Well Folks, Tad has been hearing nothing but Crickets so far. I have one that I can part off in my collection . Tad, please email me so we start a conversation. -Dusty

DustySpokes

Now THIS is a worthy challenge Tad. -Dusty

DustySpokes

OK - got the picture - thanks!

DustySpokes

No Sir, nothing yet.

DustySpokes

Hi Steve, please send me a few pictures of what you got up for grabs. -Dusty

DustySpokes

I shall join the Chorus to sing Praise for the workmanship. I just received my set of wire wheel nuts . It was like getting a Wonderful Christmas Present in April !

They are show quality ! Kudos to you Mark ! -Dusty

DustySpokes

I believe the top part clamps on top of the driver's door of a T Touring car that would have its side curtains on, so that you can open the door without damaging the side curtains.

DustySpokes

OK - now here is a long shot request. Does anyone out there have an original U & J hot air pipe for for grabs? It has a corrugated elbow .- Dusty

DustySpokes

These books are excellent for reference. Jam packed with useful info on many auto topics. I personally own several different years.

DustySpokes

This is identical to the Factory advertisement in the July 1921 issue of Ford Owner and Dealer, see page 26. . It is a type CA , which had automatic advance. -Dusty

DustySpokes

This sort of spring also makes a Dandy tire iron !

DustySpokes

The Wilmo is an excellent manifold . I have one on my 27 engine. They stay straight and resist warping. For a preheater manifold , they are not overly heavy.

DustySpokes

Looks like a Matco , without the name on it.

DustySpokes

Hi Ron, can you email me back about a set of coils ? -Ed ( aka Dusty)

DustySpokes

12K Square Feet is Still an impressive amount of parts Bob !

DustySpokes

Jonny, "if" you are lucky, hopefully someone out there in Model T Speedster Land , may have a pair of reproductions that Joe Michalek had made many years ago. He is the only fellow I know of who made repops of various aluminum Mercury Speedster parts. -Dusty ( 1922 Mercury Body - no door model )

DustySpokes

Sir Kenneth, I will likely give your jig a try next year.
-Dusty from Regina

DustySpokes

Just an idea: The Zenith 04's were used on a lot of Chevrolets . Perhaps check with the Antique Chevy guys to see what if any parts for the 04's may be made available ? -Dusty

DustySpokes

for the curious Raging Masses out there and not at the Swapmeet: what is your asking price for the pair on the right hand side of the photo ? Do they have the 2 rivets in the back of the housing to properly seat the light housing into the into the bracket ? are reflectors in good shape ? If for some...

DustySpokes

Some pictures posted onto this site would be useful huh ?

DustySpokes

The engine looks as pretty as a Bugatti ! A clean and well done job from what I see. Idea- perhaps add a picture showing the rockers and shafts ?

DustySpokes

Also note the nice electric headlamp conversion within the acetylene headlamps.

DustySpokes

cast iron ? aluminum ? 4 or 8 sparkplugs ?

DustySpokes

This looks to a job for the "RAIDER OF THE LOST PARTS " !

DustySpokes

I will take 'em Mark -Dusty

DustySpokes

Well....... if it was good enough for a Cadillac, then it would be good enough for a T Speedster !

DustySpokes

Like Speedster Brother of mine always has told me " Ed - save your pennies........ buy a Fronty !" Here is someone else's chance

DustySpokes

$1500 sounds like a great deal to me. It would take a fellow a good amount of time to round up all 4 parts . I have never seen an engine block like this for sale even. If I did not already own an NOS head exactly like this, I would go for this package ! ( I am just sayin')

-Dusty

DustySpokes

Layden, I will take it. - Dusty ( the Dreamer )

DustySpokes

Hi Layden, is this pump meant for Fuel transfer like a primer pump or can it work for air to pressure up a gas tank ? -Dusty

DustySpokes

Mark- may as well add the 30 X 3 - 1/2 tube for $15 to make it worthwhile - Dusty

DustySpokes

Hi Mark, PLease add the carb to my pile. -Dusty

DustySpokes

The bottom horn looks to be a Klaxton 8-C . 6 volt - They are excellent horns to use. Good tone and reliable.

DustySpokes

email sent to Mark about Lot #3 - Dusty

DustySpokes

Sir Rodger, if any pair of 11-16 castings are left, I would like to purchase a pair for a local fellow who is doing up an '11 Touring. ( if you have 2 pairs left, it would be nice for me to have a pair too ) Many Thanks -Dusty

DustySpokes

You Aussies deserve to get some good parts down there. You fellows do amazing work with very little material .

DustySpokes

Thanks Dale, I need brass fuel tubes for my 26-27 Kingston Regenerators so they will go to good use.

DustySpokes

Dale, I will take the 3 brass bits ( the 2 fuel pipes and petcock ) labelled as various brass parts for $30 . Add to the box OK -Dusty

DustySpokes

HI Dale, can I add the turtle deck trunk support to the 2 carbs please ? - Dusty

DustySpokes

I would like the 2 holley carbs please - Dusty

DustySpokes

A good catch Mike ! It took me only about 20-25 years to get one for my own setup. This is the only one I have ever seen for sale , other than my own.

Can someone let the cat out of the Bag and let us know what this mag is supposed to go onto ? -Curious Dusty

DustySpokes

This is all very inspirational indeed Tom ! - Dusty

DustySpokes

Assuming a lot of 12 could be achieved, any ballpark idea of what a pair of axle shafts would run a guy ? -Dusty

DustySpokes

Hi Andy, my IN-Box was full when you emailed me so it kicked back at ya. A wonderful brake setup you have ! Chat soon -Dusty

DustySpokes

Matt, these books will be wonderful to read during next year's Ice-Cold Wintertime ! I appreciate the very fair price for this literature Amigo.

DustySpokes

Deal in play Folks -Dusty

DustySpokes

The 8-C is an excellent choice of horn. It is a hardy unit and has a good loud tone to it. One can purchase reproduction ( or at least used to ) ID badge/name plate for them. -Dusty

DustySpokes

These axle housings are very hard to find ! Good straight backing plates and no bad pitting is a mega bonus for housings this early.

DustySpokes

For a wooden steering wheel, It is stunning !

DustySpokes

A side note: if you think that a Zenith S4BF is a tough carb to find, try getting an ST4B ! I spent years looking to eventually find a couple for my RAJO C-35 Overhead .

DustySpokes

I too would be interested in one as I have a couple of carbies hanging up on the Wall of Speed that could likely use better jets. -Dusty

DustySpokes

Are you looking for a hand pull type starter ( like from the dash ) OR a battery setup like a Gray-Davis Model 301 ? - Dusty

DustySpokes

Hi Ed, does the book mention anything about his secret hunting and fishing trips to Canada ? -Dusty

DustySpokes

This is a wonderful combination . I have a Wilmo manifold and they rarely ever warp. -Dusty

DustySpokes

The correct shifter ball like this one , is a Tough little item to find !!

DustySpokes

A great tool worth the money !

DustySpokes

If it is good enough for aircraft , it should be good enough for Model T's !

DustySpokes

My Faux-Pa ( my boo-boo ) . The head is an "AC". There has been discussion on the Forum under headings of "High Compression Head" and "Cast Iron Head". I thought to correct myself before others did.

DustySpokes

I have an AG head that I could perhaps part off. If this is something of interest, I could likely locate it within the organized Chaos within my shop and snap and send a few pictures. -Dusty

DustySpokes

How many parts come with it ? ( such as water outlet ) Any pictures to share with us ? -Dusty

DustySpokes

Darel you "just" listed it . Some folks are still at work and have not even been able to look at this website yet. Give it a day or two perhaps?

Hi Dan, email sent about the 1911 Gas Tank - Dusty

DustySpokes

The correct step plates have only a cross hatched pattern and not the Mercury logo like Joe had made.

DustySpokes

Bingo ! That is exactly what I had remembered seeing. Thanks Mike.

DustySpokes

HI Larry, is your model an early No -door model ? Somebody was reproducing the special mounting plate that bolted onto the firewall and made them in aluminum versus the factory steel one that Mercury made. I cannot remember who it was . Maybe Lang's at one time ? -Dusty

DustySpokes

What a set of gorgeous Buffalo's ! It is a unique thing to have a wheel nut marked as "Spare" . -Dusty

DustySpokes

I have a New Old Stock, never used KMC carb that I would sell to someone who would want to have a very interesting accessory. I can let it go for $130 This is likely THE most elusive carbs you would ever find. With the purchase of Mark's setup , you would be in great shape with spare parts. -Dusty

DustySpokes

Please put aside NO. 1 and 4 also - Ed

Hank -I just have to ask this question : how many hours of sleep a night do you live on ? LIke 3 ? You sure have gotten a lot of high end workmanship done !

- Dusty

DustySpokes

Mark O Man - put me down for one. -Dusty

DustySpokes

Hi ! When you lay the wheel down on a perfectly flat surface like a piece of glass OR a granite countertop, how true does the basic rim look to be ? How much gap appears anywhere ? - Dusty

I love the humour on this Classified's Section ! -Dusty

DustySpokes

Any Luck yet Layden ? ( LUCK = Laboring Under Correct Knowledge )

- Dusty

DustySpokes

OK - I gotta ask this question, what else is needed to make this setup fully complete ? Me thinks there is a special little Kerosene tank as this setup is meant to be able to run kerosene as well as gasoline. ( I am pretty sure that I have a New Old Stock KMC brass carb , but not sure if it is the s...

The front hub that Kevin shows at the very top of this advert is from a Frayer. The wheel nut he just posted screws onto the hub and there is a special wire spring finger on the wire wheel that engages onto the outer teeth of the wheel nut.

DustySpokes

How many teeth does the wheel and hub have ? -Dusty

DustySpokes

I have a couple of K-2's and type H's that could use a back up box or two , just in case . I like the kick-switch style as you can use the tip of your shoe to flip the switch over.

DustySpokes

Jay - I take em - Dusty

DustySpokes

I am on board Sir Richard - Dusty

DustySpokes

It is a "Nash" Accessory tranny driven speedo.

DustySpokes

Note that the builder of the speedster removed the reverse pedal and is utilizing the reverse gear that the Muncie Tranny has. A clever trick. -Dusty

DustySpokes

It looks like he mounted a Reliance Tacho on the upper left hand side of firewall. I wonder how it was driven ?

DustySpokes

It even has the correct Factory colours ! -Dusty

DustySpokes

When one installs the brass priming cups , this head looks Stellar !

DustySpokes

This would make a Wonderful Father's Day Present huh ?!

DustySpokes

It is going to look amazing on my 1912-13 Brass Speedster ( in about 2-3 years upon completion) -Dusty
