I just ordered it from Kathy!
Thanks so much! I really appreciate your help!

I’m looking for a reddish tan fan belt in 32”. None of the vendors have them even though some have them on their website. I’m building a show car and want this for the car. The first photo shows that fan belt on the 15 millionth engine going down the assembly line. My car was made the same day, 15,0...

Mike,
I emailed you about the fan.
Thanks!

Dan,
Files have been sent.

Yes, they are shown in the service bulletins for December 1st of 1919.
I’ll work on the scan tomorrow.

One manual won’t post.
This is a Fairbanks Morse unit.
Here’s a photo of one at a Ford Factory in use setting up starters and generators.
If you look at the left side of the photo you will see the first version of this tester with a wood legged base.
Ford used these in the factory.

Dan,
Do you need the manual for the tester pictured?
I have a 3 manuals for this tester and I would be glad to copy it for you.
It will take a day or two. There’s several pages.
Let me know.
Brent

I will pay shipping both ways.
Please email me to brentmize@aol.com for shipping address.

Larry, the photo is for reference only. I need one for a pattern only.
I talked to Y&Z and I need a pattern. I emailed Langs to see if the might have one.

Bring to top.

Hi All, I am having a new harness made with some nos Ford Script tags. I’m in need of a complete 27 main harness. This is the long one that goes up the drivers side of the vehicle. The harness maker is weaving the tags into the loom. Please let me know if you have an original or good repo harness fo...

Thank you Jonathan, and the MTFCA.
The coils are sold!

For your consideration is a set of 4 early KW coils. These were for 1912 and early 1913. These only fit the early KW wood box. Coils have been fully rebuilt with correct capacitors, potted and set up on the Strobospark. Tops have been refinished in black oxide with new correct nuts including new thu...

Jonah,
I sent you a pm. Check your email.

Ron,
What is your new email address?
Thanks,
Brent

Yes, these coils are very similar in size to earlier coils.
The terminals are also located differently than later KW coils.

I’m lucky enough too to have an original label in mine. Here’s my coils and box. I restored the coils and switch. I used black oxide on the tops. I purchased the coil box mostly done, but the switch needed some help and the coils did as well.Very satisfying project. I did use new snap catches that R...

The coils have been sold!
Thanks MTFCA!

For sale, one set of 4 original brass top coils in black oxide finish with brass accents. Black oxide was offered during the Model T era. 4 screw tops. Fully restored with correct capacitor, new insulators, repotted with tar, and tops totally cleaned and re-oxided. New points adjusted for maximum fi...

The article regarding the 15 millionth color was written by the Matt Anderson, curator of transportation at the Henry Ford, in the May-June Model T Times. Here’s a photo of the page indicating the original color of the car. It’s really hard from the photo, but the lettering does look to be silver. E...

Here’s a photo of the door polished out. Being that satin pyroxylin lacquer, there’s not much polishing.
But, here it is. I believe that the color name was Deep Channel Green.

I will get a photo of the door once I polish out a section. I have to get it out if my storage garage.

Here’s the photos.
Bottom is the original door.

Hello all, The second photo shows an original 27 touring door that I purchased a few years back. The paint is original as is the straw colored stripe. The green is a very dark green. It’s a 27 door which features the embossed in curtain rod socket on top of the door less the zinc ferrule. The other ...

Darrel,
I sent you an email.
I need a 26-27 tag.
I am sending a check today. How much is postage?
Thanks, they’re beautiful!

I found one. My friend Ruck Lindner has one!

Bob,
Please let me know how wide the Kingston unit is.
That will be the key if I can or cannot use it.
Thanks!

Bob,
Thank you for looking. I do however believe that those are too wide.
The Ford type was different in shape and the feet went in the other direction.
Here’s a photo of the Ford type cutout.

[image][/image]

Linus,
Yes, it’s very doable.
You will just need to only if the car is negative or positive ground.
That’s really all that’s necessary. The diode just passes current in one direction only.
Post a photo.
Thanks Brent

Hi all, I’m currently restoring a generator tester for the Model T Museum. It’s an Allen and it will be on long term loan in the museum. I’m in need of a rectangular cutout that can be converted to a diode for that machine. It does not have to be a Ford Script, but if it is that’s great. Please let ...

Dennis Fleming took the time to find some caps.
Thank you Dennis and the MTFCA classifieds!

Hello everyone. I’m in need of 4 rod caps, only, that measure at a minimum of .660, preferably .700 measure at the bolt holes, top to bottom. Most of the time these are filed and they are thinner that they are supposed be. Please let me know if you have any that meet these requirements and are willi...

I have seen those on the early generator brush plates.
Most likely as you say, an early starter.
Brent

I just got white smoothies from Universal this week.
I got the Universal smoothies. They were out of Firestones.
They were out of stock on some styles, but that had what I wanted.
They were out of stick in the 30x3.5 tubes with metal stems.
No big deal.
I was excited to get new tires for my 13.

Larry, your switch looks great as does the rest of the box.
Great job!

Thanks Larry!
Would Turf Grain be correct for my 27 touring?
I haven’t ordered the kit yet.
Thanks!

I am so sorry to hear of the death of Wally.
He was a great guy and one of the nicest people I have ever met.
Such a loss for our hobby.
Thank you Wally for being a friend.
My condolences to Fran and Wally’s family.

Many thanks,
Brent

Thank you for your consideration.

I usually don’t respond due to being in business. The price per coil is $40 for wood top and $50 for brass top due to added finishing and insulators. That’s the price I have charged for the last ten years. Others rebuilders may differ. I got my guidance and training from Ron Patterson. He’s always b...

Would you consider $100, plus shipping?

Kim, are the windings good in the coils?

For me it’s just about trying to get it right. Unless an individual was on the line at the time a car was built it’s virtually impossible to say absolute about anything. Since there are no records left for the late cars, who knows how it left Highland or of the regional assembly plants. There are th...

Larry,
That’s the car as I got it BEFORE being re-restored. They are history.
It’s totally apart. I know that those aren’t correct. Duh!
Thanks for your snarky comment! That wasn’t necessary, but expected!

Joe’s one of the best! And he’s down to earth and willing to help anyone.
A treasure to our hobby!

Thank you for your responses. I do know the car was painted some time many years ago. I talked to the curator and that’s what he told me. But there were no records of the paint or color and why they changed the color of the car. The car was originally gun metal blue, or grey. And it had a dark pinst...

The 15 millionth car on display at Greenfield Village has the extended fan hub as referenced in an article some to be ago in the magazines. I also had an up close look at the car with a representative from the museum a year ago. They don’t know anything much about the car, so I’m asking you. My ques...

Joe Bell just called and he has a set for me. Thanks so much!

Sorry, here’s the guage.

This is what he’s looking for.

Thanks Mark!

Wanted:
26-27 Emergency brake shoes.
During the long restoration of my 27, I’ve lost my emergency brake shoes.
I’m sure they’ll show up long after I need them.
If you have a set to sell, please let me know.
Thanks
Brent Mize

Mark,
Are these sold?
Thanks,
Brent

Beautiful Site!

We are being very cautious though.

Beautiful job Bob!

I paid half of that for a fully restored box and 4 rebuildable coils.

Brad, thats not a problem. Let me know how much and I’ll send you a check.
Thanks so much,
Brent

Somehow during disassembly of my 27 touring I’ve misplaced one of the Ford Bumper backing plates. They are made in reproduction, but they don’t match what I have. The one shown is being prepped and will be gloss black. Please let me know if you have an extra that you’re willing to sell. Thanks for l...

KIM, is it sold?
If not, I’ll take it.

I’ll take 10 spindle washers too.

I’ll take the generator starter screws. Send me a price and I’ll send a check.

The coil vibrator and upper bridge nuts are 12-32. I buy thousands a a time with other rebuilders and vendors. They are custom made from the Ford print. The taps and dies are available from several vendors. I believe I purchased mine from KB tools. Dean made me a tool for shim washers and it works g...
