Free Antique Car Mechanic's Reference Book "Automotive Trade Training" by Ray F. Kunz ca. 1922. Poor condition, the cover is loose and there's some moisture damage along with the expected wear and soiling. A lot of good information though. Also throwing in a rough copy of the 1918 edition of "The Mo...

FS: Pair of flint strikers for acetylene burners. Some guys like to accessorize their gas headlights with these, although I'm pretty sure they were intended for interior lighting. These look to be in good shape but the flints are long gone. These strikers are better quality than most of the ones I'v...

FS: one pair used acetylene burner tips, Colt size 3/4 with knurled bases. Used, not perfect, but quite nice. From what I've been told 3/4 is about the right size for a Model T Head light. $45 for the pair not including shipping. I also have a no-name 3/4 burner, and a Colt size 3/4 that looks a bit...

I am open to any reasonable offer, and I may be open to ridiculous ones as well.

FS: I found another E & J fancy tail light, that I believe was used on the closed cars (Coupelet, Centerdoor Sedan) for 1915. The steel parts are nice and solid. There are a couple of dents in the top and the burner is missing. The lenses are intact, but the big clear lens is starting to go purple. ...

Free: One 30333 Road Gear (58 Tooth) which is the gear you want if you're running Stewart Speedometers with 26-27 style "Balloon" Tires. This one is missing a tooth.

Thanks for looking!

I talked to the sheet metal guy, it can probably be pressed out and then possibly heated with a torch and quenched to shrink it if needed; not a big deal. According to him, the biggest, most time-consuming part of the job is to make the surface rust go away, so you can actually see where the dents a...

Allan, yes that's what happened here. I can't remember where I heard that phrase from originally; younger generations will undoubtedly be baffled by it. I haven't tried to pop it back out - the metal might have stretched a bit. I'll be seeing a body man later today, so I'll try asking him for some a...

FS: Rear Doors for a 1926 - 27 Touring. These doors came off of a California Desert car and are in pretty good shape, there's surface rust but little or no rust-through; they are quite solid. One of them is "oilcanned" and will need to be straightened, but that's alot easier than fixing rustout. The...

FS: One Cowl Light and one Tail Light in "Barn Find" condition. The tail light is nice and solid with good lenses, and it doesn't look like it's been monkeyed with except for the addition of an aftermarket bracket extension that I don't quite understand the purpose of. Also a cowl lamp, with good sh...

FS: A reproduction door for an E & J "1908" cowl lamp, right hand side, fits 1909-1912, and will work on 1913 and early 1914 lamps as well.

For Sale: One Brass "1908" tail light, refurbished, as used in 1910, 1911 and 1912. This light was basically pieced together from leftover parts; the door and fount are reproductions.

FS: One Kingston 4-Ball carburetor body only, the butterflys, balls, float bowl, etc. are all gone, just the body is here. The brass looks good, no cracks or major damage. It looks like a good start for a rebuild, but you don't know until you start digging into it. Asking $40 not including shipping....

Allan, It looks like an 11/16". It's hard to make out but I think there is a PLUMB logo stamped in the bottom. Let me know if this will work for you.

I recently acquired a used 5055 solid state cutout from Fun Projects - I'm assuming it's basically a diode with some sort of crowbar circuit to prevent a runaway condition. It seems to have a diode drop in the forward direction and a high resistance in the reverse direction. Does anyone have any rec...

OK, how does $20 sound?

The speedometer is still available - I'll consider any reasonable offer, and I'll probably consider outrageous ones also.

Maybe try antiquespeedometer.com?
I don't think repops would be too difficult to make using a laser cutter.

FS: two teens-era spotlights. The first one has a pull switch in the back and a nice reflector. The second one, like the first one, has a cracked glass. The second spot light opens up much like the earlier carbide lights, but, impractically, you have to remove the reflector to replace the bulb. SOLD...

Free: Some rough FORD-O style steel lantern parts. This one is a little different as it has a non-Ford mounting bracket, possibly to "update" earlier cars or perhaps even farm wagons.
