FYI, if this is where you’re going to park your car. Do yourself a favor and obtain a large tray and place it under engine. Not ment to be an insult rather a reality. Model “T” tend to loose oil. Your floor looks unblemished.

hah

Your extremely luckey to have someone who lives so close to give you a hand.

Dan.
Here in New England instead of water I use antifreeze. Water evaporates fast. Antifreeze stays with whatever you are soaking longer.

As Jerry states, you should be concerned about the diameter. Well, anyone have a new aftermarket timer who is willing to take a measurement?
Thanks,
John.

hah

The goal is! I have a worn out ford timer for my 26 coupe in which I want to rebuild, as I have the equipment to do so. That’s it! I don’t want an aftermarket timer. It was of my opinion someone in this community must have persued this project at one time and could have supplied answers. Although, I...

hah

Addendum: You may/ may not know when you install just the insulation ring, pressing it in there is a lip you need to navigate, slight as it is, that value needs to be accounted for.

hah

Jerry: exactly, when new! Have any idea what the value would be? However, values requested would be needed to complete project.

hah

Dan: Exact measurements taken? Timers wear at different rates. What would you say is the wear factor in your timer internals? I’m trying to build one as if it were brand new. Would a loss of 10%, 20% etc … be a good value of your photo attached? Not that I am anal about it. I am curious as to the me...

hah

Dan:
The posted measurements are they from the posted pictures? If not where did they come from?
Thanks,
John.

hah

Steve:
The timer Dan posted is the one I want to build new internals.

Dan: I was thinking I could use a 3” pipe and mill segments out of it. However, my timer case is at different location. The radius I could (pipe) use could be 2-1/2” or whatever. I don’t have the old segments handy.

hah

Don’t have timer available. Could someone answer questions in photo? FYI: am going to make insulator and the 4 contacts.

Original wiring used 00 wire. Using solenoid what is the size wire connecting the original foot starter?

Ah! Keep it where it is. It is part of the mystique!

Cotton “looms” extinct! Why the decline in cotton? Doesn’t make sense. Been around since inception?

hah

Anyone know the proper OD diameter of a cam bearing? Is the pictured jig exactly the size of the diameter or a few thousands smaller?
Thanks.

hah

You can’t buy cotton from vendors?

hah

Where’s this price list? The only price list I get is from the venders. Official price list?

hah

Aren’t all pictured the early ones? I assumed the two piece ones were 26/27.

hah

Is there a clutch spring rated more than the 110lbs suitable for use in a racing T engine? Or is it sufficient to use the 110 pound spring?

hah

Seems like, “common sense”, thank you all.

hah

Does the added pounds affect operation of transmission? Improve performance or hinder operation?

hah

Howdy,
Seeing clutch springs advertised in classified section brings a question to mind. What is the compression rate (lbs) in one inch?
Thank you

hah

Must be running circle track. Lop it off like a right rear tire of a race car. lol.

hah

Yes, it does! However, I was responding to rva’s response. He states, turning ccw for repair. Ok! My question is repair what?

hah

Repair what? By turning ccw
you fix??? Am I missing something…. Lol!

hah

So, there is no reason to adj. ccw

hah

Clockwise for slipping clutch?????
Counter clockwise for ????

If there is to be relatively intelligent conversations over a mess of booze one must learn to, “sip”.

Why can’t Massachusetts T owners undertake such an interesting topic. I can remember tasting various single barrel bourbons chasing them with multiple labeled beers/ ales when my son was playing in hockey tournaments all over the place. Hockey parents are creative, yet crazy!

hah

As he says, bondo! If it’s a significant piece use mar-glass.

hah

Ahhh! Live on the edge. Repair it! Use SEM's product. 50 second glue or panel bonding adhesive. Look at the sem's product sheets to determine application.

I guess I was correct….SOTU - news at 11…

They are awful for a timing gear. However, they are great for making the internals of a ford timer.

Last pix... self explanatory. However, how about the u shaped ones?

In a 26 coupe how is the trunk floor fastened?
Thank you.

How about hook to front axle each side and bring straps back and hook them a foot in front of rear wheel. Do the same for the rear bringing straps a foot back from the front tire. You just created an x pattern...car cant move front nor back. You should tow with 5 points. Put straps center front and ...

What does one of these taps look like, long, short w/wo handle, through or bottom tap? Have not worked on pinion yet!

hah

Light-weight or heavy duty cotton twill tape? Any particular size? ie: 1/4, 3/16 or maybe 1/2?

hah

Nobody has mentioned "double boiled linseed oil". I can't find it around here anymore. I used it on all of my wood handle tools until I could no longer find it.

Differences of linseed and double boiled linseed oil?

hah

Can one use stock head bolts with p-heads?

hah

My brother in law worked in a foundry since Vietnam until his demise contacting black lung. He would give me casting which were beautiful. I still have a few. I gave away most of them.

No quality of workmanship now and in the future as once was. Not to mention the price of doing business.

hah

Still manufacturing cast iron p-heads? Anything change during evolution since first run regards to aluminum and cast?

hah

James,
Could you take a picture of hammer placing a ruler next to it.. If you have the time. Will attempt to duplicate it.
Thank you,
John.

Look up how to build a magneto magnetizer by david j gingery.

The originals were plywood...go figure! Sounds like they were made of pallets...lol!

What type of wood is this box made of?

hah

I remember this thread. I even responded. It escaped my memory. Must not be think'en! Definitely, brain dead! Thank you, all who have responded. I, at this point, have enough information to build one except the wood. Remember the treewood, firewood and driftwood saga. Oak has to be the choice. Again...

hah

Dude, I'm ah-thinking! Always! I've figured out a few of the measurements. Kinda figured these measurements might have been around here for a spell. Someone might have built these things before and have put the time in with the tape measuring device. Kinda sort of! Maybe! I've never seen one of thos...

Terry straightened out the bottom of case. Do we have a taker for the sides? Could use help!

Thanks,

hah

I have looked at many, many threads representing this topic finding what is necessary to complete the task with one exception and that is actual dimensions.

hah

Recently, a lot has been discussed regarding battery boxes. To change it up a bit, the original wooden case I have not been able to find or am a wee late in responding to classifieds. I looked at previous mtfca posting regarding the subject with out success. I am looking for the dimensions of the wo...

hah

Would not go nowhere near blasting a body.

hah

Heres one for ya Mark, "driftwood"! Gotta love wood!

Come on man, really what type of wood? Its not driftwood or firewood, its more like maple or oak. Those types of wood. Your killing me, but I'm laughing.

hah

Tree wood, that's precious! So, my next question is are there any other woods besides, "tree wood"?

hah

Can someone post what type of wood is used on the battery box with the 2 handles
Thank you,
John.

hah

I'm a genius! John and Jeff much appreciated. Many thanks.

hah

No way, printer scale! Can't get it done. Any others have a thought?

hah

I don"t know how to do that. But, will give it a whirl.
John.

Greetings all!
Am requesting information on firestone split rims. What I need is the dimensions of the clasp which holds rim together. It is two pieces, one is a rectangle and the other is an arrow which pivots on a pin.
Thamks,

If'n your going to sand / buff paint. Do not go too far cuz the sun protection resides in the outer layers.

The one on the right...quarter squash.

hah

OK, I see the 3 v. 4 hole phenom. However, why are they different heights and the diameter of tubes are different sizes?

Just curious!

hah

Thank you Dan ... now to figure out which one to use!

hah

The tall base has Ford script with PN T 7316 A1.
The small one is not Ford, however, has the same part number barely legible of PN T 7316 A1.

Same part number different height? What do these go to? What gives?

Thanks,
John.

hah

Could you post measurements of the position of data plate.

hah

Was viewing thread in vehicles for sale. A green 26/27 coupe. It has a starting problem. Someone stated might be grounding issue. Another says why 26/27 they have a ground from engine to frame. My question would be where is this ground?

hah

OS car is improved..... looking for options. Could saw it off and weld another or could weld and fit to 1-1/4. Not sure which path Is all ball ends made of the same material or did they change during a particular year? If I go the welding route it is a good idea to know what metal I am welding? Than...

hah

Been prusing past post regarding ball ends. I would like to know what type of metal the originals were made of?

hah

I have what I believe is an August of 1926 vehicle. It had remanence of nickel on a couple of head bolts. However, no indication of nickel on water in/outlet. Has studs in block. Just trying to figure it out as I go along. As Johnny 5 says ,"need input"!
Thank you,
John.

hah

Dan, regarding the July 26, 1926 letter. Do you think this is the start date or it may have taken some time to inact this switch of policy?

hah

The vaporizer carb started July 19, 1926 and I also read "late" 1926 for the bolts. Just trying to pin point it further.

hah

Does anyone know what month in calender year 1926 the cylinder head and water in/outlet bolts were rounded and nickel plated?

hah

Ya, you measure it with a yard stick! he-he-he!
