How about modifying a MG-TD tank, or similar?

Not really blastfamy if you modify it. Repops are out there.

Thank you John.

Frontyboy, are they the exact same casting? Jeff

These springs look too long for the application.

I have one stubborn door latch that will only open halfway.

Is there a picture or article about these things?

I have it apart, and something seems off. It has two springs and a pin, but seems to bottom out early under compression.

Email sent.

Mr. Winfield would be flattered,

He would also want some $$$.

AND, he would say " I have a better design now."

No problem Allan.
Makes me feel better about them.

Model T Fords are still the cheapest car hobby car. Brassworks, Rootlieb, Ray Wells, Chaffin, Lang, Snyder, Berg, Dan, Manachi, Pharis, many more made that happen. Try buying a new Jag radiator or a Ferrari fender at these prices. I bought my low round tube radiator from a kid fresh out of high scho...

The sad part is that body will be warped big time.

Last year I restored a 68 E Type for a dear friend. My UK buddy brought the entire set of wiring harnesses back in his c...

A friend in the UK bought them and arranged the shipping.
He imports Corvettes and parts, so he knows all the ins and outs.
The tubes came over in his carry on luggage last flight here.

I received my 5 tires and tubes today from UK.
$1800 all in.

Find the nearest club and join. You need eyes on.

I remember green as well.

The issue with honeycomb radiators is that you cannot rod them out.
Take off the radiator and use a hose in the top to watch the flow out. If it backs up easily there is the issue.

Mine have been stuck in Kentucky since Friday. Have yet to hear about a bill.

Mark. The Blockneys. Are they marked " Made in the UK."?

Mr. Devine,

How about "recycling" dip stick material from junk yards? Sounds like that might be a win/win situation, OR NOT.

I spit my Coke out thinking of walking into a junk yard and saying, " I want to buy all your dipsticks from any cars."

If the pump flows more than the radiator can handle.......

Soldered in these two beads.

Yes, this one does. I have no idea how many.

Just use a narrow band again.

I would be tempted to braze them like the oil pan.

" Nothing runs like a dear Ford."

It will only get worse then lock up. Not fun.

I had a rebuilt seize maybe 40 years ago. Inner pinion sleeve shattered. Hence, my guess. There were some bad ones around once.

Click on their name. Scroll down to what you wish to do
and click on it.

Yup. Something is broken. Time to crack it open.

My guess? Pinion bearing inner sleeve.

They both have feedback scores of 10 or less. That means " newbie." I never buy from sellers that new. Bad ju ju.

You got it Charlie

One way to avoid this is for an Australian to find someone going to the USA for a holiday or business. and have them take it over and post itonce there. I always have items I purchase on ebay sent to a Model T friend in California (postage is far cheaper than sending to Australia) My son goes every...

One last time.

May I ask where you obtained it? Just curious. Not many around.

And a fuse. See yellow to starter switch wire.
Necessary as safety glass IMHO.

I used a fusable link to make it a tad more stealthy.

Explains the yeller wheels.

Your going to beat me to paint Mark.

I'm still fixing errors from years ago, but I will finish this car.

Save that 10 gallons to reuse. Mine lasts about a year of dipping parts

Flush evaporust with plenty of water to remove any film.

Just let it air dry outside a few days days. Blow some air thru it.

This is what TCP coatings told me

Still digesting all this. I have a few weeks of stuff to do first.

The short answer from the land of only water based base coat clear coat is, that crap doesn't look right on older cars. IMHO. 1980 or so the fenders, splash, r boards, rad shell, blah blah we're Acrylic Laquer and color sanded/ buffed, look nice. (Still). A little touch up required. Easy with lacque...

There were Cooper cut outs reproduced at one point.
I'll see if I still have one.

Allan, I have an email sent to Evercoat to verify compatability.

So far, it is meant for bare metal, but epoxy primer first is okay. Self etching primer is a no no. I'll post what they respond

Make sure you have 4 qts oil in it, handle crank a few minutes to move the oil, and go ahead.

Mr Whiteman is spot on. Is it a PITA? Yes.
Stalling all the time is worse.

At least drain it, pull off the sediment bowl and snoop around.

Shine a flashlight in there. No drop cords.

We may never know… the average electric car ownership is currently only 3 years, compared to 12 years for gas powered. With the average car loan being 5-7 years these days, apparently the true goal of “clean propulsion” is to maximize consumer debt…?! I have a 2013 Volt . Runs and looks new. Nice c...

Just curious, have you guys EVER checked a block for cracks, and found NONE.
Yes it was a 1927 Model T Block.

That's great. That's one out of...........?

To me they have always been a crapshoot.

Just curious, have you guys EVER checked a block for cracks, and found NONE.

When I did mine, no one made them, so I rolled the dice. It had a crack, but I had it grooved out and welded. National Crankshaft reground it and a stock EE crank the same size as back up. Plan B They then did dynamic balance with rods and pistons, flywheel, blah blah That was 48 years ago. But, und...

Time will tell.

"Until you have to replace the clutch. I think the first part to go on the assembly line was the clutch, then they built the car around it." Heater core. But yes, C5,6,7 clutch is a royal PITA. I always tease my Vette buddies the torque tube and transverse spring design is 100 years old tech. :lol:

I would use .025" with timer/ coils.

With a distributor I would use .035".

With a magneto, I would start at .035", and see if it works well, If .030" is required, your mag is lame.

I don't see what carbs have to do with ignition.

It's impervious to gas and alcohol.

Not an issue. Jeff

Okay Morgan, All 6v coils seem to be 1.5 ohms primary, which make since. 6volts/1.5 ohms =4 amperes. Two coils in parallel will give you .75 ohms load, so .75 ohms in ballast is required to limit the current to 4 amperes at 6 volts. Standard motors VC-14 seem to be the ticket. They are blue now, but...

.....and resist the urge to follow down every Rabbit Hole people will inevitably point you toward.

THIS ^^^^^

I cannot tell you how many times a thread on Corvette Forum starts with a bad plug wire, and by the end everyone says pull the engine.

It's just something stupid simple as Scott said.

I will also ask for the adapter and long reach plug if anyone has spares of either.

I just found one in my stash.

Lower price

The capacitor will probably need to be increased. Since coil inductance in Henry's is not published, we may have to experiment.

Points. You'll need two 3 ohms 6v coils and a 1.5 ohms ballast resistor. I'll draw it up.

(Your speedo cable shipped Monday).

Sorry, I was thinking points. With a Hal sensor, I would use 12 volts.
