Re: SOLD: Really Cool Early Reliance Automotive Tool Kit with Lots of Tools and Original Tool Roll
What a neat item. I believe it’s identical to what is pictured in FoMoCo first accessory catalog. Circa 1907

Neat pair of early electric side lights w/ brackets $150ppd
Here is a neat pair of early electric jeweled sidelights. Comes with a pair of mounting brackets for very early auto or buggy. The brackets aren’t a perfect match, but pretty darn close. They could easily be shaped the same, but that’s a long walk form one side of the car to the other! Red jewels ha...

Re: Unknown Wire Wheels
To me, the hunt of this stuff is more than half the fun. I needed a rim for my set of sprangers and found it by asking around. My caps were rough so machined up a set, and also made some missing lugs. Turned out to be a great set that I would have today still had I not found an equally nice set of b...

Re: Unknown Wire Wheels
Pretty sure Spranger, made in Detroit. Pretty uncommon but a nice wire wheel. The lug nuts are wrong, I may have a loose one here somewhere. I sent a beautiful set to Australia, and a friend in meechigan has a set.

Noah Stutzman told me a while back he was no longer selling loose spokes. Way too many times people would buy the wrong spokes, half ass assemble a wheel, wondered why they didn’t fit well or didn’t run true. After that, Stutzmans would have to wear the Straw Hat for the problem. Just wasn’t worth i...

Re: Spoke crack too cracked?
We see this all the time with spoked wheels. We’ve seen guys want to turn spokes themselves from some heirloom tree. We see guys buy spokes, make a press, assemble a wheel and then try to figure out why it doesn’t revolve true. For the cost of those spokes, and ONLY a couple bucks more, you can get ...

Re: Carburetor to manifold gasket material
Just a small point. I believe they are actually brass, which with ford is a cheaper material. I can measure the brass thickness if anyone actually cares. It’s very thin. The core is asbestos.

Re: Carburetor to manifold gasket material
If you look close, the metal edge is rolled, to make a nice seal. Remember , gasoline constantly flows through this joint. Do you really think just any material( cardboard) is a good seal? IMHO real gasket material would be a fine substitute, but not just a piece of unknown cardboard. F7683015-73FC-...

Re: Carburetor to manifold gasket material
I’ve always wondered why these were used originally. FoMoCo was the pinnacle of K.I.S.S. There must have been a good reason back then, otherwise they would have punched out paper gaskets. I’ve given these out as gifts for years, but just enough for me remain here. 5814738D-0F2B-4341-AEC1-040D92E89DF...
