Hi John,
12v would be good for another two of my applications with distributors.

I'm glad I am not the only one

dmdeaton

That would be nice if worked on a distributor also

dmdeaton

We have great tap water here in Hamilton Ohio also. The guns and ammo hoarding has begun too. Online ammo sales are all tapped out with prices almost doubled. I don’t get it either.

dmdeaton

Working today down in Cincinnati and went through the drive thru at frisch’s big boy. At the end of ordering she ask if we wanted any toilet paper. I think they are trying to help? She was serious. Made me laugh which helps in these times

dmdeaton

I may pull the hub again and check the key. It did slip once and I pulled it. Felt like it seated good the last time. I am also using your hubs Dan. They are fitting up fine and nothing binding

dmdeaton

Les It’s not that bad but I don’t want to pull threads any further by taking it to the next tooth. Seems too extreme. I may try a couple different nuts and see where they fall. I haven’t used a torque wrench yet, but will. I have had model A hubs off and on several times and the T is a little differ...

dmdeaton

This is wire wheel rear hubs. Do you tighten then back off to the nearest key slots? Seems to be a crapshoot with the course slots on the nut. I don't want to overtighten as threads on the axle are not the greatest shape. Also keyslots will not be deep enough to get a cotter pin into. Close, but may...

You guys are supposed to be grounded

dmdeaton

Don’t want to hi jack the thread, but good reading. What is the lash setting on these beasts? Stock cam or modified make a difference?

dmdeaton

The paint or powder coat is thick and will do all kinds of funny things when you first tighten the lugs. Trim the paint off the countersink and all is good. Off the wheel, not the lug nuts.

Don’t forget to lightly stone or counter sink your lug nut mounting surfaces to prevent cracking and chipping out the paint on those pretty rims.

Hank

thanks Hank, I do get in a hurry at times and need reminded.

dmdeaton

I wanted to pick up a Miller tig welder this week. Rebate on it till end of this month. I am on the fence spending the money now till this crap blows over

dmdeaton

What’s the consensus on bending the hub cap tabs? Punch and hammer? Dab of silicone to keep from rattling or will they be tight enough just bending?

dmdeaton

All finished but got in a hurry on the last one and pinched the tube

dmdeaton

Biggest pain is getting the valve stem started in the hole. Cannot find my cable tool to fish it through . The rest are going good now once I got my groove. Gone now cause I sat down

dmdeaton

Awesome studio Mark We just went into lockdown at midnight tomorrow in Ohio, don’t know what is different between that and now though. I am not retired, have my own electrical machine control business and need to work. Customers are canceling spending money till this blows over except for breakdowns...

dmdeaton

2 down

dmdeaton

And worrying about the universe. I’ve been putting this off for a while because it’s been cold and I don’t like changing tires. If I get somewhere without getting mad I will post the results. Wish me luck

We canceled our flights for a work trip in Dallas the last 2 weeks. Rented a car and drove from Cincinnati. Turned the rental in last night about 10pm and the airport parking lot was full. Lots of people still out and about.
stay safe all

dmdeaton

Im still working with my business. Trying to taper back spending on the hobby till this thing settles down. I still don't have time to work on my T with the business, but can spend a few on here keeping up.
stay safe,

dmdeaton

So how was it? Last one and I have never been. I’m too new to the hobby.

I think most are making light of the toilet paper hoarding, not the virus. I am very concerned and serious about the virus. We all need to hope it lessons with the warmer weather coming and this will let us get a handle on it.

dmdeaton

But Hank I was going to drop in for a surprise visit!!😳 If you need that much toilet paper, sanitizer, etc, You really need to make an appointment with your doctor or go to the ER. Years in the military, Bio-Warfare you must pretty much be fully covered. All orfices of the human body can allow a vir...

Everything in Ohio is shut down.

I hope it calms down by Hershey time

I am 60 and still travel to plants for my business. We canceled our flight to Dallas last week and drove. Nuts, no, but taking all precautions. After my travels would u like me coming to your club meeting? Not at all. I am still in Dallas till the end of next week. We try and eat where we think it’s...

dmdeaton

I am working in Dallas the next 2 weeks. Might have Sunday off. Is it a Sat Sun thing? I am from Cincinnati and just realized that I am pretty close to Chickasha

That’s what I thought it looked like but didn’t want to give a dumb guess
How much is that bad boy?

my bad, these are for converting carbide headlamps

dmdeaton

I think you were reading my mind. As I stated, I am more comfortable with the distributor. I have plenty of spare parts for the mag, but like all the perks u mentioned about the distributor.

I think Bob just posted a new LED conversion for these in the classifieds

I used the POR with my 2 tanks and all is well so far. I just don't like the idea of a epoxy liner. It works as good as you clean the inside surfaces. Like any other glue, paint, or epoxy, surface prep is the key. It is not like lining the tank with a plastic bladder, as you cannot see all the surfa...

dmdeaton

Can’t wait to get my speedster going

I have been through this with 2 model a tanks and if someone made new A tanks I would buy 2 and give them a hug. I am buying a new one for my speedster and not looking back.

Damn, I see now why I started this speedster thing. Very very cool and lots of fun. Thanks for the story.
I will be there soon.

dmdeaton

for some reason I just took a liking to these. Don't know why, they are just cool!! We need some reprints of those books!

Luke,
I haven't had a chance to compare your compiled file, but thanks for the effort so far.

dmdeaton

Between them and Snyders my credit card is smoking!!

dmdeaton

I have spent a few minutes searching online for the manual with no good results yet. Anyone have a link for a .pdf of the manual? Any good books published about mags?

dmdeaton

So the adapter plate determines the compression? I saw it in person and the pics still drive me crazy. Awesome

dmdeaton

I have a good stock hub and drum which I will swap out . That will tell the tale

dmdeaton

Good info Thanks Only one side I think I didn’t get a chance to pull it back apart yesterday Brake shoes are seated in clips and seam to pivot with the arms freely. One thing you hit on, I bobbed off the axle tubes to add Dan’s safety hubs. Could be binding on that with a combination of axle length....

dmdeaton

I start to tighten hub nuts and things get real tight. rebuilt differential, not by me. OEM axles. Can the hub taper be drawing up to bind on the sides of the brake shoes?
Is this the purpose of the taper shims I see the vendors sell? This would set the hub back a smidge towards the outside?

dmdeaton

Thank you sir

dmdeaton

Large drum rear brake setup
Does the pivot arm go up or down when you put the bands on. First one I’ve ever built and getting ready to bolt the hubs up so I can get some wheels on the ground.

I am just learning that we can tig with brass. AC or Dc and what gas is needed? I am a hack with my tig welder but this gives me hope. I guess I can ask my local supply house.
Thanks for the write up

A whole lot of stamped parts including rims are from my home town.

I agree, just clean the rust up and use as is. Drums are fairly cheap new or to find good used ones.

Wow, I haven't paid much attention to the B. I just started my T hobby 6 months ago. Wood body, and that engine, very cool. If you showed me that pic and asked me what it is, my last guess would be a Ford. Thanks, I have more reading to do.

I am 60 yrs old and still in the hoarding stage. I need parts for my next 20 projects on the list, 19 of which in my afterlife. I have my own business and am busy 24/7 like most folks. Some of the craftsmen that creates these parts work full time also. We get a little edgy when we cant get our parts...

dmdeaton

I have a 5 gallon bucket and its great for soaking things. Great for rusty tools. Soaked all my window regulators on my 30 fordor. That was the main reason I bought it. Worked like a charm.

dmdeaton

My inspectors are checking my work

dmdeaton

Yes, new set of rods and all the small parts. I will post more pics as I progress

dmdeaton

Left you a phone message

dmdeaton

We take brass sheet and anneal it so we can beat it into a buttplate for flintlocks. Easy to work but like you said, starts to harden back up after you work it.

dmdeaton

I love bringing this stuff back to life

dmdeaton

Cut the rods off. Going to clean this stuff up. Sandblast the rust and then anneal

dmdeaton
