I received a new radiator for my T and installed it. I have only driven car since maybe 30 miles or so. Recently I was looking under the hood on left side and discovered the overflow tube broke loose and just hanging from the tank on top. Also the old radiator had a couple ears toward the top where a couple screws went though the shell to support...

Why does the model t tips website ask for a username and password?

Anyone have the measurements of this by chance? I have an older set of Rocky Mountain brakes I would like to update.

I am working on my 24 Touring and having done a rebuild on engine with a neoprene crank seal, I still see a drip under the front of engine. So I thought to add an additional external seal and want to know if anyone else has done this using an aluminum belt pulley and your technique in doing this. Your thoughts are appreciated!

While cleaning out a few things this afternoon I came across this tap. It is marked STEVENS NEW YORK and is before the change/addition of the Walden Worcester to the logo. It is marked 1/2 14 and it measures out as such, 1/2-14. The only thing that I could think of or come across is the tap for the T-201 Oversize Tap and Bolt Set for Ford Cylinder...

When I installed Rocky Mountain brakes on my 14 Touring car I noticed the brake rods were very close to the running board truss rods. When I push on the brakes the two rods get so close together that they often rattle together quite loudly. I really don't want to bend the rods so I have been thinking about splitting a rubber hose and covering one...

20230126_142751.jpg Bought this 25 Coupe today. Going to need some engine work. Engine was good running good for last owner but broke a couple magnets. I'm assuming the field coil is going to be a mess. Previous owner removed the rest of the magnets. He bought a set of splash angles but decided not to finish the project. Debating whether I should...

Here’s a T center door going down a San Francisco hill around 21-22. It looks like the gas lever is all the way up. Was he coasting and using any braking or?? It looks like the T is new or close to it.

1913 touring adapted for service. It looks funny without a windshield. They could have used a runabout, but hey, the back seat was gonna fall off anyway. :lol:

A couple years ago I bought a T that had a set of Firestone Polonium spark plugs in it. They seemed to work fine but I eventually replaced them and put them up in a cabinet. I came across them the other day and was curious to know if anyone knew much about them. Are they a better plug by being radioactive or was it just a gimmick?

In more ways than one ! Looks like the rear seat in this 1913 touring is holding up well under stress !

I have added a link to Darren's car in our Video Link section of the gallery:

Here’s a high end Model T roadside camper set up

I am certain the package shelf can be removed to give more leg room. From the photos I have seen this would involve moving the gas tank back along with the seat riser and then reconstructing the seat back support. I know its not a project for everyone but at 6'3'' its worth the effort to get an additional 4 inches or so.

Any photos of the seats...

Here is a neat old piece. This is a Champion Spark Plug Tester from 1936. It uses a model T coil inside. It is missing the gauge that would show how much pressure was in the chamber. The pressure was used to simulate the combustion chamber pressure so you could see how the spark plug performed under pressure. There were adapters so you could check...
