The windshield frame brackets are 4 inches from the outside edge and 3/4 of and inch and 1 3/4 inch from the top of the firewall. The top hole for the side lamps (for jno Brown) are 5 1/2 from the top and 1/3...

I want to reinforce what Bill has said about replacing the worn pawl. A friend of mine named Brian Roberts had a worn pawl on his 1923 Roadster. One of his goals for this Winter was to replace the pawl as it had slipped into gear on several occasions. Brian was scheduled to take his Model T up to th...

Thank you Gentlemen!

I have been cleaning a lot of main bearing cap bolts from motors which were disassembled and I discovered that there are two lengths of bolts for the #1 and #2 bearing caps. Some are 5 5/8 long and some are 6 1/8 long. I have a 24 block and it will take the long bolts. Can anyone tell me what year t...

Thank you Gentlemen!! That is exactly what I needed.

I am preparing to replace the firewall on my 19100. The car has an older restoration and the side lamp brackets used were not the correct ones. I now have the correct ones but the holes in the firewall do not match the correct brackets. Does anyone have the correct measurement of the placement of th...

Thank you! That answers my question.

I am replacing the front axle on my 1910 Touring with the correct one-piece spindle type. At some point back in time a newer front axle was put on the car. My question is, how many leafs should the 1910 have? The newer axle on it now has 8. Seven tapered and one (the smallest one) not tapered. the s...

I am working on a 1914 Roadster top and I have a question. This relates to the rear top bow position. Is it exactly above the rear seat back or does it go back farther than the seat back, and if so how far back? I know on the touring bodies I have seen the back bow is a few inches farther back than ...

Thanks Colin for the photo. Nice looking 1912!

Thanks Benjamin!

Thanks Keith, I appreciate the info! Good to hear from you again.

I am working on a 1914 roadster which has the original horn and tubing, both in great shape. The horn bulb however, is long gone and only the brass base of the bulb is left. I see that the vendors offer a 4 inch and a 3 inch diameter bulb. Which one is correct for this application for the 1914?

Thank you Dan! Great photo!!

I have a question about the correct position of the bracket that holds the round tank to the frame on the Passenger side for US autos. Is the bolt in that bracket towards the front of the car or towards the back?

Thanks Gentlemen for the input! I will get it put back together tomorrow.

Need advise on early head. In the process of replacing my head gasket, I noticed that of the 4 holes that had been drilled for larger head bolts, which had been shimmed back to the original size, three had been pushed lower by the head bolt. Now there are three hole shims that protrude lower than th...

I believe they are carriage bolts with square nuts. I have attached photos of my early 1912 Touring which should be the same as the 1911 touring.

I use a product called " Star Tron" . I works very well.

Lang's have the plans as well as the pickup box already done.

Thanks Mark! I appreciate the info!

It leaks when it is running and not running. I do not have a fuel shut off at the carb. It is difficult to tell where it is leaking.....looks like the bottom of the bowl but shows fuel on top that may be wicked from the top of the bowl.

How is the best way to set the float valve on a Holley 4550? It runs well, just leaks. Suggestions are appreciated. Thank you!

Thank you Gentlemen for the information!
Best Regards,
John

I am working on a 1914 Roadster and ready to install the rear fender brackets. The question I have is which way does the carriage bold get installed? Does the round head of the carriage bold show on the outside or does the square nuts show on the outside? I have not been able to find any photos of t...

Thank you Keith! The bolts will be difficult to find.

Thank you Richard! This is exactly what I needed!

I am in the process of installing the brass acetylene tubing from the generator to the headlamps. I am in need of the metal clamps that bolt to the frame and hold the brass tubing. Is there a vendor that makes them? If not, does anyone have some photos of one or dimensions of an original? I would ap...

Hello Daren,
There are 4 rivets as show.

Hello Sheri,
Let me know your email and I will send you some photos of the 27 Touring car wood. My email is johnlhaynes(at)hotmail.com. The l is a lower case L.
John

Thanks Mike! That is exactly what I need. The chance of finding them I believe, are quite slim. If anyone has a spare set of those to sell, I would be interested in buying them. Thanks again Mike, hope you got the info you needed from Charley!

Hello Mike,
Can you tell me the width of the "bead" strips you referred to. I am missing those for my 1914 Roadster and need to find the correct dimensions to fabricate them. Thanks!
John

Thanks Colin, Dave and Steve! This is great info!!

Thank you for the photos George!
John

Gentlemen: I am in the process of wooding a 1914 Roadster body with a kit I purchased. There are few instructions or illustrations. I am in need of photos of the seat wood framework that is just above the fuel tank. I believe the wood lid that covers the fuel tank and is just under the front seat cu...

]Thank you Chad, Bill and Les. I will try to attache a photo of the two Presto-lite tanks I have. One appears to have a galvanized coating and the other appears to be nickel plated. On the nickel plated one, there is remnants of a stencil, there is no such remnants on the galvanized one. Bill, thank...

I am restoring a Presto-Lite tank and have some questions and need some help. I have a tank with the raised letters that say "Prest -o-Lite". The tank has a valve on the end that is to one side of the tank. Does this valve go on the bottom, top, left or right side when mounted on the running board? ...

Hello William,
I have attached two photos of my 1913 front seat and springs. It is hard to see, but there is a notch in the plywood on which the springs rest.

Hello William,
I have a1913 Touring, I don't know if they would be identical to a Roadster regarding the front seat. I would be happy to take some photos of my and email them to you if you think this would help. Just let me know.
Regards,
John Haynes
