We are offering a new design of the accessory Stromberg choke control. These were very late production, but work the same as the design we made 100+ of. That style is sold out. This new design has less parts, easier to assemble, much stronger graphics and we can offer them for $135 ppd to your door....

I’m interested, Michael. I’ll send an email

I love to see solid rubber tires on early Ts. Great save. Lifetime tires AND a mobile massage chair. Win/win. Stutzman wheel in Baltic,Ohio can replace hard rubber tires if anyone has some that are too far gone. Very reasonable, too.

Dropacent

We made a small batch of Carter carb choke controls. Carter is probably pretty late for model T , but perhaps you have something else in the stable that could use this. We can supply with either model T shaped mounting bracket or just about any size round bracket. $135 ppd. Tmorsher@icloud.com to re...

We made a small run of ZENITH choke controls that mount on your steering column. If you run an aftermarket carb, these sure make their use a lot more pleasant. Why try to rig up the choke rod or use some modern looking thing. Limited supply right now, $125 ppd. We will supply with the model T shaped...

I’m missing the cover page but I believe this is the Canadian Ford catalog. Someone mentioned Roberts, that was in Sandusky Ohio. Right at the lakeshore. They made a lot of marine motors, mostly stand alone, but also a model T conversion. 11FA6F3B-CAAF-42F1-B596-DD76273577F8.jpeg 539FA490-61ED-4186-...

Even better, thanks RV ! I edited the first post to pass that info on. Same price, though.

I was told this was a cutout. I’m thinking more a carburation device. Anyone know?

I price things to quickly disappear. My theory is the more people that kick the tires and you go back and forth with , the less you make. Instinct gives me my prices, and some may disagree with my instincts, but I do price things hoping they go quickly. Henry made $$ on volume. Also, RARE does not a...

Here’s a very hard one to find in its original form. They originally were diecast , prone to swelling, cracking and I doubt they ever made that many to begin with. Have you ever had a chance to purchase one? Here’s the next best thing. This is made right here in Norwalk, Ohio USA it will have a numb...

Dropacent

Dan is correct, they did make a nice unit especially for fords. They were an upscale maker, and I think the one for Ts even had a light on it. That’s why a purchase oF Russ’s book is a smart investment. Knowledge is power! I had a rear axle drive for one but I think it went to Russ, perhaps he still...

Here’s an era accessory.

Variations of same theme. I’m going to use the bottom one on a project, the top one is available to a tinkerer. I’ve seen a foot-lever-from-the-seat design that intrigues me. Two repaired shoulders here.

Dropacent

Great Tony! It’s so tempting for some to walk away from a small problem. You have powered through many. You have old time perseverance, sadly lacking today in most. Gosh, i sound like an old fudd

Tom, I have a NOS one. I’ll post a picture for you, to decide whether it would help your situation.

Rich has it right, IMHO. I have a nice pair for each car, but they are in a tub marked with the car name. I like things complete, it’s a mental problem, I know.

Dropacent

Water will swell a paper gasket that has shrunk. Done it many times, and one supplier even used to put a note with their gasket sets. I’ve never tried it on cork, but would probably depend on composition. If anyone really wants cork, as you can see I have a supply. Glad to help out, just ask.

Dropacent

Yup! Dave’s got a memory like a steel trap

Dropacent

Great solution, Jeff. Friend Jarvis saw this thread and sent me these. With his permission, I am posting. It shows very nicely the original open back valve cover. Back then they didn’t care a ding dong about a little oil spray. 7E3C43D6-AF70-4C1A-9CBE-2132BA657287.jpeg 0915783A-6B3A-4992-AE64-EFD208...

Thanks Charley, I looked up some ads so all set. I’ll likely make a fake wood one. Of course, if anyone has the missing piece, I’m a likely buyer. Thanks for saving it, Tom ! And Scott, I’d be glad to send IT FOB to you, just holler!

Pretty sure those two covers are a fantasy item. I made the patterns 20+ years ago and sold lots of them. The original valve cover Rajo supplied was one piece, open at the back to clear the dash. I’ve never seen an original , but likely there are some out there. Using one of those sure will not help...

Dropacent

Looks like some really good stuff. I would have thought maybe an original station wagon body for that price, but she looked to be well done, and if you pay yourself any wage, you couldn’t make one for that.

I have at least a half dozen sets of front fender braces. These were sold back in the day because the front fenders tended to droop a little or sometimes a lot.

Allan, Even though I’m an accessory nut, I probably would not have attached one to everything here, but 10 years ago a cracked arm got by my rebuilder and myself until I was installing in a chassis.

Scott, unless things have changed drastically , we only used 50’ lengths of fire hose. None of us were man enough to carry 100’ in each hand. My point being , So. Pittboig may be sporting 49’ hoses.

Both conveyor belting and fire hose are great ideas. We lived near a quarry for awhile and I have conveyor belt mats all over the shop areas. When I need a small piece I just bend over and slice what I need. When I left the fire department, I took my big long hose with me, so have that covered, too....

The ones we make and sell through Lang’s and Snyder’s have a thin piece of neoprene, so any oil that may get on it doesn’t swell it. You want it snug, and that does the trick. ( semi-shameless plug )

Very nice early tachometer head with the nearly-always-missing drive mechanism. The head has been taken apart and is clean as a whistle, and looks great. The drive gearing has been taken apart, checked and deagreased, so you are not buying junk here. $275 postage paid to your door. This is a North E...

It is a neat item, Sam. Display proudly. The earliest use I’m aware of the famous Ford script was the name plate on the 1905 model F ford.

Sam, they got it for you. From my poor memory, I believe 1904 was the first year that FoMoCo put their name on a hubcap, and that was on the 4 cylinder model B. They were assemblers, and not manufacturers so they did buy a catalog item in the basic hubcap and applied this medallion. It was quite a w...

Zenith HP4A is really nice for a mild one. HP5A for a massaged one. IMHO. Straight up bolt on with a stock stub manifold.

Dave, there is really no such thing with an alphabet car. These are not one of the 15,000,000 T engines. FoMoCo made roughly 1200 A & AC. 800 C, 1000 F, ......just guessing, you can look up the actual number. If an original broken, damaged, worthless looking block would stick its head up today, it w...

That would be really neat Dave, but each of those motors is easily $15-20,000. Maybe a graphic art display would be the way to go.

Since we are showing off our equipment, here’s mine. I was an upholsterer in a past life. Most people think size matters, and if so, I win.
