I see a Model t Schrader stem on ebay now.

Willie R

Mr Scott, please spare us with your opinion. We will do just fine without it.

Willie R

I am a fan of the Brassworks and appreciate them and their work.
Mr. Smith, If you are so put out by peoples questions in this forum, then just simply leave. You dont have to be here....

Willie R

Why does the lower corner pieces (corner pieces below the mounting flats) on New Brassworks radiators have a height of aprox 13/16" compared to an original Brass radiators lower corner piece height of aprox 5/16" ? ?

Willie R

Are the wood fellows standard height and profile ?

Willie R

Bad or missing pinion spool bearing ??

Willie R

There is 1/8" of an inch on both front and back hub to wheel center contact. Hoping this is enough as the fronts will only have two points of contact and the rears will have three (usung 11" T brake drums) like Model As had originally. I considered the support rings all the way around but dont think...

Willie R

TWrenn, I think you might have the answer. If there is something I want to learn about a "T" I just Google, MTFCA ......... and a thread will come up with some good information previously discussed.

Willie R

Is it just that time of year or is the Model T forums dead ? Seems no one is alive in the hobby expressing any enthusiasm or interest in helping others. All clammed up ? What is it... Thousands of people view this and other Model T forums daily and hardly NO ONE has much input on anything. Are their...

Willie R

Mark you are very correct about the studs originally being sweged in. I am using entirely different studs front and back and yes they will be welded in place. The shoulders on them are only .25 long as well. I thought about the possibility of having to replace a stud in the rear hubs. if so, I will ...

Willie R

Model A rear hubs machined and ready to be welded to Model T rear wood wheel hubs.
The front Model A hubs fit right onto Model T spindles. Only a 1/2" spacer is needed in the front.

The reason I am using Model A wire wheels is availability and cheaper costs.

I accidentally posted this same question in the classifieds and can not delete it from there.
Just wondering if anyone can identify this door skin.

Willie R

Is this 1912 Touring ??

Willie R

There is one on ebay now.

Willie R

Is there any crown left on the pulley ?

Willie R

Just curious if you have called a vendor about your search for Ruckstell 12 / 40 gears ??

Willie R

Langs and Smith & Jones are great vendors. Polite, friendly, and fast. They are much appreciated.

Willie R

Save your time and money. Fix it like the old timers did. Keep your credit card in your wallet. Clean the mating surfaces with muratic acid and use flux, solder, and a propane torch to weld it back. Easy to do.

Willie R

Langs are my go to guys.

Willie R

I got one of the new Ruckstell ball thrust bearings from a T vendor recently that fits loose as well. The only made in CHINA part on my T. The bearings pictured on all the vendor websites are marked MADE IN THE USA but that's not what you get. I am thinking of tearing apart my new Ruckstell to get t...

Willie R

Was your new ball bearing made in the USA or a Chinese knock off ?

Willie R

Is there a shortage on band Material such as Scandinavia ? Is the New Kevlar material good and reliable ? I hear it looks thicker and has a looser weave. Can anyone get a hold of the old Kevlar manufacturer and get some made ? Any insite appreciated.

Willie R

I have no problem admiting when I am wrong or even voicing my experiences. Thanks again and have a great day.

Willie R

Big thanks to Chaffins Garage for all the precision parts it took to completely rebuild a large drum Ruckstell. Simply love it. Quite, smooth, and handy.

Had many Ts, this is my first Ruckstell. Made my T into a completely different animal.

Willie R

Do you ever get all this stuff out and enjoy it or does it just sit in your garage and collect dust ??

Willie R

My bad.. after closer examination, the pinion is not hanging off the outer edge of the ring gear. It is flush.
I have done lots of Ts but never invested so much time and $$ to have a perfect Ruckstell.

All is good and a huge thanks to Chaffins Garage for manufacturing such great accurate parts !!

Willie R

Update- I drove new Pinion on snug. It moved the inner bearing sleeve .037 up from the original gear location. Removed the new gear and the contact seemed consistent on the taper. At setup I notice the pinion teeth looks to hang off the ring gear on one end and shy on the other. All the inner compon...

Willie R

Scott_conger, thank you for your advice.

Willie R

Yes, I will give them a jingle tomorrow. The driveshaft is NOS with about 500 easy miles on it.

Willie R

Tried calling, no answer. Will try again tomorrow.

Willie R

Just purchased a new 12 tooth pinion gear. The taper bore is .021 larger on the small ID causing a very loose wobbly fit on the original drive shaft taper. The ID of the large end of the bore is the is the same as the originals. The two originals I compared it to have full contact on the taper. The ...

Willie R

Mike, I will call you in the AM Saturday. Will

Willie R

Good luck selling anything off this site. For being a Model T site, never had any luck buying or selling here. Facebook market place or Facebook Model T club is the best.

Willie R

Still looking for a ratty old hood.

Willie R

I don't even have a hood former yet. It is 22 7/8" from the firewall to the recessed edge of the radiator. Iam Looking for a hood former too. I think the Torpedo had a longer hood. I need the standard length hood.

Willie R

Looking to buy a 1909-16 hood. Doesn't have to be perfect. Just straight and functional. Paying up to 100.00 plus shipping. Please call or message me with what you have. 425-361-6382 Thank You.

Is it mostly indoors ?

Willie R

Which swap meet is better for model t stuff at Puyallup, WA the February 16-17 or the March 16-17 ?

Willie R

Anyone interested will have to arrange shiping. I can strap it to a pallet and drop off in the Everett, WA. area. Buyer would have to pay and coordinate all shipping with their shipper. Will

Willie R

Axle shafts look good. Rivits look tight.

Thank you touringtom ! Have a great weekend.

Splash Apron Measurement Needed.

I know this is a strange question to ask. Can a very kind person tell me the length of the longest part (front to back) of a 1912-16 Touring or Roadster splash apron ? I think thows years were the same lenght.
Thanks much in advance.

Willie R

Here is a pic
