I’ll take the intake Gene. Sent you a text. Thanks!

csnailnrun

My mistake. This is one perch. I thought it was a pair. Still available.

csnailnrun

I’ll take it Jay. Thanks.

csnailnrun

Can you upload a closer pic of the threads? The right perch looks as if the lower shank is smashed.

csnailnrun

Yes! Yes! Yes!

csnailnrun

Thank you for your input Dan. I'll looking for the clinchers you recommend and hope for a happy marriage!

csnailnrun

Hump day bump!

csnailnrun

Anyone running a set of these or know the appropiate lugs and rims?

csnailnrun

I'm not sure if I have a standard Hayes 23". Would you mind sharing a photo?

Howard, I assume the front hub is the T hubs right? I started to slide slide a refurbished one in but backed off to not scratch either as I was not ready to bolt everything up.

csnailnrun

Thanks Mark! Just imagine the cool factor increase once they are mounted

csnailnrun

I picked a pair of these up at an auction several years ago. I've since blasted, primed, and painted. Ideally I'd like to find two more to make a full set, but first I need to learn what type of rim and lugs are required. Save yourselves a lot of typing... Pictures is a thousand words

csnailnrun

Shucks. The Snail would have been perfect for me!

csnailnrun

Sent you an email

csnailnrun

That's cool you've opened your farm up for a pre-war swap meet. I wonder how far people will come to get their swap meet fix?
I may have to reschedule a home closing date to get the fix myself! haha

csnailnrun

I’ll take it Mark

csnailnrun

I'll take the two front's.

csnailnrun

I hope the buyers of Hanks engines have equally as stunning car for them to go into.

csnailnrun

I need two of these to finish my T. I've two in the rear; just need a set for the front.

csnailnrun

Thanks Hank!

I call it a horn bolt but these are to mount the horn to the bell.

csnailnrun

Yup. I went out for a ride this past weekend and lost three of these lil guys. Does anyone have a few (3) laying around in their junk bolts drawer?

Measurements are:

.463 long
.382 head width
~ 7/32 bolt width
.236 carriage square width

csnailnrun

Thank you Duane. I've sent you an e-mail.

csnailnrun

I need 6 of these.

Thank you for your services and enjoy your passion Glen!

csnailnrun

Bump again. Please help so I can stop bumping

csnailnrun

The piece Tim posted is very handing. Simple to instal and convenient operate!

csnailnrun

You sent the email to the wrong person Stan! Haha

csnailnrun

I’ll take your SB4.
I’ve sent you an email directly.

csnailnrun

Bob sold this trailer on eBay a while ago and I regret not going for it myself. It'd like to find a simple T trailer myself if anyone has one to get rid of.

Great design Hank! Very cool.

I sent you an email regarding the reflectors

csnailnrun

Glen,

csnailnrun

I'll take 2lbs if the wood screws.
Email sent. Thank you Roger

csnailnrun

Send them to Nashville.

csnailnrun

Thanks for the selling exclusion tip Cuda. The SignMan is burnt toast to me.

Sending you my contact info Darel.

Still looking for 6 "FIRESTONE" wheel clamps. Thanks for looking.

csnailnrun

I’ll be second in line for a single as well

I’m not that familiar Layden. Here’s a photo

csnailnrun

I need a planitor shifter if anyone has a spare as well. Thanks!

csnailnrun

Still on the look

csnailnrun

For the rear too I must add. Not sure if blanks/generics were offered of this style, but those will work too if so.

csnailnrun

Hope to find someone who has six of these laying around to help me out. Thanks for looking!

csnailnrun

The "cold" in the south doesn't work well. Mid January and still no snow!

csnailnrun

I bought this from Bill Houston 2 yrs ago. Looking at it makes me sick that the dumb bolt was left in the packing peanuts and broke it. I believe
Fred or someone hand painted it themselves.

Glass globes for fuel pumps.
Thanks for having me clarify.

csnailnrun

I'm in Nashville looking for a glass globe repairman. I was pouring packing peanuts over a glass globe I've had in a box for two years and a T part poured over on the globe and broke it. I should have left the damn thing unpacked being it's been safe for the past two years that way! There are a few ...

csnailnrun

I’ll take the two front doubles Dan if both bolt holes are in good condition.

csnailnrun

Ditto on the email Tony.

csnailnrun

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the straight shift handle is Under/Direct whereas the dog leg shifter will have all three gear options.

csnailnrun

I'm also looking for the brass cap nut over the float needle.

csnailnrun

I've read many articles and posts on varying preferred methods of balancing the wheels all to get a smooth ride. What I have not read is how anyone has determined the ounces to add in either dyna-beads or the stick on weights. The loose bearing method is great, but how do you go about calculating ho...

I spoke with technician Dave at SEM. FANTASTIC HELPER FYI! Anyhow, the "Sand Free" adhesion promoter is NOT the correct adhesion former :( Now I'll strip the plastic pieces back down using "Denatured Alcohol". Dave recommended SEM XXX Adhesion Promoter. I knew my expectations weren't unreal... just ...

csnailnrun

My expectations may be too high but folks have spoke highly of the product. To me, it's not too much to expect for a light contact with a fingernail to scratch off the paint. The paint has now been applied for four days now and still subject to the paint removal by light scratching.

csnailnrun

Non Model T... Hopefully this paint question is allowed? Has anyone used the plastic & vinyl paint supplies offer by year one? I've completed several pieces of plastic to be painted black from original white. I am concerned the paint is poor quality and subject to scratching easily. I'm working on m...

csnailnrun

I second this. Thank you Joe

csnailnrun

I’m looking for two bolts for the front of this spring accessory. This is bolt replaces the standard perch bolt which must be 5/8 longer. Same diameter of course. Any ideas of where to get a proper fitting bolt? No luck at Fastnal. Maybe someone has the correct bolts for this? Thanks!

csnailnrun

Hoping someone has three extra mirror wedges. If not, I’ll add to a vender order. Thanks!

Merry Christmas and God Bless us all

I wanted to to share a few notes I came across in material from my Great Great Uncle Taylor W. Douglas. The first is a comical statement describing the engine/trans operations followed by a letter from Bruce McCalley. The folder includes my uncle’s check ledger on a legal pad showing purchases as he...

csnailnrun

Thanks Kenny. My expectations were as you mentioned but wanted to get some second opinions. Thanks y’all.

csnailnrun

After reading my initial post, it’s confirmation I can’t watch the football game and type a full thought at the same time

What I was trying to ask was the measurable effects on cooling the coolant further with the finned aluminum pipe (or straight and cheaper aluminum pipe) vs my rubber flex hose.

csnailnrun

Is there measureable difference for those using the finned aluminum pipe (or cheap no finned pipe)? I assume there is when using a steal pipe depending on flow of coolant on a non-water pump T. Im using a rubber flex pipe and I’m not concerned with imagine for this hodge podge truck. Just functional...

csnailnrun

Dan, would zip tying my Peerless to the T hub accomplish that of a lathe? Clearly a lot slower rotation which may be the required case.

csnailnrun

The glass tube isn't broken. I'll try the options y'all suggested to get the mercury back to the bottom as it should be.
It is a Peerless. I assume the tubes are universal?

csnailnrun

Great feedback everyone.
My large motometer thermo tube is broken. the red (mercury?) fluid is, and has been since I bought it years ago, at the top of the tube. Now that I have the engine built and running, I'd like to have a working meter.

csnailnrun

Count me in as well

csnailnrun

Can the red temp indicator be replaced and purchased? If so, who has these for sale? Thanks!

csnailnrun

What is the purpose of the ball choke vs the air horn choke for these carbs?

csnailnrun

I tried again. If it didn’t go thru, email me at James dot snellen at gmail.com

csnailnrun

Thanks for the reminder on Gene!
I’ve emailed you Chadwick.

csnailnrun

I don't have access to those fun toys.
bump.

csnailnrun

I’ve a 5V I’m trying to restore and need some help. I’m in need of the needle valve assembly that sits between the fuel bowl and throttle barrel. My barrel plate is broke so I’m in need of that, a throttle arm, and choke spring.
Any help would be much appreciated.

csnailnrun

This was a well running machine! I was lucky to ride with Seth in the spring. Fun and fast!

Those will fit your engine well Hank

I've received help from a couple who are heading down to Nashville

Thank you!

csnailnrun

csnailnrun

Messaged ya Hank!

csnailnrun

Can y'all help me get my cut-out wired correctly? Which terminal does the yellow gen wire go to and the black seems to be a ground. The remaining terminal will be for the wire from the loom. I'm running a 6v system with mags and a battery if that helps.

csnailnrun

I plugged in the box size of 31/22/28 and 37lbs on the USPS site and then said the package is too big to ship. worthless usps website.

csnailnrun

I received a shipping quote from Fastenal and they wanted $180.76.

csnailnrun

Great tip Mark!

csnailnrun

Standard clamps do not work for this manifold.
Any other suggestions?

csnailnrun

Who is running a Himico manifold that can share if there is special install hardware? Fine thread hex bolts seem to be ok but the outer portions of the manifold is a similar dimple of a standard manifold. Maybe too innermost where the intake comes up. Any advice?

csnailnrun

csnailnrun

Thanks for all the suggestions y'all. I had it off while I put a new cam and reset the valves. There was a bit of 'gunk' sitting in the bottom of the lower spout. I suspect the cores are quite dirty.

csnailnrun

My '12 radiator needs a good core cleaning... It's too hot too quick

What recommendations do y'all have?
Thank you!

csnailnrun

Still holding out hope. Shipping quotes are coming in at 150 and higher.
Anyone traveling from Northern ILL to KY, TN or Northern OH in the near-ish future?
