What Should I Do With Them?

First post

I am disassembling my 27 coupe. I plan to reuse the various bolts and other fasteners (I assume that is the way to go!) I will soak them in Krud Kutter - Must for Rust . Any comments or suggestions?

I put them in plastic bags and mark what part they came from.

Last post

Yes, original hardware is best. A lot of modern stuff doesn't match.

When you bag up and label things, keep them all in the same place so you can find them later.

You can't take too many pictures of how things go together.

If I have to use any modern bolts I grind and buff off the markings, strip off the cad plating (paint won't stick to it)...

First post

The front top bow on my 1913 touring is not tight in the sockets and can be wiggled up and down by hand.
The curved part of the bow shows cracking.
What is the best way to reinforce the bow and tighten it in the socket?
Would something similar to J B weld or epoxy help?

Thanks for helping someone who’s a mechanical work in progress.

See picture I have a 4 hole quadrant for a 2 hole frame. Possibilities:

1) Only put 2 rivets in (the outside holes line up with the frame holes) high five myself and call it a day.
2) Drill 2 more holes and put all 4 rivets in.
3) Get a 2 rivet quadrant which I don't have.

Thoughts? Will a 4 hole quadrant work on a 2 hole frame?

That signal that Don V. posted looks nearly identical to the one Jim D. posted. Jim's appears to be the same with the addition of an extra bracket to space it out farther from the cab, no doubt to be seen easier with a wide bed or load. MHO Dave.

It acts as a dry lube to allow the inner tube to move in the casing when the tire (tyre) is installed. Like when used on a babies butt (back in the olden days), to also prevent chafing. Should help when installing rubber stemmed tubes on split rims.

There are casting marks on each hub G2067. They have a little wear but don’t look like they’ve been used much.

Darin, I suspect Gramps wanted a superior type of parking brake as sometimes the stock brake doesn't do too well, especially if it's not adjusted properly. Also, of course, it could be used occasionally as a good service brake also.

Really photos are poor, but zooming appears one has been taken apart, and the rims are poor. Can see wallowed out lugs and missing lug. Plus the clincher rims look too sharp bead and rusted away.

Last post

Try these threads. I used an old window lift channel and made the rod and mount by cutting, bending and welding a little rod to attach the strap. You have to fool with length so the window is up in the last hole. Wasn’t too bad of a job if I recall. Others can suggest what to use to keep the glass in the channel.

I love my Lizzie !! But ever since she adopted me (four years come Halloween) I've been nonplussed by the essential uselessness of that cute little turtle deck. Got her ready for a pickup box. One thing has me puzzling. How to mount the tail-light so it won't interfere with the tailgate, and not be mounted so low as to be vulnerable to stuff...

Nice pickup Mark.

Three years ago - an Englishman completed a trip
across the lower (48) states in the Seattle, WA area.

I called my friend KD in Long Beach, CA to ask if he
knew where a 1924 Model T could be stored for awhile
until passage to England could be arranged.

KD offered his backyard 😉

So I reached out & offered free transport to KD’s.

WTB I am looking for a Firestone rim, 30 x 3 1/2. This rim has no lugs but is driven by a nipple that fits into a cup on the fellow of the wheel.

Jack. I had another look at the collar around the valve stem hole in your photo and it dawned on me that the rim you showed has a rolled in groove in the base of the rim.

I have a very good running 1916 that has not been restored but fixed up over the years. I use it in less than nice weather tours and avoid using the 1912 depot hack because of the wood exposure. The door latch is very warn and has lost the spring which was probably broken. I need a working used latch if someone has it available. Thanks, Dick C.

Last post

I use a water pressure washer with $60 suction hose and blast nozzle attachment. Do it outside, no dust, can use sand. Surface rust appears quickly and needs to be primed immediately. Good for frames to small parts. Works ok for me. Only issue is the recovery of the media is almost non existent.

I don't feel this way about other old vehicles, but with T's, my attraction is
not to how the left the factory. Rather, it is how they were found years later,
after many miles and years of service and maintenance. The repairs and period
