I had same issue... I used West System Marine Epoxy, need to use the SLOW activator. Also spread old fashion PLAY DOE around the top nipple & the flats of the mating surface of the spoke. The play doe won’t let stain or epoxy in that area, simply chip away after it dries.

Tim: I will take one Rajo oil indicator, message to email sent.
Thanks

Another great tribute to Jack a wonderful gentleman. Too bad I couldn’t make it this year, looks like everyone had a great time. I hope to participate next year with my recently finished C cab truck.

Tom, very nice truck... I have a 24 C cab w/ wood bed kit, trying to figure out a rear fender that will work. Looking at your vehicle, I think that is the style I need, can you give me some details of what you used. Thanks John Oscoda Michigan

Floor boards & seats removed for transport. Going to remove trans cover today and check band conditions. This vehicle is a fresh build with more driving in the last few weeks than before, with no problems. The next day after unloading, let vehicle idle on driveway, then normal reverse and forward op...

I do have a warford, but have been driving around for a time, no problem. Can oil level in sump change because of bouncing during towing & oil level stabilized during warm up on level surface.

After a 400 mile transport on flat bed trailer, no reverse, had to push off trailer. Reverse working the next day after a slight warm up in drive. Any thoughts? Thanks

Like I posted , using POR -15 on my spring leaves before assembly the smooth surface is working very well with no squeaking . It’s the closest product you can get,short of power coat & it brushes on. They offer chassis, engine, heat resistance coatings in many colors. Can’t say enough about this pro...

When I assembled my springs, I painted them with POR -15, will last for years and NO SQUEAKING.

Thanks everyone for all information . Will be renting a U Haul open car hauler.

Has anyone had experience towing a T on a U Haul open trailer? Comments welcome!

I used POR 15 with very good results, but you need to follow the directions. Sand blasted frame,then prep with their cleaner and used their prep to etch the metal, brushed gray base coat,then brushed on their chassis black, both products flow out well. Did the same on engine and trans, the engine pa...

I used a heavy flat file & air die grinder with a coarse 3M pad. Installed rear hdy disc brakes, had to cut and true drums along with grinding linings to get drums to slide on and turn freely.

I have the same problem, it took a lot of time sanding down the lining .. got a sweet spot at the lever w/ the rear levers position correct. Hope the conditions improve over time, but the hand lever doesn’t have the travel that is normally observed. Thanks for opinions..

I am running disc brakes w/safety hubs, the install of hubs easy. The install of brakes straight forward,except the drums were warped badly because of heat during welding. Had to have drums turned quite a bit, and shaping the new brake lining and trying to find some one that still have the equipment...

I have hardwood floor boards for my 24 C cab on back order with Langs for almost 2 years. All ways have had good service and parts from them but wondering if there is a different option, or someone that has prints so I can make them myself, when I need them in spring. Thanks for any help.

I will take 2 of them ( nicest ones I hope). Will send P.O. Money Order, please send info to my email- johnngloria5@gmail.com
Thanks John M. 1924 C Cab,Oscoda Michigan

I have used POR -15, very good product, brush on, or spray on, bulletproof, flexible, etc- used by auto restoration pro’s.Web site very informative

I have used both products for years, Sea Foam is very good but is used as a fuel cleaner, also can be used in oil to clean crankcase. Sta Bil is used as a fuel treatment for off season storage, but it will only last 1 season & needs to be redone for the next season.

I installed a foot throttle ,after warford also - works very well & easy to install , purchased it form Texas T Parts at the time , I think it is still available through Bird Haven supply.

I like synthetic grease , it stays put , doesn’t separate and run all over , I buy at auto zone it’s in green/ yellow tube ( don’t remember brand name) use large tube & use the whole tube. I also use it on all chassis grease points.
