Also, I have this steel one currently on the car.
1915 vintage?
I would trade or sell this towards one that is correct for ‘13.
What is it worth?

GEmering

Not 1913 but is this an original?

Thanks to everyone for all of the information.
I have a copy of the judging guidelines, so know what to look for.
Am I correct that none of the repros have the 'made In USA" stamped in them?

I would like to purchase an original 1913 brass oil cap in good condition.

Thank you,

I am finishing up the rear end and driveshaft rebuild on the ‘24 Touring and simultaneously and slowly gathering parts for the ‘13 Touring project. After removing what was left of the well-worn top, I have bows that have seen better days. I have received a recommendation for new bows from a member h...

GEmering

I see that Snyder’s Sells a set of 4 1913-1914 Touring bows for $310.
Has anybody here used these?

The front top bow on my 1913 touring is not tight in the sockets and can be wiggled up and down by hand. The curved part of the bow shows cracking. What is the best way to reinforce the bow and tighten it in the socket? Would something similar to J B weld or epoxy help? Thanks for helping someone wh...

GEmering

I’ve been watching this thread from a distance, because my 1913 Touring has one demountable rim on the passenger side rear.
It seems that ND rims are not plentiful.
Do many who tour regularly and are not interested in show judging convert to all demountable rims?

Good luck R V!

I have read the “1913-14 Gaslight” thread with great interest. I have a carbide tank on my 1913 touring but nothing else. I am going to try the McMaster-Carr red hose for now, but can someone recommend a source for the correct pipe and clamps? Also, is there a good diagram or photographs that show w...

So sorry to hear this.

Just a curiosity question from a wannabe mechanic or maybe closer to a non-mechanic pretending to be one... If you replace a worn pinion gear is the ring gear normally replaced too? Would a brand new pinion gear and good but somewhat used ring gear not mesh as well as both new? I am in the process o...

GEmering

Tim,
Thank you for the tip.
I do have one original screw that will not hold so the epoxy idea is a good one.

Gene

PS
Sockets are original and already drilled.

Thanks again!

Thank you R.V.!

I purchased new leather straps that connect the top irons with T head pins when in the down position on a 1913 touring.
I would like to find 4 correct screws that attach the straps to the irons.
Does one of the vendors sell these screws or does someone happen to have extras to sell?

Funny Ed, I was having a flashback of stealing my mom's new broom in the late '60's, cutting off the sweeping end, and using some of my dad's black electrical tape to make a stickball bat. We'd spray paint a rectangle with both diagonals for a strike zone on the wall of the local high school (JFK Pa...

I waited thirty years to buy my first T. Taking my time and enjoy the journey on the rear end rebuild. Three years ago, I did not know the difference between a muffler and carburetor. I had to keep reminding myself that clockwise was tighten and counter-clockwise loosen. It took me a long time to st...

I was looking for a cheap one that was maybe not needed any longer.

Thank you Kim!
I will send an email.

Gene

Adam,
You are correct.
Unfortunately, I need them.

GEmering

Good idea Hank.
I was thinking about contacting Kim if none show up.
I missed a pair on here last summer.
I wasn't sure how many pairs might be out there on shelves etc.
My father-in-law is a retired machinist that still dabbles now and then.
He'd help me make a pair if we had a template.

Gene

GEmering

I noticed that over 300 members looked at this thread and no comments.
I was hoping to get a lesson on early Ts regarding what's original and what's not.
Maybe a lot more photos needed?
No interest other than that.

Gene

Steve,
Thanks for looking!

I would like to find an original and correct bezel in good condition as pictured.
As you can see from the second photo my car is missing this item.

Great news!

GEmering

John, Ed Fuller's post (above) enlightened me as to why the brass covers on the interior side of the hinge would not screw or turn off. Answer - They're covers that just pull off revealing a nut that can be loosened. A couple turns of the nut with a 19/32 wrench and we're now in business! Thanks aga...

What I’ve learned trying to get the upper windshield frame to raise on my 1913 Ford Touring. 1) I am not too bright 2) I am not that smart 3) I don’t have any idea what I’m doing I have repeatedly soaked the hinges with creeping oil. I tried to turn the slotted bolts on the outside of the hinges on ...

Thank you for the great advice, Dan and Tim!

Hey Tim,
You collect and restore phonographs, yes?
I collected and restored antique phonographs for 30+ years before getting interested in Model Ts.

Should the #9 raven wood screws that are used to mount the speedometer to the firewall be strong enough to hold this clock?

Thank you,
Gene

GEmering

Got it with this.

GEmering

What do I use to remove what looks like a flat square head set screw?
Unless the slotted head is broken off???

GEmering

Thank you Hank and Tim.

GEmering

Can someone let me know if this clock comes apart for mounting?
I’m guessing that the base can be pried off and I’m not missing a mounting bracket.
I would rather ask first before doing damage.

These two bolts of material were wrapped up and in the backseat of the ‘13 Touring I purchased last summer.
There was a piece of masking tape marked 1915 Touring on one of the two pieces.

Wanted for my July '13 Touring - Stewart & Clark Model C Speedometer

Thank you,

GEmering

From what I've read the correct speedometer head for my July '13 Touring would be a Stewart and Clark Model C.
Is the head marked Model C anywhere?

I've seen a number of the earlier Model 26 heads but have not seen a Model C up close.

Thank you,

Gene

Great footage and very enjoyable. A wonderful glimpse into days gone by. This is just a curiosity question and may be somewhat rhetorical.

GEmering

What is the best way to attach the data plate (smaller version) to the firewall?
I assume that mine is a reproduction as it is not stamped?

It has 4 small holes in the corners but is it easier to attach with double-sided tape?

Thank you experts.

Stay safe!
Gene

GEmering

Thank you John

GEmering

Once working well, is it necessary to loosen/tighten with a screwdriver when changing position from up to down or visa versa?
Or does that larger nut (for lack of a better term) on the inside loosen and tighten the windshield?

Thank you, John and Scott, for the other valuable tips.

I saw a cardboard sign inside a T that was part of a small local gathering that read:

I am looking for a very good 30 X 3.5 non-demountable rim (no pitting, warping, or sharp edges) and a center hub that I can use to have a new rear wheel built for a 1913 Touring.
