Aviation Fuel Lube on the carb fitting will stop the leak.

Good idea, I have used it for years.

I have had good results by using Aviation Fuel Valve Lube (very lightly)/on sealing gas line fittings from Langs.

I also put a rubber grommet in the dash.

He made both.

They did a super job,a lot of work went on behind the scenes for us to enjoy.

THANKS to all that was involved.

Yes this year’s was a very good one and no doubt yours next year will be a good one also.

Inner tube patches? What brand of patches that will work on the newer synthetic rubber inner tubes. My tube had a pin hole, an unopened tube of glue & the old method of preparing the area, heated etc; wouldn’t stick. Went to my local tire shop, was told we don’t patch, buy new tube. He didn’t have 2...

Had a good time, met lots of T friends. There was lots of rusty, used and even new parts ,and Gaslights vender was there with several tables of new parts.Good food / parking & friendly/ Family atmosphere .

I have bought 5 , they told me one of them may be the winner

I am bringing some starter cores for Buckeye Electric.

Or you could sell them and buy AC brakes, which work backing up as well as forward. If I remember correctly you are in the almost-state of Franklin. I believe that's hilly enough country to make external brakes in both directions a good idea.

That would be my choice.

Thanks to all the comments. My Model T family friends is the best.

Thanks. Roy

Another choice is to have Buckeye Electric convert your original starter over to 12 V.

I talked with Don on Michigan Tour in August. I have been on several tours with Don & Marge, she was the life of the group. He seemed to be doing good then. Sad to hear our friend T’ers passing away. R I P. Don

Cell phone coverage is sometimes limited in the boondocks. We use Motorola and get about 1.5 mile range.

What model / number have you had good service with?

Roy

Kevin, glad to hear you are up and about, be careful of a set back. Roy.

Thank you Dennis, that is Showing good T Spirit To a young one, he will never forget you.

I installed one on my 25 last week , have used it a dozen times, a much quieter sound engaging, so far so good.

Put my name on the list for one. Thanks. Roy

Henry , you are blessed with both.

Darin, I have been on a few tours with your Grandfather Roger, he was as interesting T person. Glad you have got it back on the road & enjoy it like he did.
Do you have the unique & rare trailer that he used to haul the T on, if you do please post some pictures of it.

I have missed Dave, glad he is okay. I have been to his shop, bought parts and been on Two of his tours. He is a great T guy.

Hap, I also miss reading your posts. Glad you are okay.

Yes, I have 2 of his NH straight thru rebuilds & they do makes a difference.

Thanks. Russ

Scott, well said.

I sure would keep that outside one in service

I drill out the stem first, don’t damage core threads.

I prefer the P head after running a Z head for several years . The guys running a Scat crank don’t have to stop & wait on me at the top of the hills now

I have a Z head on the 14 touring and a Prus on the 15 Speedster. Both are an improvement on the Ford head but I prefer the torque characteristics offered by the Prus. I think the combustion chamber shape is better and it gives more useable torque and better mileage. JMHO

I donated a tool similar to that one to the Museum, it was from a Ford Dealer in Richmond. I wanted it to be at home.
I know nothing of Stones Garage.

Roy Stone

It was sad to hear but was expected. Just a great guy. Was on several tours with him & Betty. I spoke with Betty Sunday and she was doing as well to be expected with the circumstances.
Wishing Betty & family the best.

Joe, I feel the same as Jerry.

Hope to see you this fall. Roy Stone

Buy another one may cure it

Pete, if you don’t find one let me know, I have extra one. Roy 304-586_4551

Any information on 2020 Hill Billy Tour in Missouri would be appreciated. Thanks

I had to do same as Dan did on mine. On another one it leaked about 3 inches up the leg with many minute holes in a 2 " area, couldn't see them but I could feel the gasoline , covered area with epoxy & still running.

R I P Howard, a very kind Model T guy. He always spoke when we would meet on tours, a faithful attendee to the MTFCI Tours. Another one gone.

I plan on arriving Saturday also.

I have the modern axle seals & immediately after a long drive I removed the diff: oil plug to check the oil level and heard a puff of air exit. That was enough for me to install a vent.

I'm looking forward to this one, George & his crew always does good tours. Lots of T roads for sure.

Scott, thanks, I have bought parts , been on couple of his tours & been to his place. A very knowledgable T guy. Glad he is okay.

Thanks. Roy

I haven't seen Dave Huson of Colorado listing any parts for sale in the classified for quite awhile?

The movie Mule is worth watching, very good & based on a true story. Shows how easy to go down the wrong & dangerous road in today's times.

Vic will be missed by all that had talked with him a few minutes. I had been on several tours with Lorie & Vic & his last one in October. I enjoyed him telling about the day their first Model T arrived at their drive way.
Wishing Lorie the best.

That sounds good to me.
