Hi all.
I have decided that I am going to install a set of disc brakes on my 22 touring. I've decided that being able to stop better in my mind is better than going 100% original. I know that this can be a controversial topic, like alternators, oil and waterpumps, but it's not invasive to the car, and can be removed if desired.
I am wondering,...

I should have titled this thread differently. Rather than calling the rear window on a 12 touring a tombstone the window is 8 sided I believe in the 12.
Can someone provide measurements?

Hello all,

The lead gasket of the sediment bowl is out of stock everywhere for some time now. Is there an alternative to it which I can use?

TIA

I just want some information on better driving habits for the T. I know the brakes are terrible, I know a controlled stop is best for the pedals. The spark lever is a big question of mine, it has a bunch of notches but near the middle there's a big notch, it goes past the notch, but unlike behind the notch it doesn't stay, is that normal? also...

I have a wide variety of questions, from steering to something electrical, to missing parts, to operation. I will start with steering, my gears are actually fine, the steering is fine, there is just one linkage looking thing that has all the play in my steering system, its this part where the column rotates a bar which moves the other bars that...

I found the original installation and operating instructions for the Warford Heavy Duty (cast Iron case) 6 speed (reduction, normal, overdrive) transmission. It was in a box of stuff I gave to the new owner of my TT. Paid him a visit this weekend, and was able to retrieve this and some other goodies. The instructions (and tranny) were specific for...

I was using an open landscape trailer to haul my snowmobile with the skis on and had a rough time getting up on. I am also soon going to buy a new enclosed trailer. What do you snowmobile guys to for traction when loading and also for protection of the ramp and floor. I am guessing old conveyor belt or horse stall mats but need ideas. Thanks

I recently inherited a 1926 model T that has been in my family (grandpa and father) since 1961. I knew my dad put a new exhaust pipe on it a decade or more ago. Tonight I noticed something on the very end of the muffler. What is it? It rotates. Is there a time or reason to rotate it? To where? When? What is this thing called? My google-foo not...

I’m going to try a chapter thread this year. We need to remember this is a club site and chapter activities are important. By sharing what we do maybe other chapters can get some fresh ideas.

I came across this at an antique store today. It seemed too good to pass up. I’m wondering if anyone can please inform me on this? Earlier threads seemed to point out 1914-1915 cars had these. I may or may not keep it depending on its rarity or if someone needs it for their car.
