Drift is alright as long as the info is relavent. I most likely will be getting a bosch amg switch anyways to complete the look/setup. I'm really just in the gather stage of this project, need to get a model A out of the way first. But I do have another question, any recomened mag rebuilders or just...

16940106967501309058004860304932.jpg Duel the mounting problem isn't so much the holes but where they are on the actual plate. It seems Bosch had two plates available. One for the NU and on for the DU. Being that the NU uses a slipring for firing and not the gear drive of the DU it is longer and th...

I have managed to remove the housing from the back so if I get lucky and find an adujstable one maybe I'll be one step closer to using this mag.

Yes, these use a non-Ford front cylinder cover. Contact Kevin Pharis as he was reproducing this cover several years ago. Many early models of magnetos did not have the advance feature- Bosch DU4 mags were made both with and without the advance. The coupling for the mag side is pretty much a mirror ...

It looks like I have a clockwise rotation mag. And from what I can tell I probably need a counter clock wise one.

Hmm It was labeled as a possible tractor magneto so thats probably it, I wonder if the housings are swapable or not. Guess I should try to find one.

So recently I found a Bocsh magneto as well as a magneto front plate for a model t on ebay. They were seperate posts but in doing research on the mount I found that the mount was oringally sold with the type NU4 magneto so I decided it was smart to purchase both. Both pieces are in great condition a...

It is really interesting to read the views of members on forums for classic/collectible cars, especially of mtfca and mafca. Most of the thoughts come from people in their midlife or retirement age that have owned at least one if not currently in possession of multiple cars for many many years. To m...

Oh I completely agree this site is a wonderful repository of saved information. But knowing what to search is half the battle and thats were to modern social sites can really help, Like for instance on Facebook and tiktok there is a group called the Flatspot the shares all sorts of surface level inf...

Mark, I think I emailed you before about this but if you ever want to revamp your site or make a modern online store front for Chaffin's garage, I would be very interested in volunteering my time on that front. Glad to hear that we are not losing one of the most complete Model T part manufacturers t...

I'm afraid a large part of the decline in attendance for both shoppers and sellers is due to a shift toward internet sales. If that's the case, I don't know what can be done to counteract it. I don't blame old timers dying, because old timers have always died. Some will claim there's a decline of i...

I'm sorry Craig, can you be more specific? Are you asking about the housing I have in my pictures or the driveshaft ends?

Hello, do you happen to have any measurements or detailed drawings/pictures of the rear section? I know it uses stock model t parts but I need a better look at the rear plate that bolts to the T rear end.

Some more pictures of the piece I am trying to remove.

So I went to Chickasha this year for the first time and gotta say even though I could only make it early on friday, it was a really fun experience. I ended up purchasing a Moore Auxilury trans from a couple of guys and need some info one it. I have already found the few forum posts on it I could but...

Hello, I actually bought the Moore transmission from y'all's table yesterday and I figured I'd give an update. I opened it pretty easily and every part seems in perfect condition. Now If only I could find part diagrams for it, gonna be fun getting the proper bearings.

Howdy Y'all, I am looking for infomation regarding the current maker of the Jern or Hansen-French adaptor plates for a Chevy Two port head conversion. I have found a couple of these heads for sale and even an olds three port but never pull the trigger as I'm so new to this hobby I don't know the "In...

Please do let us know if they are still active, recently found out about them myself from a 2007 forum post but figured it had been to long to try the contact info. Want one my self.

Where do you plan of finding a P38 drop tank?

I actually found some one that sales fiber glass replica tanks, So I have resource for that.

Thanks for your input Wayne. Yeah its real nice blank slate. Which is kind of the problem. I have and idea of what I want to do if I choose speedster but Langs has so many good choices for bodies its hard to pick. As to the year. I have checked the number on the engine before against the info availb...

Hello y'all, I have a simple but difficult question. I recently got my hands on a semi rolling chassis with the plan to do a full build series on youtube and of course I'll post updates here to get y'alls tips and tricks. But I have come to a dilema, what do I build it to? Do I go low buck period lo...
