Re: Teflon Tape
EZ turn aviation fuel lube works well. It's great on petcocks on the tapered seats. A bar of soap will work to seal a gas leak but I feel more confident in the fuel lube. Works well on some gaskets as well and they can be used over.

Re: Sure Stop Disk Brake Reservoir Mounting Ideas
You could fabricate your own reservoir from brass, copper or steel to blend into an area. Might need a dipstick to check the level or add a slight glass to it.

Re: To young or not?
I'll try to show him how to polish the brass first maybe. He enjoys hearing the horns honk on the cars. When people ask me if it's a model T I do tell them yes it is. Oldsmobile also made a model N and a Curved Dash in 1904 beat Henry on that too.

Re: Cotter pins tips
The early automobile pins are a bit harder to come buy or make as the Eye is round and the ends are the same length. Making them much harder to get a hold of to bend over. On the newer pins that most are use to that are in a tight spot I take a flat blade screw driver and cut a slot in the end of it...

Re: Sandblasting Equipment
I would recommend a pressure fed blast cabinet. You will use much less air and a much better and faster result. You will only have one hose with a nozzle on it that makes it easier to handle and get into tight areas than the most common siphon type cabinets.

John, When your Father posted on the form I listened to what he said! He sure seemed to know the correct and best way to rebuild a T and had the experience to back it up. He surely is missed!
