2 NOS battery box lids FS
I have two for sale this time. They are the square edge type for after 1923 to 1927. One has the small inspection door the other does not. One has a little surface storage rust on a corner but both have mostly original paint. Would like to trade the complete one for an earlier rounded corner type ba...

Re: Early Original Wooden PU Box
Beautiful box … don’t know why someone hasn’t snapped it up. So much nicer than the new boxes.

Re: Needing a part.
Buffalo nickels are cheap at any coin shop because most of them have the dates rubbed off. And being nickel they don’t rust or decay like brass.

NOS battery box lid and inspection cover
Square sides for late 1924-1927 though it is interchangeable with the earlier rounded edge type. $150 plus post. Has a couple of small dents that would come out easily with a plastic hammer.

Re: Quick Change Bands
Nevertheless … I would love to see a well shot video of how to remove and install quick change bands on a engine sitting in an engine stand so it’s easy to see. Might be a good thing for a model T club to produce this winter.

Re: WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH YOUR T IN JANURARY ?
Have been wrestling with the installation of a Miller Master carburetor. I took it apart, cleaned it and put it back together. There really isn’t much to adjust as long as the float needle assembly is in good condition and it was. I installed it and got it going. It was a real bear to start but it r...

Restored and tested OF Carburetor for Sale
This is one of the last Stromberg OF carburetors worked on by Stan Howe. It has his better designed machine screws installed for the body plugs and new throttle linkage. I had it on my car for around a year and removed it after I found another example and so I don’t need two. It is bolt on ready. $7...

Any Clock Collectors out there?
Here is my 1880 Howard tower clock. Only runs for one day because the weight only goes to the dining room floor. Not sure why my wife doesn’t like the idea of putting a small hole in the floor for the weight cable.

Re: Built From Scratch Model T's
I built this up from a chassis with drive train back in 1978. The back panel with the tool box came off and a folding stage was put in its place for performing traveling medicine shows. I wrecked this in 2001 and rebuilt it as a speedster.

Re: If you have driven in parades...
I used to have an original honeycomb radiator in my 1919 T. Drove it for thirty years with a water pump and never had any problems. I sold that car in 2016 to buy the 1923 runabout I currently own and when I rebuilt the mechanicals I installed a new radiator. Have driven this T on a regular basis an...
