Oh no ! I've talked with John several times and just sold him a set of Rocky Mountain Brakes. We talked at length about his health problems....so sad.

Gary Gregory

Thanks Dave. I check Langs catalog but it doesn't say if they are solid. I'll give them a call.

Gary Gregory

I had actually thought about a gun cleaning brush earlier today ! Great minds I guess !

Gary Gregory

Do any of the Vendors sell solid hood rods ? I just got a set of SS rods from Snyder's that are hollow like original. I know I got a set of solid rods for my Model A several yrs back and they are easier to install without risking bending. The catalogs I have doesn't say if they're solid or hollow.

Gary Gregory

Fake news. I just heard from Bergs this week.

Gary Gregory

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIR ! My best buddy is 97 and still drives his 24 Coupe like a mad man ! I'm 55 and have learned a lot from guys in your generation.

Gary Gregory

RajoRacer where could I get a set ?

Gary Gregory

What do you guys use to attach the switch onto the switch plate ? This one had small rusty screws which I know isn't correct. Came off my 27 Roadster.

Gary Gregory

The Arthritis in my back makes it nearly impossible to lift the battery from my 27 Roadster !

Gary Gregory

Its always the simple things ! Great job.

Gary Gregory

Somebody got took to the cleaners ! I got one off EBay not long ago for $30 ! There one on now for $50 Buy It Now.

Gary Gregory

Yep that's a Bauer steering wheel. Here's mine with the original walnut.

Gary Gregory

I'm rebuilding the steering column for my 27 Roadster..new paint..bushings and spark & throttle rods. As you can see I can't get the Pitman on because the spark rod is to long ! It looks like I need to at least cut the rod up to the pin hole ?

Gary Gregory

Its backwards. Easy way to tell is the "feathers" are on the wrong side. Picture a bird flying the same direction as your car...the feathers would tale toward the rear.

Gary Gregory

I had one on my 27 Roadster. It was attached on the passenger side pillar where the kick panel attaches. And yes you can see it from the seat.

Gary Gregory

I've never seen this style of cap before. The black paint was all but gone so I cleaned them up...made from Pot Metal.

Gary Gregory

I think I'll put new wicks in a set and put them on my 27 Roadster when I get it put back together.

Gary Gregory

I love finding Model T era accessories !

Gary Gregory

I have one just like it. I always thought it was Model A era...but not sure.

Gary Gregory

Thanks for the replies. I just assumed the wood would need sealed. It will not be left out in the weather so I guess I'll leave them as is.

Gary Gregory

What type of finish should I apply to the wood before installing the top material ? I have some very clear oak I plan to use. I'm thinking Marine Polyurethane ? I have a old can of Danish rubbing oil that may work also.

Gary Gregory

I've found several T Differential housings that seem to be NOS. Does the I.D measurement look correct for a new housing ? There are no grooves or worn areas and some had hand tags attached.

Gary Gregory

Steve I think you're a bit confused. It was Labonny that closed its doors. Unless Cartouche did also ????

Gary Gregory

I'd would like to hear from guys who have used Cartouche if this is what the vendors are selling.

Gary Gregory

I can tell you I've dealt with Don Lang personally and he will treat you right. I'll probably be ordering the upholstery for my 27 Roadster from him. How much difference are there from the kit from Langs and a kit from Classtique ?

Gary Gregory

I still can't reply to the sender...there's no link to send a email.

Gary Gregory

What would one expect to pay for a front or back set by KRW ?

Gary Gregory

I have one just like it !

Gary Gregory

Thanks Dan...sadly he passed away last year at age 99..I never thought to ask questions.

Gary Gregory

I got this from a friend who bought obsolete Model T and A parts from Ford Dealerships n the 1950s. Any idea what era the sign may be? The measurements are about 12x24. The Ford script and circle are embossed into the wood...which is solid except for a ply cut into each end to stop it from warping.

Gary Gregory

Jeff the only link in the email is to the Forum administrator...there's no other link and no way to contact the sender.

Gary Gregory

Thanks Jeff !

Gary Gregory

I've had several people contact me through the forum email but there's no way to reply unless they add their email address in the text. When I hit reply the email go's to the site administrator not the person I wish to contact. How do I reply to the emails ?

Gary Gregory

Pretty ruff...but steal cool !

Gary Gregory

Thanks again ...those measurements do help !

Gary Gregory

Thanks Rich..I may have found what I needed.

Gary Gregory

Does anyone by chance have the measurements of this tool rack ? I have a good size collection of Mossberg tools that would great in my shop.

Gary Gregory

Exactly what is the Vintage Ford Magazine section used for at the bottom of the forum ? The updated site has been up and running for a few weeks but know one has posted anything on the Vintage Ford.

Gary Gregory

I bet they are cool pics George ! I promise you some idiot would steal them off the net if you posted them.

Gary Gregory

Just to give everyone a heads up that's there's a guy who steals photos from Antique Auto sites and forums and then lists them for sale on EBay. Its not a big deal I guess but I just saw one of my family pics of a cousin of mine with his Model T Ford for sale....exactly described word for word on ho...
