I'll consider any reasonable offers, and I may even consider ridiculous ones.

Make offer.

All of these are spoken for.
Thanks MTFCA.

This is a common 1917-25 style spindle, but apparently a bearing cage or something came loose and cut a groove about 3/16" deep. Yes I know they don't make 'em anymore, but there are still a lot of these around. I just hate to throw it out if there's a chance someone might need it. Is it worth savin...

FS: Reproduction cast brass turtle deck latch escutcheons for early to mid-teens Model T Ford Roadsters. They have been counterbored for the latch lever but will still need to be sanded and polished to make them look presentable. AFAIK these are not being reproduced at this time. Asking $8 per pair,...

a raw unmachined brass casting, that I believe was intended to be a gas cap for a brass-era speedster. The OD is approx. 2.7", and the walls are 0.14" thick at the bottom. They taper inward so they get thicker as you go up, leaving plenty of room to cut threads. The overall height is 1.57" approx. N...

Revised this ad to reflect current trends in pricing.

It also reflects the fact that I refuse to pay someone to haul them away.

FS: Roadster / Touring door skin fits 14-25. Fair condition, fairly straight but there's pinhole rust in a few places around the bottom. SOLD.

Thanks for looking!

Thanks for looking!

FS: Set of Hassler single "pancake" shocks for the front. Includes two spring mounts, two springs, and two arms. These look like they can be restored without too much trouble, the holes for the shackle bolts aren't all wallowed out. Asking $225 not including shipping. thpsf03.jpg thpsf01.jpg thpsf04...

Free: Two steering gear cases. One has a crack all around the bottom from being worn almost all the way through, the other has a small-caliber bullet hole in it. Both have decent threads and neither are egg-shaped from being dropped, these are almost too good to throw in the scrap pile. They are you...

That's a good question; unfortunately it was done before my time so I don't have a good answer. It may have been done overseas and imported by the Greenland Company.

FS: Another reproduction brass steering wheel spider, fits a wheel with approx 12 3/8" ID. One or two of the arms are slightly bent. It's brass, though; a magnet does not stick to it. Asking $85 not including shipping.

Free: A solid-roller driveshaft bearing and and axle bearing. These probably made around 1960 and were never installed. Solid roller bearings don't work very well on Model T's but they're cheaper to make than the original Hyatt bearings. There are some rust spots on these; I don't know how usable th...

How about $20? Make offer.

Free: Several Pre-War? Racing Spark Plugs, Champion R 18 Bright. Never installed, apparently. The problem is that these were flooded out at some point and became badly rusted as a result. I don't know if any of these will clean up, but these are "take apart" plugs so you might be able to salvage the...

Free: 3 cast iron intake manifolds, including 2 that don't have the Ford Script (probably pre-1920.) You pay shipping, which will be $18.20 for a USPS Medium Flat Rate Box.

Well, if she's going to get anywhere selling sockets to remove turbo-encabulator valves, she needs to be sure and include a reciprocating Dingle arm to reduce sinusoidal depleneration. Otherwise, the deal is off!

Spoken for. Thanks MTFCA.

FS: Brass etched "Auto Synchron' ignition switch plates for 1913-1915 Model T Ford Coil Boxes. I'm quite sure these were originally sold by the Greenland Company in the late 1960's or early 1970's.

Free: what's left of a Stewart dash-mount speedometer, appropriate for a 1920-1925 Model T Ford, if I'm not mistaken. It was left in a bucket that filled up with water for several months, resulting in a speedometer that is mostly junk. Maybe some of the brackets, etc., or brass gears can be salvaged...

FS: Another pair of Jno Brown 110 side lights, for parts or restore. These are the later versions, the entire chimney is steel with the exception of the brass tops.

FS two ignition switches for "improved" 1926 and 1927 Model T Fords. The top one is missing the ammeter and the back of the switch is a little beat up, takes a type 65 key.

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.

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. It's too good to scrap; maybe you can braze a chunk into the empty spot and file it to shape if you need another project. I don't need...

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.
