Jim, I've had both hips replaced 30+ years ago I've had both knees replaced 10+ years ago I've had my left shoulder replaced 8+ years ago. My best overall advice - Do all of the physical therapy and all of the at home exercises. The overall quality of your outcome is very much in your hands. Best...

Keith, When I put a starter on mt '16 I used a three terminal solenoid. The solenoid had one of the large terminals marked "BAT". Below is the diagram of the solenoid that I used. As you can see, the coil is internally connected to the "BAT" terminal. The small terminal needs a ground to activate t...

This is a similar idea.

You Can Find T Parts in the Darndest Places.
While at my Doctors office, I noticed something familiar on the Wall Art.

I was breaking down an early transmission/flywheel assembly and got a little surprise. One of the magnets came off in two pieces! It looks like it's an original assembly as indicated by what appears to be the original lock wire. There was no indication the magnet was broken. Yup - They're out there...

Dan, I had one with a worn reamer. I could not find a MT2 replacement reamer. I bought a regular reamer (3/4" I think). I used a standard MT2 dead center and faced off the point. I drilled and machined an interference hole in the MT2 center and pressed in the reamer. I don't remember if I had to tu...

Thanks Bob.

At least ten manufactures of HCCT's have been identified.

FYI - There are NOW SIX HCCT's on eBay right now. All seem a bit expensive to me. 1 Weidenhoff - Uncommon - decent price https://www.ebay.com/itm/276759553487?_skw=%22jewell%22+-springs+-nursing+-popcorn&itmmeta=01JDZC6HS81466C0YACXVVB0YX&hash=item407027a5cf:g:5oMAAOSwbXdnSyK5&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAA...

The red blob is a damaged pointer.
Looks like it needs a fair amount of work to restore.
I'd give $30 for it if I lived closer.

I found one on Amazon - About $60 https://www.amazon.com/ELING-Speedometer-Odometer-Tripmeter-Backlight/dp/B0CPJ6JRWR/ref=rvi_d_sccl_5/135-1890661-8275149?pd_rd_w=dteaf&content-id=amzn1.sym.f5690a4d-f2bb-45d9-9d1b-736fee412437&pf_rd_p=f5690a4d-f2bb-45d9-9d1b-736fee412437&pf_rd_r=848CWGC872GBY8FA0A4...

They look great. Where did you put the GPS antenna?

I made one. I found an old wheel wrench and cut out the front bearing section. It is the exact fit for the cam nut. I just welded it to a piece of tubing and welded that to an old socket. It is deep enough to work on the front wheel bearing and the cam nut. Wheel Wrench.jpeg IMG_1849 (Small)....

It is most likely an inductor.
Ford put inductors on non-starter cars.
It was mounted on the firewall on 15-19 cars
and on the ignition switch in lieu of an ammeter on later cars without starters.

I did the top on my '16 Touring. It seemed like an intimidating task but in reality it was not that difficult. If you did your seats you can do the top. Here are the links to my saga that I posted on this forum. http://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages/80257/92334.html?1242739710 http://www.mtfca...

Just a suggestion. Offer them without the flywheel and magneto ring. That leaves the crank handle, shaft, spark ring, frame and meter. These will be much much cheaper and easier to ship. Flywheels and field coils are easy to come up with. In any case, if it comes down to disposing them, save the ...

I have used the Harbor Freight one for balancing transmission drums.
I haven't tried a flywheel yet.

Allen,

You are correct - however,
I have spent many hours chasing a bad ground to get something to work.
The steering column has a long path to ground through the column,
through the shaft,
through the steering bracket,
to the frame.
For reliability, I will usually install a wired ground.

I have removed the engine without raising the body or removing the firewall but it's a real fist fight.
I prefer the "remove the firewall" method.

Rich,

I got it to come up with the following two searches :

Steering Wheel, Brass Era

My guess is that comma is confusing the search engine for other searches.

Try rewording the title without a comma.

Mark,
I just checked my stock.
The pointy tip bulbs that I have are not Mag Bulbs.
They are single contact, 12-14 Volt, 15 C.P.
Sorry.
I do have some regular Mag Bulbs.

Just FYI : The capacitors sold by Langs and most T suppliers are a custom made capacitor for the Model T coil. They have an even higher dv/dt that the SBE 418 or 225 series capacitors. The current price of the 225P47494YD3 at Mouser is $9.04. The current price of the coil capacitor at Lang's is $...

If you ever wanted a HCCT, here is your chance. When we found this HCCT it had been dropped and badly damaged.

I seem to recall that I read somewhere that after all was said and done the average net profit on each Model T was about $2.00.
That's $30 million dollars over the 18 year run of the Model T.
Pretty big money for that time.

Here is the best photo that I have.

The "Resistor" that is used on the non-starter Model T is actually an Inductor. It is a coil wound around a laminated core. The inductor acts like a variable resistor that varies with engine RPM (Magneto Frequency). As your key is on the coil box, the inductor would have been mounted on the firewal...

The original paper capacitors have no outer wrapping or insulative covering.
Thus the dielectric strength is only what can be provided by the tar.
The glass acts as an insulation barrier between the capacitor and the high voltage windings.

Dan & Dan,
Thanks for the information.
I laid it out in CAD and it is right on.

Does anyone know the radius (or diameter)
of the mounting bolt circle of the magneto field coil?
If possible I would like to know the dimension from the Ford drawing.
I need to layout the hole pattern for a HCCT spark ring.
Thanks for your help.
