Thanks Jim. I can see how that will work, but I'd like to see evidence that that is how it was done on the production line. My gut feeling is that the safety wiring done on T's was just done to achieve the same result as split pins on castle nuts, to stop the nut backing off. We have the time to do it better when restoring, but it may be a case of...

Erik, you must be the camera whisperer. LOL Those are two droolworthy box cameras right there.

Here's a photo of some metal work. Im shaping this patch for Chads gowjob project.

Nice!

I have had oxy/acetylene for many years and love its versatility. Bought a Miller mig outfit several years ago and can now weld stainless and aluminum too. A revelation! When you finish the welding course, try blacksmithing. It is a blast, and you will be able to fabricate anything! Have fun and best of luck, Bill

What size rear end did you have?

I'm running 3:1 in a stock rear axle...wouldn't mind having a Ruckstel though...just can't afford one. I also rarely drive my car over 35 mph and the modern Rockies only work going forward, not backwards. So forget them holding you on any hill...they wont! But those Model T Ranch brakes sure...

Looking great Ignacio!

You probably already know this, but when you press in the hubs, be sure to align the 6 bolt holes in the hubs with the seams between the spokes. In other words, when you drill the bolt holes, half of the hole should be in one spoke, while...

I am truly moved and motivated by all of y’all’s love and support. I’m honestly surprised how much my perception of life has changed and how much my life has really changed in the past eight months. About 9 months ago I was flipping burgers and thinking about dropping out of school and also had no idea how cars, construction, metal fabrication...

I have the earlier style Rocky's with cast iron drums on my 13 touring for over 20 yrs. and like them.....except when they get wet. When wet , I ride the brakes early to help dry them out when going down hill or approaching a stop sign. I have the internal brake band adjusted loose but can lock up the wheels by stomping on the peddle. I do not...

I apologize for my poor communications skills, I was NOT advocating the new Services category be scrapped. My concern was that moving on topic content to the services category would only be an appeasement IF it remained an obscure category; IF it became widely popular, the complaints would just begin again. Then (and ONLY THEN), perhaps an...
