Your TT is looking great and thanks for the nice detailed photos you provided! I was looking at your engine photos and I missed seeing the internal oil line that runs from the front to the back of the engine. I’m sure it’s in there but sometimes it gets overlooked and forgotten about. I’ve been the...

This one took some brain power. Finally figured out how to run the throttle control with the Model A carb without a hole through the block since it’s a late 27. Lokar cable and some flat bar. Remember kids, a grinder and paint makes the welder I ain’t!

Swanky new shift knob with the Twin High logo.

Engine installed with new exhaust run.

Front axle finished and installed.

It just occurred to me that I haven’t posted an update in a while so here we go. Rear axle was reassembled and installed with the Twin High transmission.

I added one when I swapped my vaporizer for a stromberg. The only fit and finish problem I had was the throat casting width at the bottom flange was a little too wide to clear a socket on the mounting bolts. One side cleared the bolt but the bolt on the other side scrubbed the side of the casting. O...

Brad

Yup, it’s a boot scraper! Standard on the later TT’s.

Brad

Finished installing stevens bushings on one front axle. I have a few more to go to have replacements ready to go on the shelf. Reaming takes a hot minute but it’s one of the best tools I’ve bought in a while.

Brad

Been there, done that. New shafts are hard to come by at the moment. I think I bought the last one any supplier had back in February and found another from a forum member. Texas T says that have a batch in the works though!

Brad

Are you in martinsville va? If so, I’m over in Salem. I bought a new ruckstell from chaffins. Planning on building it here pretty soon for my 24 touring.

If you look at the spring perch nuts, they’re scripted too.

The carrier bearings were absolutely shot. Outer hyatts fell apart. The sleeves were oddly in good shape. Someone had added a collar around the axle shaft to keep the outer bearings in. Worn out in odd places. Axles were in good shape as we’re the gears. I swapped the worm and ring with a high speed...

When I rebuilt my 27 TT column, I had to take some fine emery cloth to the pins to get the gears to spin freely and not bind. It has something to do with the black oxide coating on the gears. Wrap some merry cloth around a small dowel and clean up the inside of the gear hole too. All made for a tigh...

A good press and an 11/16” socket sure do make quick work of old rusted TT shackle bushings. Let’s hope the new bushings fit good and snug after I clean all of the dirt and grime out of the holes!

Brad

Just when I thought I had the jump in keyboards…… Guess I went to sleep too early last night!

I have a couple auxiliary transmissions I’m installing in the coming months and I short one driveshaft. I’d really prefer new.

Finally got around to the rear axle housings today. Probably removed 15 pounds of filth and crud but they’re clean and in primer! I’m pretty sure there was about 2 quarts of sludged gear oil in the tubes.

Brad

I’ve found a few sets in early AA axles. As long as it’s still worm drive, they’re interchangeable. You can also just pull the back square cover off. With the worm gear bearing out, count the teeth. 6 teeth is high speed, 4 is low speed.

Brad

I came to an odd realization today. I’m building an OHV engine with deep sump pan for my 24 touring car. With that being said, a stock wishbone won’t fit on the pan. What have others used in this situation. I won’t be dropping or relocating the front axle it’ll stay at stock height and location. Doe...

Definitely PayPal. I’ll take a check from some people but if a check is sent, I prefer a postal money order. You can’t go wrong with cash at pickup either.

Swapped the vaporizer out in my 27 coupe for a Stromberg OF. Also replaced the failing exhaust pipe/muffler. Little steps.

Very nice set of 1912 torpedo rear fenders for sale. Probably won’t find a set in better shape. The passenger side is boxed up under the one in the pictures. Shipping will not be cheap so pick up in Salem, Va is preferred. $500. Feel free to call me anytime at 54zero-7six1-2three03.

Does anyone have any input or leads as to how this dual engine was made? I have a mad idea and spare parts!

The best way to deal with vaporizer problems is to put on an NH Holley from Russ Potter.

I’m running one of Russ Potters rebuilt Vaporizers on my 27 coupe. Looks brand new and runs like a dream. Probably one of the few with no issues.

As brother Hank said earlier, Tim is a straight forward guy. I’ve done “business” with him for years at this point. I’m have a few of his keyboards on my wall and one his gasket boards in the works. He has never failed to impress me and supported me in my indevours. He’s also supported my “habit” in...

It’s overkill but this engine is going in my TT. 280 cam, Prus head, model a manifolds, model a Marvel Schebler carb, buckeye 12v alternator and Wosp starter. The engine picture shows a stock generator that’s now on the shelf as a spare. Let’s not even begin to talk about the OHV engine I have in th...

I painted my speedster wheels with a brush and POR-15. Light “dry brush” coats are great. Covers very well. I’ll be painting my TT stake bed with rust oleum professional thinned down out of a horrible fright $10 sprayer. Thinned with acetone and an catalyst hardener, it’s still glossy and hard as na...

The only thing left is the timer. Contacts in it may be loose. If it’s a roller timer, the spring on the roller could be broken. If it’s a brush then it may be worn out. That’s the only other thing I can think of.

Brad

Installed some blasphemous modernizations on the TT motor tonight. Fancy Wosp starter and a Buckeye 12v alternator. Pretty soon this thing might drive itself……..

Looks like can be done in time to drive it to Luray next week!

That was my intent but this thing is just taking too long!

And just like that, we have a black frame!

Brad

By pulling the hogshead is the short answer. The pedal cam is riveted into the shaft from the inside.

Brad

Brad, I could see a lot of advantages to using a Model A Carb and manifolds. Is there anything special that you have to do to put it on a Model T engine? BTW. I have a closed cab like yours and needs a top. I am getting ideas from the work that you posted. Thanks so much! Matt I used the adapter pl...

I now have functional door handles and latches! Please excuse the Phillips screws they’ll be swapped out soon. Now onto finishing the frame and cleaning up the axles.

Brad

Frame and bed being blasted. I used a local guy that does dustless blasting. Nice finish surface.

Engine done!

I ordered my TT surestop kit directly from Texas T Parts in March and they arrived the next week.

Brad

Made some progress on the TT tonight. One thing that has plagued me from the beginning is the door handles and latches. My basket case didn’t come with any. I found a set of latches and just have the passenger side to finish. Now on to the handles. I bought the repop rough cast handles from the supp...

This was on my speedster but the rust oleum Hunter Green holds up well and if you want it a little darker I they sell the half pints of black to add in.

Update on my spare tire carrier project. I talked to the foundry the other day and they told me that the once the mold pattern is made it’ll be about a 3-4 week lead time until I get the carrier rough castings. Once I have those I’ll know what it’ll take to finish them. My hope is to have the end pr...

On paper, all 3 (stock) tire sizes have the same O.D. This does not consider oversize tires which are common on 30x3.5 & 21".

The 30x3.5 mounted on the blue roadsters carrier is oversized. Can’t use the running board plate but holds well otherwise.

Brad

I’m waiting on the casting foundry in town to give me a price but would anyone be interested in the accessory windshield stanchion mount with running board plate spare tire carrier? I’ve seen a few of them but even fewer with the running board plate. If my measurements are correct, you’d me able to ...

Bumpity bump to the top.

Brad

The last few engines I put together I did with the modern cam seal and didn’t use the felt or shield. All is good. Clean the timer housing when I think about it and go on with life.

Brad

Ford never called a coupe a doctors coupe. As far as a T is concerned, there is no such thing as a doctors coupe. If and only if a doctor owns said coupe, that changes things. Otherwise it’s just a coupe. This thread is from 2009. http://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages/80 ... 1240976188

Brad, if you go to a Model A-B-C manifold and carburetor, thoroughly read Bryant Shafer's Carburetor and Manifold post. A good point made in it, is that with a big change in air-fuel mixture requires or changes, too, if you don't want over carburetion response problems. As someone said, putting twi...

I’m going to be running Model A manifolds and a Marvel Schebler carb on my 27 TT. Does anyone have pictures of how they ran the linkage on an engine without the NH hole between cylinders 2 & 3? I’d rather not use a foot pedal and keep the column throttle lever. Thanks in advance!

Brad

I’m pretty sure the new bearings are made by SKF. Part number is 212-2Z.
