Give Bob a call over at Bob’s antique auto. He’s the one making the new pins. I just installed a set in my trucks flywheel. Nice machining and they installed very well. The end of the pin is slightly oversized to make up for the wear of driving the old pins out.

I know an old guy Thad does civil war and revolutionary war re-enactments and gave me a little advice on how to make new brass buttons and such look old and worn. Stick it in a bucket and pee on it! For those of us not quite that brave, I guess some ammonia or vinegar will work well. As to how long ...

I found a set of E&J 466’s a few years ago on Facebook marketplace listed as rat rod lights. A guy had them on a t bucket and wrecked it, moved and left them in the garage for the next owner to sell them to me for a cool $40. Let’s just say the payday on those was very nice.

Brad

I’ll take it.

Brad

I did not. Nothing in spam either.

Thanks Ron!

Good afternoon everyone! I’m looking for two nice escutcheon plates for my 27 closed cab TT. PayPal ready as well as check or money order. Please email, text or call. Sometimes the pm system doesn’t forward.

Thanks

Cool find! Seems like an easy way to use original looking parts to run turn signals. Assuming you can find bulbs and sockets to fit them.

Brad

Are these for TT rear express fenders?

If only it had the shifter with linkages and the rear plate.

Brass instruments were my bread and butter when I worked in a local musical instrument repair shop a few years ago. Should be a fairly easy fix. The downside is, unless you paint it, the repair will definitely be visible.

My 2¢

I have a newer repop if you’re interested.

One of these days I need to take a trip down to your shop Hank. May be the first long trip For the TT when it gets done! Thanks for not giving up on us young guys!

Brad

To the top.

So something has been nagging in the back of my head for a while. When I got my TT all body work and paint had been done. On a whim, I decided to go up to that attic and unwrap one of the front fenders and sure enough no mounting holes have been drilled and the mounting brackets haven’t been install...

What year? I’m pretty sure the vinyl is only supposed to cover the middle wood sections and cut off right at the top iron. Here’s the only decent picture I have on hand. Looking at the rear bow on a 23 roadster. The vinyl stops at the bow.

$100 shipped.

Now I need one of those!

Bought a bunch of gaskets yesterday so I had to finish a project I’ve been wanting for a while. Just wish there was a spot on the poster for head gaskets and the hogshead felt. I didn’t realize there were that many in there. Plenty of those hard to find copper head gaskets too! Now to find enough wa...

My uncle popped in to help me tonight. I got the top windshield frame back from paint yesterday and got all of the glass set. The top is hung and now I’m ready to move on to the doors as soon as the felt channels come in. The rear window may get set tomorrow if I don’t find something to get sidetrac...

Essentially yes, but the earliest '13 covers had a different clutch shaft to which the yokes were keyed and bolted. Later ones were pinned to the shaft and riveted over.

RV, is this one like you’re talking about?

Brad

I’ve got a real nice one going on my 27 TT project. I really like the bigger light housing. My lens says “STOP” on the top part when lit.

Brad

Hank what keeps the axle from sliding in and out other than a press fit and woodruff key? Looks like tight quarters to get one of the ring keepers in there.

SOLD THANKS MTFCA!

Yes it was.

Brad

I saw a guy use one on a speedster tour last year. They’re quick and very quiet. Cool little units. He seemed very pleased with it.

Brad

I need two good tires for my uncles roadster. They don’t need to be perfect just good enough to drive for a while.

Please call or text me at 54zero76one2303

Thanks!

To my knowledge, the only thing available right now in the “kits” is the cobra long grain material. I prefer the smooth material used on the open cars. As far as what’s supposed to be there, I have no idea. I haven’t seen a complete original truck with the original top still intact.

Brad

I used a nice leather grain tonneau cover from a truck bed. It was a blemished product from years ago. The area of material I used wasn’t damaged at all. Way cheaper than the cobra grain plus I really don’t like the cobra grain material. I do agree that it’s better. It’s definitely thicker and made ...

Rod, I believe it was mine. Here’s the link. Feel free to message me if you need anything. That’s mostly my fault. I changed the title to TT Progress.

Duey, it doesn’t hang persay. It has four support “rods” two on top and two on the bottom. The two on top slide into slots made between the top and bottom panel seams. The two on the bottom are held in by bolts through the bottom panel. These are the best pictures I can get. The truck is too black a...

My classtique upholstery kit came in yesterday and my uncle and I spent most of yesterday installing it. Fantastic product and Mike has some of the best customer service skills I’ve ever seen.
