Couldn’t speak any higher of Erik, great work, so helpful.

I purchased several to make up one nice set.
I which yours were available when I was looking.
Good luck with the sale.

Nice start Mike, thanks for sharing.
Keep us up to date with the progress.

Does anyone know the difference between 1911/12 and 1913/14 firewall brackets. In particular the markings on the bracket, are they part numbers or dates. The ones have viewed on vehicles are not consistent from the left to the right. Cannot find anything in Bruce’s Book. Would any have any informati...

eBay AU if any interest UD dollar maybe attractive to bulk order. Just a thought

I have my name on one at Brassworks when available.
They are currently working on the tooling. Hopefully there is enough demand for the tanks to warrant manufacturing. Rootlieb have no one making them and have no stock.
Hope this helps.

What state do you want to ship from Jeff. Cheetah Imports from Indianapolis into Victoria. Classic American imports from Richmond CA into Adelaide. Would be many others out of the US. Internal shipping each country can be pricey. Both ways could be up to six months to get to the destination by sea. ...

Hi Tom, any updates on the early fuel tanks, correct me if I’m wrong, I herd you were looking into making them.
Thanks Michael

Thanks Tim, I don’t think so, I might email Langs and ask the question.
Thanks Michael A

Anyone here seen or herd of a small booklet that contains all the manufacturers markings on the early front axles.
Apparently there is one out there but have no more information about it apart of it has a white cover.
Might be a long shot.
Any info appreciated.
Regards Michael A

Alan, I also would be interested if any engine numbers can be found on record.
Cheers Michael A

Count me in Mike, nice work.
Michael A

Fantastic.

Now that’s nice, great job, well done.

Thanks for making us aware Philip.

Latch mechanism like this one on my cab Mike.
It’s looks the part.

Anyone have a original one in there overflow would love to own one.
Michael

Thank you Dan

So which crank handle is correct.
Is 11/12 and 13/14 the same.

I always thought the aluminium handle was correct for early 12.
Not sure now which one is actually correct. Seems to overlap in this catalog.
Michael A

Well done William, I suggested that to them months ago.
Maybe those interested in white tires do the same.
In numbers maybe they might consider.
Show car or driver nothing else looks as nice. Only my opinion.
I would purchase a set of five today.
Michael A

The one in AU is the same.
Will not hold stiff at 4 ft.
Droops at approx 1 ft extended.
Hope this helps.
Michael A

Here is the AU contact details for those that may have interest.
Michael A

I’ll look into this eBay listing here in AU
Would 3 foot be long enough for veteran.
Michael A

Thanks Keith

Thanks fellas
I cannot open that last attachment.
Can anyone else?
Might be me

Michael

Thanks Allan

Would anyone know if the early 11/12 steering column / mounting flange section at the fire wall be the same between Left Hand Drive and Right Hand Drive vehicles.

Thanks Alan
I’ll give you a buzz

Thanks Richard,
The pin holes drilled in different angles mentioned in the encyclopaedia I cannot see.
The middle one with the course thread would be correct?
Michael A

Early 1912 drag link.
I am looking to purchase an early drag link and have nothing in front of me to compare. Not clear about the differences in thread sizes and ball couplings. What should I be looking for. Thanks in advance.
Michael A

Another option.
Have sold several that provide bright light if any interest.
Let me know I’ll see how many are available.
Michael A

Ebay global shipping is the worst.
Additional charges follows.
I refuse to purchase anything using this program.
Just my opinion, read the reviews.
USPS and USP not so bad if your not in a hurry.
Michael A

Great thanks Dan

Can anyone date this speedo for me.
I’m thinking 14/15.
Thanks Michael A

Thanks all

Cheers Joe

Thanks Kerry
My engine block is mid April,
Cheers

Hi, looking to confirm dates on my cylinder head.
I see 11th of September or 9th November
Hoping it will be correct for early 12 engine,
or could it be 1911.
Thanks in advance,
Michael A

Thank you all that really helps

Hi,
Could anyone identify these early wire wheels please.
Michael A

Finally pictures uploaded.
Here is my caps slightly different to the ones Kevin provided. Maybe mine have been remade.
Michael A

Thanks Kevin, pm sent.

Thank you yes they are great.
My caps are in excellent condition but the face didn’t have any decal or a recess for one.

Thanks Ray

I recently purchased a lovely set of 5 Buffalo wheels and hubs/caps. The caps look nickel plated. The wrench supplied with them is like a flat piece of steel approx a foot long with two lugs protruding that fit into the holes on the cap which obviously operates the internal locking mechanism. Previo...

I was so looking to fitting white tires on my veteran. A local friend here has had a set of white ribbed tires for many years without any complaints. The wearing quallity and browning obviously a huge disappointment for many. How big is the demand for white tires out there and would we be able to es...

Email sent

That really helps thanks Art.

Last question,
Would late 11 early 12 be the same as late 12 to early 13.
Michael A

That really helps, thank you

This virus has crippled the industry.

Thanks Chris and Henry.
Much appreciated

Early chassis rivets. Sizes.
Would anyone have the correct sizes to suit 11/12 chassis cross members (front and rear) and running board brackets.
Are they all the same size and who would recommend a quality supplier.
Thanks in advance
Michael A

Fantastic John and Wayne. Just what I was looking for.
To be correct Is there a rivet size guide for the cross members and running board brackets.
Are they all be the same size?
Michael A

Good point Mark, re piggy backing.
Also for the newbies like me year of manufacture is very important.
Michael A

Yes Brown, do you have one
Michael A

I’ll try classified

G’day,
Hoping someone has a JNO brass generator to suit early 1912. clean straight and no cracks if anyone has spare one.
Regards Michael A.

Thank you Dan
Would you mind me using your photos on the wtb classified.
Michael A

I wonder if many of the early can are around ? If anyone has one.
Looks like they were copper coated.
Michael A

Thank you Dan

Hi, can anyone date the ford script accessory oil cans for the veteran model Ts.

Michael A

Thanks again all for your reply

Cannot see any DB markings, would they be near to the numbers?

What’s are the correct markings on a early 1912 front axle. Here is what I got. Or is it what is pictured in the first photo. Thank you in advance.
Michael

Very nice lamp, some have brass mount on the back.

Thank you Gene, their are so many combinations of brass with the black and brass cowl and tail lamps I was wondering if this book has more detail. eg some have brass mount and some have all brass tanks also the section above the steel body I have seen all brass. Would like to know on a 14 what is co...

hi, I have some problem accessing all the forums. Would this Bruce's book be available through the MTFCA. I am interested in purchasing one. Does anyone know if they are still available?
Regards Michael

Cheers Pete

Thanks Larry,
No db, disappointing.
Michael

Thanks Allan

Thanks
Would 11 3/8 " inside the curved section be correct
Michael

Hi, can anyone tell me we’re the measurement is taken from, inside the curve section or outside overall width.
Michael

Thank you I did see them

Thanks everyone, I'll let you know thanks Adam.

Hi, what would be correct thickness for Apr 1912 valve cover plates. Anything to else to look out for.
Regards Michael

Thanks Dan. I am going to do mine the same.
Michael

Thank you Dan, I have a raw cherry wood veneer, untouched at this stage. How did you get that rich colour. Have you let it age, with a top clear coat?
It is lovely.
Michael

Hi, lovely colour of timber firewall. Sorry to get off the topic. Would that be aged cherry wood?
Michael

We had over 46 Celsius here in sunny Adelaide South Australia last week, that around 116 Fahrenheit in the shade. Hottest day on record. Man that's hot, trade you any day. Enjoy the cool weather.
