Re: How many of us ?
Yes, my first car was a 1926 Touring, bought in 1957 and I still have it.

Re: 26-27 accessory bumpers nickel or chrome?
It was my understanding that the first copper layer was to enhance adhesion. Chrome plating is porous, so nickel was applied before the chrome to seal the surface.

Re: 2 wrench valve lifters
Could it be "Root interference lock thread", as used on the Mopar "leaning tower of power"?

Re: My great grandfathers 1926 Model T touring, Norway
Any evidence that Ts built in Denmark or Sweden perhaps had linoleum covered wooden running boards?

Re: INSERT ROD BEARINGS--LONG TEM REPORT?
Eric Barrett,
21 milloin VW aircooled Beetles were built with inser bearings and no oil filter. Can't be too bad, methinks.

Re: My great grandfathers 1926 Model T touring, Norway
Vidar,
I was under the impression that only Model a was assembled in Sweden; not ModelT.

Re: My great grandfathers 1926 Model T touring, Norway
Hei Vidar!
Right now it escapes me how to post pictures, but I did post in another thread. Look in the thread titled "How long have you owned your old iron".
My car is a 1926 Touring.

Re: My great grandfathers 1926 Model T touring, Norway
Hei Vidar! Thanks for the update! I just remember how it was in the "good old days", as I have not lived in Norway since 1962. Now I just visit. My daughter moved from Umeå, Sweden to Smøla, Norway last year, so I'll be visiting her again this year. I will also try to make it to the 60 year reunion ...

Re: How Long Have You Owned Your Old Iron?
This is a test to see if i have figured out how to attach photos. The picture of me backing up the T on a long plank was taken in 1958, my senior year in high school. I had bought the T the previous fall. My dad bought the VW new in the fall of 1973, and it became mine when he died over 40 years ago...

Re: My great grandfathers 1926 Model T touring, Norway
My question to Vidar concerns how to get an up to date title to my car. Norway used to only issue one document, which served the purpose of title and registration. Now they do issue two pieces of paper, Part 1 to keep in your car to serve as registration. The other, Part2, serves as title, not to be...

Not a bad translation, but not 100% either.

Re: My great grandfathers 1926 Model T touring, Norway
Hei Vidar! Jeg leverte inn skiltene i 1964, da jeg dro til USA for å finne en jobb. Jeg har det gamle vognkortet, men det er i min første kones navn. Jeg har også en signert salgsmelding fra henne til meg. Det gjør eierforholdet litt rotete, så det er derfor jeg er interessert i å få det nye vognkor...

Re: How Long Have You Owned Your Old Iron?
Since 1957. I'd add a picture of 1926 Touring, #12987766, if I could figure out how.

Re: Valve guide clearance
Manufacturing numbers for MOPAR cast iron engines was 0.001 to 0.003 diametrical clearance for intakes and 0.002 to 0.004 for exhaust.

Re: My great grandfathers 1926 Model T touring, Norway
Hei Vidar! In regards to the assembly date of your T, your car was probably assembled in Copenhagen. Norway fell under the distribution district for cars built there. Chances are there could be weeks, if not months, between the engine build date and the assembly of the vehicle. My car, 12987766, had...
