I sent you an email, Larry - check your spam box !

Mark states the size in his ad !

I might add that I mount my linings to the bands then soak in an old Dutch oven - takes 1 gallon of oil but can do all 3 at the same time with small sticks holding them slightly apart - a couple days soaking then I hang them over the pot with sticks to drip off - still messy but not as messy as doin...

Spoken for - thanks MTFCA !

I use nylon zip ties to hold all together whilst replacing the cover - they USUALLY slip out from under the band ears but being nylon, if a small piece goes AWOL, it really can't damage anything.

Small drum brake rear spring bars both attach to the rear brake anchor bolt.

BTT - open to offers !

Seeing how the 2 rear mounting tabs utilize small bolts, it's most likely a set for a large drum set up - one has to drill out those 2 rivets from the large drum backing plate.

Available is an original set of Ford Improved Open Car side lamp brackets - I'll post a photo tomorrow - $100 postage paid in the U.S. Drop me a note through the forum, please.

I believe I have an extra, Kim - I'll send you a note.

Has your name on it, Ed - thanks MTFCA !

I believe this is NOS or an early take-off. I'd take $80 & I'll pick up the shipping in the U.S. Drop me a note through the Forum, please.

Original Aermore - T size - 1 &1/2" in & out - great condition - 1st $300 gets it & I'll pick up the shipping in the U.S. Drop me a note through the Forum, please.

Don't use a smart phone !

WTF is a "dark setting" ?????

Here - Here, Glen - hope for more to come !

I have several BUT shipping from Washington would nuts !

There were several accessory demountable wheel manufactures before Ford got into the game.

How many miles on the Kevlars ? Could be as simple as an adjustment.

The original Ford hand wiper came in two shaft lengths - open and closed cars.

I have some earlier - need an ammeter ?

Welcome to the madness ! Here's mine - Gramps bought it new in Seattle in '24. Use to take it camping with our 2 daughters when they were small.

Thanks for that information, James !

"15 - '16 caps headed to Art - wire caps still available - Thanks MTFCA !

That's unfortunate to hear but none of us are getting any younger ! My days of maintaining 15 acres is numbered !

He's working on wood felloe wheels, James - different animal !

Corey chimes in here once in a while.

I use my wife's electric glue gun !

I sent you a reply, Art.

Well, isn't Kevin just a "whiz-bang" !!!

Perhaps best to contact that State's DMV.

Corey Walker has done several brass Holley Gs for me and some for friends.

Brass wire caps still available - $100 + the ride - located a 4th '15-'16 cap for a set of 4 - $80 + the ride.

Do you run an air filter, Pat ?

Quite a simple task to remove the front wishbone - piece of wire, 2 cotter pins, 2-9/16" nuts & 2-15/16" or 1" nuts.

Unless you intend on "off-roading" on a dirt track or you live on a dusty dirt road, why bother ?

Wasn't aware of that - thanks Larry !

Asking price & actually getting price is quite subjective !

A true '25 box is a rare item especially one not made into a trailer & beat to s _ _ t ! I've sold a couple nice ones over the last 30 years and they were both very nice & got $4-5 hundred. What is really hard to locate are the peculiar fender iron mounts - the later touring is compatible, but the t...

That's sure as s_ _t what I would do !

Original, for sure ! Originals are 23 & 1/2" in length & stenciled. Same here - if they don't smell "musty", they're most likely fine for use - I prefer Scandinavia linings myself in my 4 Model Ts !

Appears to be the crankcase to me ?

What the heck on the front of # 7 ?

1915 w/brass rim headlamps & sidelamps.

The linings in the photo appear to be Montgomery Ward or similar type. They are also a bit on the thick side ! \

Some Ford steel bands HAVE raised bumps for the rivets - just so you know !

One needs to specifically view the LACK OFF lateral movement of the B.B. 4th main - it is secured to the transmission output shaft with 0 lateral. Ford designed lateral movement between the driven plate & clutch drum w/steel washers, which we all realize, when up to operating oil temperatures, some ...

Our "assistant" fearless leader Jeff S. is also in Idaho !

The "X" is most likely a foundry mark/designation. I'll send you a note.

Is the "X" steel or aluminum ? Copper clad gaskets were original - some of us still have a stash left !

BTT - open to offers !

I've found that the handles are not interchangeable.

Not a Ford part I've ever seen.

The repro rods are made long & you cut as needed - there is a small tension pin holding the knob on - remove, shorten rod as needed, re-drill for pin, re-install pin - all done.

Agreed - a photo would be helpful !

Spoken for - thanks MTFCA !

Sent you a reply, Gary.

The cowl line is "swept" back on the advertised body unlike the one in the photo - it's straight - not the same.

For point of clarity - there are tire flaps & there are rim strips - two separate items with two separate purposes !

BTT - open to offers.

I might have a new one left in stock - I'll check today.

Sale pending - thank MTFCA !

BTT, please.

'17 - early '23.

Early brass caps spoken for - have a set of 5 brass wire wheel caps & 3 - '15-'16 caps - old repros from the 70's - $20 each for the '15 - '16 caps.

Agreed - pretty good bunch of folks on here !

Here's a rare bird - Winfield intake complete w/Carter carb. - came off a running BB RAJO - not for the faint of heart - serious inquires, please. Same port configuration as a Model A Ford. I have a few more photos. Never seen another but was informed that one could change out the top plate for mult...

Any interest in this neat accessory handbrake extension ? Original box is rough but included - even has original REX decal & paint. $250 + the ride in the U.S. Drop me a note through the Forum, please.

I sent you a reply regarding the lug nuts, Mark .

I have a set of 5 brass T wire wheel hub caps & a set of brass, early block FORD caps available - $100 a set + the ride. Photos on request.

I'm a flap guy when & where needed - been doing most of the local club's guys' tires for years - never had a do-over ! I do wires also but clearly those use rim strips !

Sent you a note, Mark.

That's how I do my engines, Keith - each ring will have a different gap depending on where it runs in the cylinder.

Are you seeking the early one with the adjustable end ?

I'll look, Mark - I might have a set of originals but would need replating.

If I have to resort to a winch, I grab both sides of the perches at the spring or better yet, grab each frame corner on the early cars with no radiator valance.

We have a '19 - I fabricated the tube mount as they're quite rare for the closed cars, then used a nice original open car mirror.

Mike B. - down below has a script door for sale !

Those horns were mounted onto LARGE, early automobiles, such as Pierce Arrow, etc.

Perfect repair job for Belzona !

I use what you listed, John - didn't go out to the shop to verify !

Is this the original '17 engine that was "updated" for an electric starter ? From the field coil damage, it's possible "stuff" had previously been tossed around to cause it. That doesn't appear to be a starter field coil as there is no notch for Bendix clearance.

Pancake Hasslers headed to a new garage - thanks MTFCA ! I have more Hassler parts !

NOS spindle arm bushing is .985 in length.

Black RTV.

It's somewhat normal for spindle arm wear in that area if the lubrication was neglected as was the case in most Model Ts ! I'll go out & measure a new bushing for length, but I suspect it's just wear on the arm - not the tie-rod.

What, no A & Ps here ???

I have several Ford 3Z & 5Z shop tools that are nickel plated.

Kevin Pharis would be the "knowledgeable" one on that subject !

Sounds as though the P.O. did some "handywork" of his own - the knob coming out of the dash is/was aluminum and the square shank is quite long - I'll measure one today & post a photo.

I believe both Fun Projects & Bittner produced such a beast - I might still have one of each - drop me a note !

But - still for a small drum rear end !

Open to offers - got too much stuff !

If the combination mixture/choke rod was replaced, most likely with a repro, one drives out the tension pin holding the adjustment knob, shorten the rod as needed, reattach the knob, redrill the hole & reinsert the tension pin. Ford supplied a "special" hot air pipe with indentation for the swivel t...

Look like TT ?

And, this is what can happen !!!

Located on the d.s. frame between the battery carrier & the starter switch.

I believe it's the remnants of an accessory water circulator.

He stated that the coilbox wood WAS replaced with the modern stuff !

Both drain plug & rear axle filler plug take a 15/16" wrench - later "Improved" Ford's rear axle plugs used a pipe.

The new repro from Snyder's seems well made - I've installed several and no leaks !

Which T Larry ?
