Last time I was at Model T Haven Mark had several styles. He had the adjustable style, some with double blades, and a two blade "propeller style" similar to a Model A. They were all NOS original. The price was good so I bought one of each. He has listed them on e-bay but he may still have some left....

I found an extra "Neverout" tail light bracket when going thru my 1914 speedster project parts. Im not sure if it is an original or an older repro ?? Most of the repros I've seen have very poor castings that make the lettering very hard to read. This one has better lettering than most I have seen. B...

Thanks Mark. I knew I had seen it somewhere. I knew how to do it, but I just could not remember the degree or time on the clock. In my case it will be 1/2 way between 12:00 and 1:00 on the clock.

Can someone refresh my memory. How many degrees do we turn crankshaft after top dead center when setting the timing to full retard position. Or another way is what time on a clock is it. ?

I have a nice pair of open car door latches. I was told these will work on a 1913 - 1914. I do not think they are Ford. A well know body restorer said they may be aftermarket or 490 Chevy but he uses them on 13-14 bodies since original Ford latches are made of "unobtaniumn". These are in good shape ...

Jim is correct. It is a governor fan. Used on stationary engines or maybe a tractor conversion. They are desirable to people making model T stationary engines.

The date of change of 8-20-26 mentioned above shows that the rolled edge came out for the time period of the 27 models. All following replacement parts would be of the rolled edge style.

The "27 style" radiator cap with the flange at the bottom is an example of something I have noticed during my studies of 26-27 improved models.

OK, Here is my 2 cents worth, and probably not worth that. In years past replacing the gas tank was usually the best choice.

Frank, Acording to what you said, I would want the bolt to fail before the holes in the block. The grade 5 probably would fail before the block.
