...

JohnnyBuick

Am i missing a 4th main bearing cap that inserts on clutch spring side of 4th main in pic below ? If so ..anyone got one to sell?

JohnnyBuick

When it comes to re-fitting the metal or copper head gasket do i need to apply any gasket sealant or is it ok to go dry ?

JohnnyBuick

Beautiful ! ..Thanks Kerry, and to everyone..!
Appreciate it.

JohnnyBuick

The high head looks to have slight deeper chamber compared to low chamber head pictured darker on the right..the low head chamber also has raised rings where spark plugs come thru ..it could be a problem there..the high head dont have these raised rings . I will use clay to ensure clearance. Also th...

I just found this in the 2009 forum.. By Steve on Friday, October 16, 2009 - 09:55 pm: I asked this same question a while back. 99% of the responders reccomended the stock (flat) pistons and then go with the high comp. head. You can not install a H.C. head with domed pistons. I went this route, and ...

JohnnyBuick

I pulled off the high head on my 1912 engine today and i noticed the engine is fitted with fully domed piston heads .
The domed pistons run approx 1/2 inch above the block deck. If i was to change to a low head could it become a mechanical catastrophe ?

JohnnyBuick

Blimey

..its like the bargain Tables for womens bras at walmart..

JohnnyBuick

This is a great idea.. please send pics thru of those sites with T treasures & if possible the sellers/ vendors contact details so we can make inquiries & purchases from this site...

JohnnyBuick

Jimmy Dean had style ! And one of the very first trendsetter's ..if he did use it for a spitoon he did so to put across to the film crew that everything
on that car leaked including the horn ..

JohnnyBuick

So many T lovers out there assuming they have a 1913 All bcos they have a 13 chassis or diff or windscreen wiper ! From what ive seen ..7 out of 10 are not genuine ! ..lets get real ! your engine # & running gear is key to exactly what year type is getting you from A to B ! We can all have a 1 off m...

I noticed that pic of your white tire where the woven bead is discoloured from the rest of the outer smoother surface of your tire..i believe this is quite normal being that it is the tires woven inner base with its rough texture..& it looks like further applications of white rubber were laid over t...

JohnnyBuick

Yes..i was one of the few experimenting this blooming syndrome re: white tires from wayback .. i still believe the problem is not with the inner tube but the formula used in the tire factory during making the rubber compounds..our forefathers got the formula right back in the day & somewhere along t...

JohnnyBuick

Definitely an administration error on the title.. Sure,, who wouldnt want their 1918 to miraculously suddenly become a 1913 & boast "my automobile now is older than dirt" ..honestly I would find a typewriter of similar script to the title you have ..and change that dirty little 3 into an 8 !! Then E...
