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 have not tried to raise the upper windshield on the 1913 Touring that I purchased last summer.
I’ve oiled the hinges with Kroil and let them sit for a few days.
Does anyone out there have a similar set up?
I do not want to force anything.

Thank you,
Gene

Ditto
Beautiful!

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

1915 Model T Ford
Loved By/Hated By
(Owner's name)

I thought that about summed it up.

Nice three-passenger T you got there!
It looks like a great time.
Enjoy the rides!

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.
I would also consider an entire rear wheel.

Thank you,

You are the best Hank!

GEmering

I am missing three screws that secure the metal garnish molding trim pieces to the top of the doors as pictured on my 1913 Touring.
I’d like to find original screws if possible.
If not, do the venders sell correct size repros?

Wishing all MTFCA members a very Blessed Christmas and a Happy & Healthy New Year!

Bob, Thanks for the reply and photo. I have the same tank (I should've written "round" and not oval. A previous owner did the same thing to my seat platform so I'll have to address that at some point. My tank is back in and all tightened down. I had to loosen the straps temporarily on both ends and ...

GEmering

Thanks Scott.
I meant round.
Past my bedtime of 9:30 lol.

Thanks again,
Gene

GEmering

I removed and cleaned the oval gas tank from my 1913 Touring. The old hardware was mismatched so I got new bolts, castellated nuts, and cotter pins. Do the bolts push into the brackets from the bottom or down from the top? Seems like down from the top with the castellated nuts exposed would make it ...

GEmering

I just tested my "24 Touring.
I'm good to minus 40 F.
The '13 is drained completely.

Terrible news and a grim reminder of how careful we all must be when driving 100+ year- old machinery.

Peter,
Great project!
You are very talented.
What's the equally beautiful brass car next to the speedster?
Can you post a picture of that vehicle too?

Best regards and good luck!

Gene

GEmering

Can someone much more knowledgable than I help identify this single top bow with irons?
This single bow was mixed in with the set of four that came with my 1913 Touring.

Thanks to anyone who can help!

Gene

GEmering

What a wonderful vehicle.
I wonder what's under the hood?
It can't be 20 hp, can it?

Gene

My wife’s nieces were waiting for me to come home from work to sit in the ‘13 and then take a drive in the ‘24.

I am #26.
It was great meeting Steve and the other MTFCA members.
I truly enjoyed my first trip to Hershey in 33 years.

I would like to rebuild the carb on my 1924 Touring.
The carburetor is a Duplex Improved manufactured by Simmons.
I would like to find and buy a new needle and seat.
Can anyone help point me in the right direction?
Langs does not have.

If I do all of that, when will I have time to drive?

I have a Duplex Improved Carburetor on my 1924 Ford Touring.
It seems to supply good power but being fairly new to Model Ts have no basis of comparison.
Just wondering what others who have this brand think of this carburetor.

A reminder to all MTFCA members. If someone is selling a car long distance and only sends a single photo- red flag #1 If you right click on an image and select “Google Search” your computer will return all the places the image has appeared on the web. This particular car is supposed to be in Houston...

GEmering

A photo would help!!!

Does anyone recognize this car as belonging to a member of this forum?
Possibly located in Houston, TX.

Thank you,

I spoke to a local HCCA and MTFCA member, Gil F. (from NJ) on Sunday.
He said he was going to participate with his Curved Dash Olds.
I'd love to see a photo of his car in action.

Best of luck and many safe miles to all participants.

The diamond pattern would certainly indicate pre-17.
The larger spring is the correct length (L to R) for the back seat of my '13 touring but too long front to back.

Larry,
I have Bruce's book.

I'm new to the hobby and saw this lamp specifically advertised for an early T (1909-1912 which should be all brass).
I thought it was for a "13 based on what I've read/researched.
Just wanted to verify, as it was specifically advertised differently.
