The only other thing I did was taper the end, so it worked as a wheel chock as well.

The RAJO ad shows up in a movie "Kid Speed" which co-stars Oliver Hardy. I initially thought this was a screen grab from that movie.

I'm guessing the drum belongs to the TT wheel, and the steel spokes are cut to an interference fit. The hooks and notched rim/fellow keeps the whole shebang together.

What number of teeth do you need? When I used to see NOS gears around, they were for 4:1 diffs or trucks. I don't think I have any drive pieces left, but may still have a brochure with the ratios listed.

Never out lamp/plate bracket
Tyre valve dust covers
Spare tyre carrier

Happy polishing

Column clamp.

(Are they originally shorter?)

Column top might be a headlight switch or a button for what may be an aftermarket horn on the running board (along with the two dog man)

Philip, there is no need to cut down the 26 brake drum.
It will fit fine with the 24 transmission cover and narrow brake band. Have this in my 25.

Our car runs domed pistons and a milled low head (might be an 1/8th?). Done thousands of miles like that. I'd still do the plasticine thing though.

I had an engine with similar symptoms.
Pulled the pan and things seemed tight.
Turned out it was the front main.
A blocked oil hole was the problem. (Low mileage "rebuild".)
I seem to remember a remetalled cap and rebluing the crank was the solution.
Hope this helps.

My BB is similar. It is set up for 8 x 18mm plugs.
It also has the blanking plate on the heater crossover.
I had a repro exhaust manifold and original down pipe, but the exit goes through plug 3.

I don't know if you remember Allan, but I owned one at Ballarat Swap for about 30 minutes. I sat at your site with it. A hit-miss bloke asked if I would sell it. I said no, I'd just bought it , he said what is your "silly price", and he bought it. Still a bit annoyed with myself. 😕 Ah well. Think it...

Well done Ian.
"Truly Fair" is a wonderful car, and along with Bob’s car, probably my two favorite Model T's.

I still run the "Henderson front spring". (Although it is now cleaned and painted.) The car John posted above is "Garden Art Engineering". The placement of the track rod is problematic, although it could catch the front end if the main leaf fails :shock: I was once told that the main leafs on these ...

This is the base trim level of Tarrant.
Next level up (Special? ) had full timber bows with brass fittings and scuttle vents, but still the import body.
Deluxe got the full custom body.
Interesting this car has fork mount lights with painted rims.

G'day Septics and others.
'Strine is not a written language, it is a force of nature, so throw some mystery bags on the barbie, grab a hunk of dodger, bang one on top, a dizzle of dead horse and she'll be right mate.

The rear mudguards have a reverse curve and it also has fabricated running boards.

Drove to work today.

The rusty one can't be 26-7 as there are no mudguard attachment points.

Hi Andrew,

Hi Terry,
It was "Fast Frank" with the proud crank.
I've often thought about it.

Here's a variation on the brass script Prefect cap and a later Fordson cap that will fit.

Hi Jem,
Here is another English T floor jack.
The "Ern Lake Ford Garage Jack"
I bought this on T-bay Australia about 6 or 8 years ago.
I found the GB patent for it (180327), but can't remember the details.
Bruce

Here is the complete set up.
It was operating the ruckstell in our 25. (Similar to what Allan saw)
It has LH and RH cast into each side and part Nos 2056 and 2057 stamped in.

Me too.

Bob,
These are pre 1975, so they will be Imperial volts, which are a little more than US volts. About 1.1 times I think.
Hope this helps.

Hey Wayne, Fast driving

Maybe 5/16.
Wild cherry II could perhaps use 5/8.
Keep the hammer down.
Yours in jest

Great Barn thinking, love it.

I'd consider a hose clamp or (being for a T) a couple of laps of baling /fencing wire just below the notch to mitigate against splitting.

My Livingston is a probably an early repro from the 70s?
Has Ford type core.

BTW Layden, your boxes aren't stacking well. I can help by getting rid of that awkward heavy lump on your floor

They have names but I don't use them much.
The old grey mare (25 Dalgety) is Rocinante.
Next to her sits Dapple the old faithful 17 van.
The 15 racer is Bucephalus.
I don't have a name for the (O.T.) 49 Holden yet.

My girls at a photo op on 2016 National rally. Wife, two daughters and the"Old grey mare" (Rocinante) at Pioneer Chapel, Poowong. Just a geat day.

Could I suggest that when making your signature, you add your name, so people using phones can see it. (The details panel isn't visible on mobile.)
Thanks, Bruce

doodlebugt

I noticed the same.
So I just put my name in my signature.
