My registration has been paid for over a year since last spring was canceled. They put me in the back left corner next to the Johnny house in October. I thought it was going to be a horrible spot when we got there but it ended up being fantastic! Stop by and see us on your way to the latrine. Buy so...

Jonah, On the tail of the engine. Typically used on stationary power plants. The units with the drums make it so a belt can be attached to used to power various accessories like washing machines, grain mills or silo feeds. Some have used them to run ice cream churns. I’m in favor of the latter. Cert...

Are these made for the Ford/ Tiger timers?

Brad

It’s because of those fancy new body blocks!

Brad

I’d say mig/tig will be most helpful with focus on mig. Oxy/acetylene will be very helpful too. Not so much welding with it but using the torch properly for heating parts to easily bend back into shape or installing solid rivets like what’s used in the frame. The torch is also used should you decide...

I have a set of original ford script 0.0025 OS cast pistons I took out of my 27 TT engine. They should clean up pretty good. You can have them for $15 plus whatever the shipping will be. I’m pretty sure you can get a set of 0.010 OS rings and file them to fit the cylinders.

Brad

Let me check the garage and I’ll let you know.

Brad

I have some parts and a whole trans.

Here’s the clip with a measurement.

Come on up Hank! Luray has yet to disappoint me!

I’ll check here shortly.

Still looking.

I’ll take #13.

These are the ones I need.

I’m looking a single, or pair if good, usable rear TT spring clips. My chassis was missing one when I got it. I use PayPal and can send a check/USPS money order.

And the after!

Before and after! Went and picked up the short block for my 27 TT today with my uncle. Cylinders bored 0.040 over to be fitted with new aluminum pistons, rod journals 0.030 under and the mains are 0.025 under. Sadly it’s the first and only time this crank will be ground but hopefully it’ll have a lo...

FOUND! Thanks Richard!

Brad

Good morning everyone. I’m looking for a good set of TT brake rod supports. The ones that mount onto the radius rods. They don’t need to be perfect just not rusted through. I’m PayPal ready or can send a check/ USPS money order if preferred. Please call or text me anytime at five4zero7six1two3zero3....

Thanks Steve. Still can’t figure why my phone flips the pictures sometimes. Yes Dan the top left is one of the repops but it’s stamped and not one of the cast aluminum types.

Thank you to all who have contributed to my addiction! I was able to find another two keyboards that I didn’t know existed. That now leads me to another question. Other than these, what other keyboards were made? Surely someone has something different hanging on their wall. At this point I’m just ge...

And the wheels. Nice New Zealand Firestone whitewalls should last for a while. Picked these up in Kentucky for a STEAL. Oughta give a cool final look when they’re all cleaned up and mounted.

Brad

Rear wheel adapters are done! Setup to run 19” Model A wire wheels with enough clearance so that I can run disc brakes without any interference. The bolts through the back side have a shorter head than the stock nut so nothing will rub there either even when I do the final assembly with lock washers...

Mine came in today and it promptly got filled and took its place next to its friends!

Brad

What size are the pilots?

Brad

More pictures.

I think I’ve solve my problem that is a terrible supply of 20” TT wheel parts. When I got my 27 TT the rear wheels were in terrible shape. Namely the rims. I’m pretty sure you could read the news paper through most of the rust holes. So I thought I’d just get a better set. Now I’m positive that rims...

Joe,

Once found, he intends to buy it.

I’m about to buy a $100 eBay 15 gallon fuel cell and just make some brackets for it. It’s the same general measurements as the oval tank but not oval and has an extra 5 gallons of capacity. Only issue is they’re top feed so you’d have to tig weld a new bung in the bottom so the gravity feed works. E...

Sorry rich all of mine are ball bearing. I thought I had some of the others but they must have run off.

I can pop a set out of an old hub today. Do you want ball bearing or timken taper style? Send me a pm or email at bkirtner@gmail.com.

Brad

Save the money and buy the ECCT. By far the superior system.

My 2¢
Brad

I’m running the “cheap” Universal brand tires, rubber stem tubes and flaps on my speedster. Probably have over 3000 miles on them and they still have their tits from the mold. Little wear showing and they run true. Wearing evenly too. That also has a lot to do with proper alignment of the front and ...

Ok so I’ve decided to run a model a manifold setup and carb on my TT. The manifold kit is on its way and I have a Model A Marvel carb ready to rebuild. My block is the later 27 with no hole between cylinders 2 and 3. I would like to set it up to run the throttle off of the column rod so I’m just won...

Welcome Bradley, you've come to the right support group
I don't think I'd refer to this as a support group for his illness.

More like a group of enablers.

Don,

In this case I think I need enablers more so than not!

What size replacement cast iron pistons were available from ford back in the day?

It’s been a busy week and I realized that I had e updated this post in a while so here it goes. Upholstery and all glass pieces are in. The rear axle is apart and partially rebuilt. It looks so good I almost want to just keep looking at it. New differential bearings, bolts and one of those fancy 5:1...

Good talking to you Tim! I’ll send the check today.

Brad

I had the same problem when I got my TT. When I took the tires off, the rims all but fell apart. So that got me thinking about another direction. Now we’re making up a set of adapters to run 19” wire wheels all around the the truck. 19” tires are way cheaper than those 20” options.

Just my 2¢
Brad

Sure is. Good stuff to work with and will almost last forever.

Brad

Hot off the work bench. I have multiple sets of Closed Cab TT body blocks for sale. These body blocks are made off of factory Ford drawings. Since these trucks are nearing one hundred years old, there may be some slight fitting required but hopefully not much. They line up nicely on my 1927 TT chass...

My 27 TT came with an early TT axle that has two spider gears instead of the later four. All of the differential parts look good aside from case bolts that will be replaced. As big as these things are, is there any reason that I shouldn’t rebuild it and find a later axle just because the 4 spider ge...

Mine are round about 0.561”. So +-0.002 would be nice.

10-32 is the trick. Picked up some Phillips heads from the Big box store so I can button up the door until I can get to the local hardware to get the oval flat heads. Thanks guys!

Just go get a bucket of the red stuff from the parts store. I think it’s labeled as wheel bearing grease. Good stuff to have on hand.

Can anyone confirm that the screws that hold on the door glass trim are #8 fine thread? I’m finally installing the glass channels and glass in my doors and the screws seem a little loose. I’m hoping they don’t need to be retapped larger.

Looks like a Dodge sedan to me. It’s big. In my google findings, it seems that only Dodge had the cowl light, vent and body line under the window somewhat matching the picture. I could be wrong but that’s my 3¢.

If the bush seized on the pin and it spun in the flywheel, there was not enough clearance. This is one place where looser is better. I aim for .004"+ difference between pin and gear bushing bore. .005" is better than .003" Others may differ. Allan from down under. I just set mine up with 0.004+ish ...

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!

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.

I did not. Nothing in spam either.

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.
