Nothing yet, but then our USPS is always late

Hey Uncle Walt / Larry: I am interested in this body but am out here in California.
Am going to research shipping to see if it makes sense, or any chance you know of anyone coming out west in the near future?
Not trying to waste your time but would like to see if we can work something out.
Thanks Chris Barker (805) 610-9553...

Close enough for government work George :lol: :lol:

I should have a few. Choices from $125 each on up. Decent clincher tires are all but impossible to find. There is generally always some defect that seriously affects their usability that should be visible if carefully inspected, so I advise never to buy a clincher tire unless you can see it in person. Located in Wisconsin between Madison &...

Loctite 518 is specifically made for flange-type gasket creation - It is not designed for pipe fittings and thus, I would NOT use it for NTP fittings

If you simply MUST spend more money on a Loctite product, then spend it on 545 which is specifically made for pipe fittings and is fuel and alcohol proof

The added bonus to any Loctite product when...

Looks like it's facing reTIREment.

Some tools make memories which last. I was given a plastic tool roll by a Model T Club member for my 21st birthday. It was German made quality and had all sorts of blades which fitted into a lock-on screwdriver handle, some pliers and a punch or two. I lost a couple of bits over the years. Just a few years ago I found am almost complete kit in as...

Will sent you an answer by the forum. Dan

All the burners are sold .

Rust and sticking in (on) the valves and rings is always a potential issue when engines sit.
Sometimes it takes some heat (running) to get things to seal up.
I have even encountered engines that will not start until you add oil to the cylinders when cold.
Pull starting the car rotates the engine faster than the hand crank or starter motor will....

Fitz, It's good to learn that you are still involved with Model T speed equipment. Haven't seen you in over 40 years and hope that this Roof head works out well for you. If you are ever headed down here, you are more than welcome to visit the shop and see more T racing equipment and kick tires.

Hello, Dave -
Thank you for responding, but as we only need the lid, it's best that we pass on your offer. I think a lid has been turned up, waiting only to hear the shipping cost.
Thanks again and best of luck selling your coil boxes.
Regards,
Marshall

Not being a Canadian car guy I have never seen spotted ring gears or heard of them.
I also have never seen or read Canadian service bulletins.
I did read the American service bulletins cover to cover as a kid 50 years ago, what was I thinking.
Maybe I live too far from the border.

There is always something new to learn about the Model T Ford.

Kim, it looks like four 1915 rims with the small clips for the plain lenses and three with the wider clips for the H lenses. Someone may like these to nickel plate them for a 26-7 model.
That sure is a keen price.

The adjusting screw on a magneto horn is at the back of the horn trumpet. If you have the back cover off a later battery horn and are loooking at an adjustment screw, the advice will be different.

All are sold.

The 7” reflector is still for sale.

Didn't even notice the tag when I first saw it and was going to send a note about getting it checked thinking it was a Surmike.

I don't know how many times I have seen a what it's worth post but I'm in need of a answer. I have a For sale Vehicles ad for my 1925 Model T
Fire truck & have had 0 interest in it as of yet. I'm wanting to know what is the issue with it & what someone would be willing to pay for it?
Is there no interest in it, is it too high priced or are T's...

Jacob: Check your email, I may have what you want. Dan

Allan, you are correct as the original hub cap is on the left. Laser etching produces very sharp edges and as you noted it wasn't pressed. However, on the car at a normal distance the faux hubcaps looked good. Well, until I managed to end up with 3 additional NOS original 1915 hub caps. The faux hub caps are now just in my spare parts collection....

My favorite is the 8th from the bottom 1913 cutoff touring hauling milk. Sure looks very ‘used’. I hope it’s paid for. But the photo reveals fonts were indeed lost ‘back in the day’. Reminder: tighten the font thumb nut before this season’s tours….

Thanks for info

Another great Marietta swap meet. Slightly smaller crowd. Quality of merchandise was very good. Norm and Nelson, as always, put on a well organized meet. And the Coil Dr. modern fence chargers were a big hit. Looking forward to next year!
Thanks to all!

Yup, the joys of the 1912 when Mr. Ford decided to stop making horseless carriages and started producing automobiles. The pre-ordered bodies had to have afterthought front doors affixed, the leather strap holding down the top moved from a hook beside the radiator bottom to the windshield hinge, several different coils and coil box manufacturers,...

In those 56 years it has only been in the rain one time in 1982 when we got caught in a heavy rain storm during a long 50 mile drive from my apartment in Lakeland to my hometown of Brandon, Florida. It was harrowing when, in rush hour traffic, all the windows fogged up. When operating the windshield wiper crank and the throttle and spark advance...

Colloquialisms, why is it always colloquialisms?

It is installed standing straight up. The switch is like a horn button power to the horn and ground thru this switch. The terminal on the lower end of it is the ground wire the body of the switch is grounded to the car. The upper screw and nut are for adjustment.
There was probably a shut off switch for driving down the road and turned on when...
