Jerry, here's a photo of what I'm looking for.

I'm interested in buying original 1900 to 1915 parts and accessories catalogs by the many companies that catered to the early motorists. I especially would like a pre 1910 Dykes parts and accessories catalog. Please contact me by email through the forum. Thanks in advance.

Looking for three more hood hold downs as pictured. Thanks in advance. Email is preferred.

Mark, sent you an email.

This is a model T era accessory. An aluminum frame that measures 12 7/8" x 6 7/8" for the Runabout or Touring. Uses Isinglass for the window. Makes a simple screw on assembly. Polish it to a mirror shine and add bling to the rear of your car. The top photo shows the rearward facing side (it had been...

This is for the one ton truck. Price is $10.00 plus shipping. Emails only please.

That would be for a 1912 or earlier model T. The varnished rim looks nice but it should be painted black to be correct

Steve, You are absolutely right, I knew that!. Silly me, posting an ad before I was wide awake this morning. The post has been corrected, thanks for the heads up.

Single Hassler shock absorbers as shown. Price is $150.00 plus $24.75 shipping in a large USPS flat rate box.

Double Hassler front shock absorber set as shown. $150.00 plus $24.75 shipping in large USPS flat rate box.

I'm looking for an early starter switch and frame mounted bracket that was riveted to the frame. These were separate parts. They are shown on page 279 (lower corner) of Bruce McCalley's book. I'm also looking for a magneto horn as shown on the same page. Lastly I need a spare tire carrier for the re...

Keith, I sent you an email.

Hi Ed, I'll take it. Sent you an email.

Les, I sent you an email.

Looks like a 1924 to me. Tall radiator, steel firewall, later front spring/motor mount. Frame looks to be a 1919 or 1920 and 1926-27 engine as mentioned. New spokes in wheels and New tires are a plus. Good start on a complete chassis for what ever body you put on it, just not 1916.

Just paint the brass trim on the lights black and presto you've got a 1916!

Atwater-Kent shown on last previous post, this is the Delco.

Having trouble downloading the Delco photo will try again later.

I have two original distributors for sale. One is an Atwater-Kent model LA and the other a Delco. They are the clip-on style. Both have the camshaft drive gears and are very good condition. A little cleaning and they should be good to go. The cap on the Delco looks to be a old replacement, it doesn'...

Edwin,
Welcome to the hobby, I can't add anything that hasn't been said already. You've gotten some excellent advice here. Do your homework, educate yourself and don't be in a hurry . Model T's are plentiful and come up for sale all the time. Above all enjoy the journey.

Thanks Kim, only 54 total spaces for a pre-war swap meet that's what I call a major downsize! The Auburn Swap Meet in June sounds like the meet to go to. I'll call the race track and get a space for the swap meet and see what happens on May 4th.

Does anyone have details on the swap meet being held at the Famoso Drag Strip on May 4th? I see nothing on the flyer about pre-war cars or parts. Will we just be mixed in with all the modern stuff or is there a pre-war section of the swap meet? This all seems to be very confusing. I haven't called t...

Steve, my current helper is just fine, besides he works really cheap.

I have contacted Karl as Jerry suggested and am waiting for a response. Thank you Jerry for the tip.

Last year my buddy Steve and I were dealing with the estate of a fellow club member and friend. Jerry had past away leaving several model T's and literally tons of parts. Among the cars was a 1918 speedster Jerry built and hadn't driven in 40 years. Steve and I pulled it out where we could work on i...

Later car back dated with 1915 radiator, hood, fenders etc. Would be easy to change back. Either way looks like it's set up for serious touring. You couldn't build it for that even if you started with a nice unrestored car you got for free.

I think she should hold out for a guy with a whole car.

The inner ball bearing cone on the spindle can with care, be cut off the spindle with a welders torch. I've done this several times with rusted bearing cones without damage to the spindle itself.

I heard from a friend of a friend that it will return to Bakersfield fairgrounds in 2024. Time will tell but, time is ticking away.

Driving the car with bad wheels could also damage you and any passengers enough to not be repairable also!

You might want to go to a motorcycle salvage place. Ask to see their stop light switches.
These operate by a pulling motion, not by compressing to actuate the switch. They will work with any pedal that's depressed, just mount the switch behind the brake pedal.

Allen, Thank you for your comment. I wish the kerosene lamps here had reflectors made of brass, U.S. production used steel reflectors. It's hard to find them without heavy rust and pitting these days. I think the square type reflectors came along about 1919 in the U.S. The reflectors I believe were ...

The Penny Farthing is a British used name, in the U.S. they were commonly called a Ordinary, the technical name would be a Velocipede, if pedaled by a fixed crank and pedals on the front hub.

Bob, Sent you an email.

Well, I just can't figure out why
I can't pull it up, even googling: mtfca, classified parts Oct. 2023. Never had this problem before.

Just wondering if I missed something. I'm having one heck of a time getting to the classified sections of the forum. All that keeps coming up are past years posts, not current posts. Is it just me?

I'm looking for a nice set of side lights and also a nice tail light for a 1916. These would have steel rims and have the small vent holes around the base of the chimney. The reflector inside is round unlike the later lights that have a more square shaped reflector.

Thanks Wayne, I was asking because I have a large pile of Hassler parts. There is probably a couple of sets worth. I have a repro. 1923 Hassler catalog that shows the same design parts that I have. I was just wondering how early of a car they could authentically go on.

What year were Hassler shock absorbers first introduced?

I had a friend, now deceased that had a uncle who worked at a Ford dealer back in 1918. He told my friend that when new model T's came in they sounded like sewing machines. He also said six month's later those same model T's sounded like a bucket of bolts.

I just saw a news report yesterday that Lake Tulare is increasing in size instead of receding. The flooding this year caused the swap meet to be canceled. This winter maybe just as bad as last winter, so it's hard to say. Perhaps someone in that area can shed some light on next years event.

Dan,
That sounds like a perfect trip for the Mt. Wagon. Is it back together?

Mike, I'll take the firewall brackets. I sent an email to you but it bounced back.

What exactly do you mean by " needs engine work" ?

Richard, I whatever size or number strand of cable you use make sure it is aircraft rated or arcraft quality and not from the local hardware store or home improvement center. Your life and others are more valuable than saving a few bucks on the cost of cable!

Thanks for the update, I need two round tanks. I'll make some calls.

Hi all, just wondering what the current news is about new gas tanks. Are there plans to reproduce them? Are they available now? I've been away a couple of years and have'nt heard any updates. Someone boasted here on the forum that he was going to reproduce them, so I thought maybe that anouncement w...

David, I have a beautiful original lower water outlet casting. The reproduction castings are made totally wrong. Original ones were never brass, they were cast iron which was then tinned and dipped in molten solder to coat them to prevent rusting. The original ones also were angled upward and toward...

Not sure what year these are for or if they are even for a "T". $50.00 plus shipping.

Please call the owner for more information regarding the TT, his contact information is in the above ad.

This piece is in great shape. The hole on the inside was punched through so no metal was removed. The metal can be tapped back into place and welded closed. The broken hinges on the lid are an easy fabrication job. And the wood piece missing on the bottom is a no brainer. I thought I'd restore it an...
