Rob - did you ever locate a front plate ? I'm helping an old timer sell off some T parts & he has one on the bench - I'd have to go look at it again to see if the bellcrank is on it - no distributor that I know of.

Just hit the big 70 - same day as Neal W. !

Sure are !

Louvers seem to be headed the wrong direction for horn announcement ?

He stated "electric" - not magneto ? Klaxon is a name brand - did you mean to state "ahooga" ?

He's still on the planet ! Just received some info - thanks all.

Does anyone here have a current contact email for John that they can send me off Forum ? Thanks !

Early firewall brackets spoken for - thanks MTFCA !

Sorry - brakes were spoken for last night.

Sale pending - thanks Bill & MTFCA !

Here's a full set of Hassler shocks. Springs have been powder coated as well as a front set of spring holders & a pair of later style rear holders - I'll include the earlier rear cast holders - no charge. Rear arms have new Ford sized bushings installed. $250.00 for all the pieces - the trip will be...

I believe that's a battery terminal puller.

Jack - can you photo the head lamp mounting area - I have several versions ! I can put it in a mailing tube ?

I have a pile of them, Jack - shipping could be an issue ?

Those are '26 - '27 cowl tank brackets, David.

I have a bunch Richard BUT awkward & bulky to ship !

Yes, they work forward & reverse & no, they're for a large drum rear end. No pedal - it went with the other set last year. I have a Bennett pedal for both narrow (like new) & a wide - '26 - '27 with a little wear.

All '26 - '27 top irons, both Touring & Runabout have a slight curve where they attach to the body iron - '25 & earlier are straight at the attachment point.

I have several sets - send me a note.

Found a nice original set of early firewall brackets - I'd take $75 for the pair & split the shipping. Pikes Peak large drum brakes still available - price out repro Rocky Mtn. & see what the better deal is ! $500 + the ride now. Drop me a note through the Forum, please.

Got my new parts from Greg a week ago - 2400 miles between us & the cone block's 1/4" dowels went in perfectly and I hand installed all 4 original bolts ! You'd be hard pressed find any better parts than these !!!

Fender irons headed to a new garage - thanks MTFCA !

If Mark can't provide, I have some.

BTT - make me an offer on the Pikes Peaks - rear irons still here, too.

Ac brakes headed to a new garage - thanks MTFCA !

How's about $500 on the Pikes Peak & I cover the shipping ?

Sent you an email, Mark.

Stewart gears spoken for - thanks MTFCA !

Found more treasure cleaning out the container - original Pikes Peak large drum brakes - $600 + the ride - might have the original pedal somewhere, original AC small drum brakes - $400 + the ride, rear fender irons - coupe & runabout - straight - $75 + the ride, assorted speedometer gears - Stewart ...

Thanks - I'll get some parts out tomorrow.

Mark - can you verify the "P-84" Ruckstell number - I can't find it in the books ?

Perfect area where "the correct tool does the job" !

Had a customer do .100 over on the block - it was O.K. but the pistons hit the cylinder head in several spots !

I believe that was Jack Putnam.

I believe that was Tom Carnegie's design.

Dan posted the above info of the Florida fella - he shows new 21" split rims for Fords !

Whichever is the most comfortable for oneself. Tom Carnegie from the Spokane, WA Club made a dandy L.H. Ruckstell conversion from an extra, stock H.B. assembly & some steel plates - something along John's description.

Not really, John - that's your opinion. My three shifters are original - Racer has the only foot-feed.

'25 door hinges are equal length - earlier cars, the bottom hinge sticks out considerably. A true '25 has a single back light.

All items on this ad are sold & headed to new homes - thanks for asking !

I'll take the narrow ones, bill.

Amen to that, Steve ! I had the pleasure of meeting & touring with Norm - truly a gentleman.

No worries - just had my right one done a week ago !

Model T engines don't leave a ridge as the piston goes to the top of the cylinder.

Yes, factory '24 - '25 Covered Express - my Gramps' is near exactly the same.

The spare cover on #1 appears to state "Service That Sells" - proprietor's name on bottom - maybe ?

I would have to assume it is NOT, or would have to wonder why go to the expense & trouble to have it repaired.

I've use Belzona epoxy on T bock exhaust seats with reasonable results - it is an expensive 2 part epoxy that is machinable once cured - something to consider. Early, useable exhaust manifolds are few & far between !

It's a tail lamp bracket for a 1915 Runabout. The license bracket was a separate piece with a stud.

My wife helped me with her phone - I'm technically challenged & then some ! Just came back on tonight - been down for 3 days !

Sorry fellas internet has taken a dump!

Points spoken for - thanks MTFCA !

I'll measure mine this afternoon.

I'll check - I might have another.

I have a set of 4 new KW points available - photo coming later today - $65 includes Priority Mail in the U.S. Drop me a note through the Forum, please.

For reference, most likely !

You can buy direct from Coker, Universal (I believe owned by Coker) or Lucas in California.

The composite material is quite thicker than a stock Ford disc - you only use a limited number of material discs.

The shifter needs to be in the "low" position when engaging the inner differential, as the sliding clutch should be fully engaged when installing the shifter to the housing.

BTT - open to offers on the brass wire caps.

'15 - '17 dash switch for head lamps.

The early crank ratchet is spoken for - thanks MTFCA !

Hub caps spoken for - Thanks MTFCA ! Keep watching - I'm lightening the load !

Tire lock spoken for - thanks MTFCA ! Keep watching - I'm lightening the load !

Yes, they do Ed BUT, they are spoken for an hour ago.

Here's another goodie ! $75 includes Priority Mail in the U.S.

Don't you remember Leonard Nimoy ??????? In Search Of !

BTT - oil caps still available - open to offers.

BTT - hub caps still available - 5 are mint - 1 needs some love - be pretty cool for a speedster !

Murphys headed to a new home - thanks MTFCA !

"Leapin Lizard" comes to mind.

Was apparently an attempt for a drain - WIG ?

Good points ! I had some copper never-seize that had an expiration date - WTH ?

Switch headed to a new home - thanks MTFCA !

Switch & Rusco brakes are headed for new homes - thanks MTFCA !

There are 6 hub caps in the original box !

More stuff - make an offer ! The Hassler springs & cups are powder coated. One of the early oil caps appears to have been nickel plated ?

Starting to thin out the collection - some duplicates & now need new homes - I've been looking at this stuff for over 40 years ! Open to reasonable offers.

That's the lower cover - he's looking for the sump.

Parts spoken for - I'll get some photos of the Murphy fasteners later.

Hope the wife's Christmas ornaments aren't out there like my wife's are !!!

Anyone have any use for this stuff ? I'd take a reasonable offer. I also have a bunch of original Murphy fasteners !

Here's what I came up with my digital caliper - this bushing shows no signs of installation nor use.

flange width = 2.381
flange thickness = .109
inside flange face to bushing end = 1.420
body O.D = 1.190
body I.D. = .995

I only had 10 of the style on the right !

Perhaps the moderator would see fit to pull some of this content over to the discussion area - sorry for jumping in with comments !

No - just seems to be a good practice being how flimsy a T camshaft is.
Not that I perceived.
Anytime a bushing is installed as a "press fit", no matter what the material the bushing is made of, reaming is prudent.

I have a NOS one - be tomorrow before I get back out to the shop.

I've used mine on every engine out of my shop for the last 30 + years !

I also have a bunch of both - I'll check.

I'd venture to say they're for a C-Cab.

Thanks for the correction, Russ - I was under the impression that Stewart swivels were 2 & 1/2 to 1.

I believe that is a left hand drive & the ratio is 2 & 1/2 to 1.

The Stevens low drum bushing remover is in the center of Mark's tool set photo - the one with the "ribs". I have an original set & it makes removing that particular bushing a snap !

Hey there Bruce - I'll look through some of my earlier parts catalogs & see if any Float-A-Ford ads show an early front axle.

I have a box of NOS snaps, lift-a-dot & such - what's the backside look like ?

Did you look over at their website ? They spin out fancy cups from copper & brass !

Zoom in - appears to be Uncle Sam ?

Appears as though he shimmed up a few - I see a couple.

I only have one of the "T" style.

I see yours are more of a "T" - I'll look in my box !

I have these NOS - the arrow looks the same but with a short cut-out on each side ?

Using a micrometer, measure several of the rollers in several places at each end. One can visually see if any of the rollers has been "compressed", it will most often measure under the .498 - '499 - I have yet to locate a .500 roller !
