After a little coaxing, I was able to remove the passenger side headlight lens to change a bulb on my ‘ 24 Touring.
A previous owner added the black tape pictured.
Was this his way of keeping the rope gasket in place or am I missing a bracket of some type?

They have a set listed for $675.
I was told that there is a six-year wait on them.
Are there other vendors I should try or individuals who would make a set?

It seems that ND rims are not plentiful.
Do many who tour regularly and are not interested in show judging convert to all demountable rims?

Re: FOR SALE: Seat Upholstery
These two bolts of material were wrapped up and in the backseat of the ‘13 Touring I purchased last summer.
There was a piece of masking tape marked 1915 Touring on one of the two pieces.
I hope the two photos with the tape measure help identify these.

1913 Stewart and Clark Model C Speedometer
From what I've read the correct speedometer head for my July '13 Touring would be a Stewart and Clark Model C.
Is the head marked Model C anywhere?
I've seen a number of the earlier Model 26 heads but have not seen a Model C up close.
Thank you,
Gene

Re: Old 16mm Movies of MTFCI Events
Great footage and very enjoyable. A wonderful glimpse into days gone by. This is just a curiosity question and may be somewhat rhetorical. I wonder if the brass car hobby in 1971 was more accessible to the middle class than it is today? When I look at the prices of the brass cars listed on the Horse...

Bolts for Attaching Carbide Tank
A generous MTFCA member found the carbide tank pictured and sold it to me after going through it. I got the carbide tank attaching bolt kit from Lang’s but the square at the top of the neck of the bolts does not pass through the square holes in the base of the tank. In other words the bolts do not s...

Attaching Data Plate 1913 Touring
What is the best way to attach the data plate (smaller version) to the firewall?
I assume that mine is a reproduction as it is not stamped?
It has 4 small holes in the corners but is it easier to attach with double-sided tape?
Thank you experts.
Stay safe!

Re: Raising The Upper Windshield 1913 Touring
Once working well, is it necessary to loosen/tighten with a screwdriver when changing position from up to down or visa versa?
Or does that larger nut (for lack of a better term) on the inside loosen and tighten the windshield?
Thank you, John and Scott, for the other valuable tips.

Raising The Upper Windshield 1913 Touring
I have not tried to raise the upper windshield on the 1913 Touring that I purchased last summer.
I’ve oiled the hinges with Kroil and let them sit for a few days.
Does anyone out there have a similar set up?
I do not want to force anything.
Thank you,
Gene

I saw a cardboard sign inside a T that was part of a small local gathering that read:

I thought that about summed it up.
