If I found a oil pan jig missing all the parts are they still available?

In all these years of shuffling through Model T parts I have never seen one those.

I personally cut these off the frame of a mid 13 with a flat rear cross member. They are available.

does anyone reproduce these?

I lost a latch handle on the road somewhere, luckily the nut was on the running board. Does anyone have an extra?
Thanks

I have to say I like it. Vibration is minimal and it looks right. It will look better after I change these Phillips head screws and paint the bolts. Very satisfied.

Well I’ll soon find out, I ordered it. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Is anyone using this mirror? It looks pretty good but I’m tired of throwing money away on stuff that doesn’t work. I figured I would ask.
Thanks

Is this what you’re looking for?

I'm thinking I'm not going to be able to tow it from North Carolina to California, It would be a nice trip though!

Looking for a top kit for a commercial roadster. Classtiqe does not make them. Does anyone know of a kit or drawings?
Thanks

Does anyone know where I can find a kit or drawings for a 1910 commercial roadster top? Classtiqe does not make one. This is a late 10 early 11 body.
Thanks

Sent you an email

sent you a PM

Yes, what condition are you looking for?

just curious, what did you use to clean that thing with and get that finish on the cast body?

Looking for a set of these for an 11, the suppliers seem to be out.

I really like mine so far, they mount practically by hand. Absolutely do order two at a time, I had a few problems ordering five at once. They get hung up in customs and of course they will extort more cash from you.

I have this older reproduction. I really don’t know much about it.

how long should the threaded rivets be in the 1911 rear axle housing? Will 3/4 " work? I need to replace all of them inboard and outboard.
will these work?

I wish someone would reproduce those, I probably have a dozen that need it.

post them on here if you can, I have a 23 touring and would like to see them too.

I now have a Stromberg OF on my 23 touring. It seems to run good and I can tell a difference in low end power and performance. But I have never been in or near another T with one so I don’t know what it’s supposed to be like. Top end is not much different than the straight thru NH I had on it. What ...

where do i find the video's of the amp meter while the car is running ?

Look him up on Facebook, he’s giving a play by play

The Detroit had a large capacitor

It is the same, uses standard points.

I’ve restored probably a couple hundred coils and have never seen these before. One is marked Kingston with SPECIAL stamped in the end. The other is marked Detroit Coil Co.

that's it, Thanks

Well I saw that, in this world we live in I thought there may be a phone number.

How do I contact him?

Is there still a Stromberg OF manual available online? I have searched and can only find old links that don't work.
thanks

It worked, thanks

Any tricks I need to know to help get these screws out? These puppies are stuck!

Does anybody rebuild or sell parts for Stromberg's anymore? I have an OF I would really like to try.

Here is the contents of the cigar box. No starter Bendix parts. Most of these are single wire connectors. The majority appear to be NOS. I have got a lot of NOS parts from this man. Anyone recognize this horn button?

You never know what will show up at a house auction. This stuff is still around.

I used woodscrews, I couldn't find a definite answer either.

I wish there was a like button on here, That's beautiful!

sent you an email

How many do you need to make it worth the shipping? I can come up with 6-8, maybe a few more.

I have the pressed steel and the cast if you're still looking.

I picked up this pair to drain my compressor and just happened to notice the makers mark on one side and Ford on the other. I don't think I have seen a pair like these before. It looks like it says Herbrand, USA

I bought my first one when I was 19, I have been restoring them ever since and I'm 59 now. You never know what spark will start a lifetime hobby/habit/affliction.

Thanks, I was talking to the youngest of the third generation that was the last to drive it today. He was 14 years old and him and his cousin got it running. They drove it a couple hundred yards and ran into a gully. They got in trouble and it was put in that carport where it is in the photo, that w...

My five year old son in the picture is now a doctor.

Still have a few bugs to work out but I’m almost there. This was a 23 touring converted to a wood saw by my wife’s great grandfather. They swapped the cowl and engine from a 26. Her great aunt said they took the body off and threw it in the gully behind the house. It’s long gone. She remembered ridi...

If you had any paint on the angles on the hub end it will not be straight. Thick paint on the fellow will screw it up too. I had to take a little meat off the angles on the hub end also. I finally got mine to go in straight and run true. Don’t be satisfied with 1/4 “, get it straight.

My wife has just finished her chemo and radiation for the same, I know what you're dealing with. If you need any emotional support from someone that has been through it you're welcome to contact us.

What year would this one be? If you look close the ford logo is on top of another Ford that was upside down. It's a raised Font too.

Near Burlington N.C.

I had actually set it up to do that and thought I had better ask for suggestions before I did it. I was afraid it may be too much side pressure on it.
Thanks Scott

I have done many of these with this press, been a while though. This one will not go “home “ at the bottom push. It wants to spring back and not lie flat. I have taken some off the angles and a tiny bit off the crush at the hub. Has anyone ran into this before? There’s no paint or primer on the mati...

I am definitely not shimmering new spokes, out they come. I am really getting tired of doing thing’s twice. One step forward two steps back.

yep, your right

no, just checked my order form. I ordered the right ones.

Selling for a friend to help settle an estate. This was owned by his father inlaw for 60 + years. It runs great and is in very good shape. Mostly correct for 15, engine is dated 15. Fresh top and paint is good. Fellows on wheels are loose on rims is the only real problem I see. Price takes this into...

I just got hickory spokes for a set of wheels from one of the major suppliers for a set of wheels. One of them had a knot hole in it which they replaced. That should have been a sign. They were the roughest cut spokes I had ever seen. I sanded for hours and primed and filled heavy wood grain. I just...

Did they mount easily? I’ve got a set I’m having a little trouble with.

Anyone tried Blockneys 21” tires?

I’ll look him up, thanks Scott

Got a call from a fellow that has his late fathers 24 roadster and needs help learning to drive it. Just a shot in the dark.
Thanks

When I nest the bows correctly the third bow is 5/8 wider than the measurements call for. Is this going to bite me in the butt when I put the top on? Or should I build it to the correct measurements and the bows not nest?

I have six of this side but not the part in the fabric. I’ll probably go with lift a dots, thanks

What type fastener is this? It’s on a 23-25 touring top rear bow.

Does the leather door strap go under or on top of the upholstery and door panel?
And are the metal bezels that go around the latch handle and lock edge on the door panel in the catalogs going to fit a Classique door panel?

If anyone has pictures it would be a big help, thanks

Thanks Mike, I’ll give it a try

Speedytinc, so do I fold it under in the corners? I’ve done several before, 17 touring, 27 touring and a few 20’s roadsters. I have never had this much excess material.

I have the last button at the door opening now. It seems to be at least two pleats too long.

What do I do with all the extra material in the corners? It’s like its two panels too many.

Nice 15! A lot of our members don’t have trailers so that might be further than some would go for a day tour.

I have a few, I'm near Greensboro. Anyone close enough come and ride with us, Tarheel T's

How cool is that! It’s a low hood. I found it gathering some T parts out of an old barn.

Finally got some paint on the body! I’ve been working on and off on this 23 for twenty years.

Thanks for the photos Scott

This is a new wood kit. Does this mark have anything to do with the placement of the risers?

That's kinda what I was thinking but these are not just angle iron. That is were the confusion comes in. This body was in a pile with no wood when I started so I don't have any old to go by.
thanks

I accidentally put this on the classifieds.
I’m thinking these are floorboard brackets. Can someone take a photo of theirs so I can see exactly where they go?
This is a 23 touring.

Anyone recognize these two brackets? I think they go on my 23 touring, maybe floorboard supports.

I’ll take a couple of pounds

I have some, pm me

You better find some longer bolts, they’re hard to get the nut on without a gasket.

Thanks , yes send it please.

A friend is building an early 11 and needs just the windshield spacer.

Who's making wooden firewalls now?

Can someone give me the thickness or width of a rear wheel spoke? I am sending parts to Stutzman‘s to get some rear wheels made and want to make sure I send the correct sample spoke. I have a few different ones some have an oval spoke with a sharper point on the front some are a little more rounded....

That tool is like a boat, it’s best to have a friend with one!

I just sent a box full to Ben Martin

It finds me most of the time!

If you ever wondered what the factory paint looked like well here you go! These were found in the rafters in an attic where I have found a lot of NOS parts. Obviously original paint and never been bolted on.

I have a few sets of the correct ones if you’re interested. They are cast and go under the bolts that hold the windshield post on

It cost me 75$ to get five tires and tubes through customs

That’s interesting, I never knew there was a difference. Now I have to go look at mine

Five ribs, wire loom hole above the junction block, it’s a high firewall.

I have a pair of Phillips hubs on my 23, they work great. The quality is spot on. Phillip is a master machinist and works magic with metal.

I made it out of scrap I had in the metal pile, It took about an hour. That’s an easy way to save sixty bucks. Im glad the parts suppliers have them for folks that can’t make them though.

Works like a charm

Looking good Mack!
