IMG_2856.JPG Got new E-brake linings on the speedster. Pulled the carb of the 15 Touring to discover that the float was set about an 1/8" to high. reset to 1/4". Also discovered there was no gasket between float bowl and carb body. Glad I had one. Carb reinstalled back on car. Now in the middle of ...

I have used a product called Evaporust with get success. Only attacks the rust and neutralizes the rust so it does not start again.

My 2 cents on the use of Thermocure. I used it on my speedster last winter per the instructions. Worked great in cleaning out the block. What came out was quite interesting. However, I have a Livingston, honeycomb radiator, and though the Thermocure did its job in busting up the rust into very fine ...

Flushed a very plugged up radiator. About 4 hours of water on and off through both ends.

My 1926 Speedster. RAJO OHV head, Rayfiled UF carb, Livingston radiator.

I got a NOS gasket for my C-35 head from Olson's Gasket in Washington.

Not cheap, but if want original he's the only place I found.
Good luck

I have the same head on my 26 Speedster. Anyone have a good way to get to the 5 bolts that are behind the exhaust/intake manifold for a re-torque? I have a very expensive NOS copper gasket and would hate to remove the manifold for re-torque. Thanks

Note single port intake. That is on the low end of RAJO heads. I have a RAJO on my speedster that has the 2 port intake. Also the top end RAJO head would have exhaust on the opposite side. Not questioning the 100 mph claim, but think it is possible. I feed my RAJO with a Rayfield UF carb and run a d...

Thanks guys. Just need to get it painted then installed. I do have some castle nuts that may work. We'll see. Happy New Year.

Purchased a wishbone support for my 15 Touring. Any tips on installing, or is it as easy as it appears.
Thanks

My C-35 head has a lot more "meat" between the plug holes and bottom. Just saying.

Whatever tires you decide to buy, check out Summit Racing. All orders over $100 is free shipping all the time. Yes they do carry a number of tires for Ts. Got two sets of Universals (plus flaps and tubes) from them the last couple of years.

I have run both the Motorcraft F11 and Autolite 3095 in both my Ts. The F11 just seems to run a little better than the 3095. At least in my Ts. Both cost about the same.

Stan-
My Rayfield still looks great after a few years. Thanks

I have been polishing brass for a long time. This is the best stuff I have found since Tarnite was discontinued.

Couple months back I too was in search for a round tank. Called all the normal "big" vendors with the same response...get in line. Then I called Bob's out of Rockford. The answer I got was music to my ears...sure we got plenty. 3 days later I was installing my new tank. Thank goodness the old one on...

Thanks Steve. I will take your advise.

I recently put the RAJO head back on the motor and ran it twice for about 15 minutes each (on jack stands) in the shop. My question is, when I go to re-torque the head bolts, should I do this cold or after allowing motor to come to temp? I'm going to 45 ft lbs as a final setting. Thanks

For the first time ever my 15 did not want to start this Spring. After checking everything, I decided it might be a spec of something in the carb. Though I had starting fluid handy, I decided to pour a small amount of gas into no. 1 cylinder. A roll or two and she came to life. I would use starting ...

Here is the 1913 my dad was restoring before he passed away.

The "cap" I am referring to is the one to the left in your picture (on the axle tube). Not the cap for the grease cup.

Can you use the cap from the one you removed (or extra one laying around)? I use a number of the zerk kind and have never seen one with a post in it. Also, do you pull the cap and fill the cavity completely? I usually just give it a couple of pumps from the gun.

I have read to run 1 gauge wire for my 6 volt system. However, 1 gauge is tough to find locally. I can find 2 gauge easy enough. Is anyone running 2 gauge? How does it work for you? I have been running 4 gauge, but the starter still lacks. The starter has been rebuilt. Thanks

I would be all in favor of having the option for a digital copy of the magazine. Many years back the NRA made the switch for a digital option, which I did. A digital copy gives me many options when it comes to saving, labeling, printing, etc. My vote would be to offer this option.

Maybe one other note. I do not put cover on radiator after use. I wait until the next day so it can cool down.

Greg-
This is what I have. I do have 14 headlamps, that's why those covers look bigger than for a 15 headlamp.

Greg- Yes I have them for radiator and all my lights. Mine are a light canvas on outside and flannel lined on inside. I think the canvas is just "old school". I know MACS sells a set, but is for up to a 1914 so it also includes a cover for the carbide generator. Don't know if you need that or not. Y...

I have a complete set of cotton/canvas covers for all my brass parts. 1915 Touring. They work great in prolonging a nice polish job. When my dad owned the car and living on the East coast of Florida, I was impressed on how long the brass looked good. Sets or individual covers can be purchased at the...

What is the best way to straighten wire spokes? I would like to try to do myself without a big investment into having someone else do. Thanks

This is sold. Thanks Rich.
