The car in the photo would fit in a Mitchell's toolbox.

The Mystery Car is shapely but, *man* it's tiny.

Sent you an email. I have another one.

I stand corrected, Rajo. I knew what it was, but called it by the wrong name. Senior moment.

what you see is many many coats of chipped paint....the wheels are in great shape...spokes are tight and solid.....

I wonder if these have any connection with the early French aviator named Bleriot. (?)

Randy: Will these work? They are 7/32 diameter. Langs paper catalogue says for 26-27 'various body styles' jb

To the top.

Original reamers may give too much clearance for modern king pins as most modern king pins are made undersize. The Ford drawing calls out the king pin thickness somewhat greater than a half inch, and most vendor king pins are made a half inch and in some cases less than half inch. Not a problem for the bushings as they can be reamed to any size,...

This info may have already been shared, I saved it from a Forum post in 2013, sorry about format, jb

It appears to have a fuel bowl and adjustable jet. Perhaps it had some sort of cylindrical, variable venturi piece that had a sliding fit in the body and was raised or lowered by the lever device to throttle the engine. I'm certain of one thing, I've never seen one of those, though I have seen some very old carburetors that had a similar general...

The purpose of the detachable ears was to make it easier to replace the bands when sliding them in place with the ears removed

Thank you MTFCA Classifieds!

As long as a coil is buzzing, beside the fact that it is not on all the time, it has impedance as well as DC resistance. Impedance is a property of inductive devices operating on interrupted DC or on AC current, especially high frequency AC current. It has the effect of adding electrical resistance to the device. A buzzing model T coil in good...

ok, thanks! i was given a brass bulb horn that came off of one.

I used my 1934 Pontiac to drive my bride from the church to our wedding reception.
The car was sold two months later to help put a down payment on our first home when we learned that we were expecting the first of our four children.
We will be married 30 years in July.

My condolences on the loss of your friend.

Still no activity per this request....hope someone here has this either complete or as parts. If interested in a trade, I have (2) double twist style horns with the standard bell cover and horizontal inlet...both are perfect show quality...one stamped RUBES, one with no stamping. Both are originals that I restored.

Not sure what the provenance...

My little brother wants the kidney, he says he will give it to his dog :mrgreen:

As George says above, you may be referring to a process called PVD, physical vapor deposition. It is the process that is used for lifetime brass finishes on faucets, door handles, etc. I see no reason it might not be used for car parts. No idea what the cost for one off parts may be. Maybe you want to check it out and let us know? Here is one...

The coupe is sold. Thanks MTFCA

Larry there were two thicknesses of the red fiber I had. The stuff I had saved for myself I gave away for the most part when I unloaded my early Ford stuff. I measured the pieces I still have and they are .060 and 1.10 inches thick respectively.

Did 2 such conversions. Noticed a single filiment bulb was extremely bright at speed. Used a double contact (lighting both) bulb. The 2nd one i worked on had a 6v single contact. It wasnt in service long. was burned out. Replace with a double contact 12v. 1157?

Thanks...That is what I needed to know. The hunt is on..Tommy

Caution on some of the reproduction slant top lids that have the sides and internal shelf spot welded which caused t he sides to warp. The shelf on the underside of the lid is what keeps the coils in place.

Thanks for the heads up. I thought they would be easy to find, but not so....

Any of you folks going feel free to bring any oddball carb or magneto. T related or not.

Danny, Since you don't have to adjust idle after you get it dialed in you could simply attach a wire or other method to prevent it from rotating until you find one of the barrel retainers. I didn't realize those round barrel types are so fragil.

I have plenty other things to do until parts get here. But not long and she will be on the road!

Tank is sold, Thanks.

The block appears to be the one Charlie Shaver had as part of his 1910 project car.

Tim- thanks for the measurement- appears to be just a vanilla 15 tooth 5 DP gear.

This is me, circa 1954. I am the 5th owner of the pedal car, same extended family since new - which was about the mid-30's. So it had been literally, and figuratively, been through the war .

Doesn't address a 1921 Touring specifically, but these may be somewhat helpful:

Regarding keeping the backrest spring pack in position, it is suspended by straps that are tacked either to the wood support slats (for cars that have them), or from the upper tack rail (for cars where the spring pack sits directly on the metal seat back).

Bump. Still looking for a buggy rail - 586-651-5760

Post pics of your new car!! I love my '13, you'll love yours too. Something about
this particular model just captivates.

H0558-L12692522.jpg I saw 9 of these at Chickasha, all very nice ranging from $45 to $90 including mine for $50. Never even got an offer.

If someone buys this seat, I have the folding support post for the rear of it. Now all you need to find is the front hinged brackets.I'm open to reasonable offers. Part # T8822 and appears to be T9668B, it's hard to make out.

I plan on heading west toward calif after luray, if anyone has any decent of partial left over kits ;,possibly I can pick up!!

bttttttttt

Warren. You might try finding a backhaul trucker in need of a load So he doesn't deadhead back to His home base.
One of the best places to look for backhaul loads is on load boards, such as 123loadboard.

I would recommend you get the stainless steel ones that the vendors sell. Then when you instal them chuck them up in a drill and spin them into place.

Model T's survived but did the buildings - and lamp posts?

Jeff, Glad you were able to get the Vets Stadium scheduled for the LB Club swap meet. The date just might be perfect for some Out of Towners to get down this way after the National Tour! Since they're out here on the Left Coast it's an lovely drive this way on their way back home.

Up to top again.

These valves are the bomb. Did I say it right? Trying to get with this new generation talk. Not working for me, the new talk. The valves work GREAT!!! Fixes a problem that needed to be addressed. If you are working on a NH you need one of these. Install tool is a must two.
Scott: when you going to make a tool for mixture jet? Put me on the list....

The Tucker was mentioned above. It may have been the original intention, but none of the 50 or so production cars had them made that way. I think I read where a later restoration made one move. Fuzzy though on this.

T handle! I was on the wrong track as I often am. Sorry. Maybe I should be in the ejection seat :(
I have become obsessed by the toggle switch though.
Thanks for the comments.

The two round tanks are spoken for, the bumpers are spoken for.

Thanks for the contact Matt. Now, is anyone going to the meet able to haul the 15 engine block closer to the east bay area in San Francisco? that is where our shipper operates. We an help with any extra fuel needed if that will help.

Contact made. Now we need to get it carted to San Francisco area. That's where the shipper is.
