WTB I am looking for a seat frame for the 1915 Roadster I purchased don't know what body it has I do know there is no B or H
on the seat kick panel. I will attach a picture of what is there looks like the seat frame must have had some sort of clips that
secured it to the seat kick panel.
Thanks

Thanks fo...

Thanks Scott, it was a running car the older owner passed away it must have a different transmission as it only
has 2 pedals on the floor a 2 other shifters in the floor. The car is out of town so I haven't put my eye on it just pictures.

Are there folks out there that are familiar with the Frontenac conversions on the T engines?
I am considering purchasing a 1911 Roadster Torpedo that has the Frontenac conversion but has not run in several
years and I am not familiar with them.

I'm still looking Craig has a 13 and 14 beautiful ones but are show cars. I need a driver and something I can either restore or put
my touch to.

Thanks I appreciate the info. The 13 looks great.

Looking for a 1912 or 1913 Runabout/Roadster restored or (unrestored but must have all pieces).

Does anyone know where I can have a 1913 Touring side lamp glass made? All the ones I see that you can purchase are 3 1/2" X 3 1/2" square
mine are 3 3/4" X 3 3/4" square.
Thanks

I am in the process of restoring the firewall on my 13 Touring and under the coil box it has Syverson Cabinet Company Des Plaines Ill. I went to the internet and it showed they moved but no date of when the move took place. I was just trying to get a idea of when this fire wall could have been made....

Thanks Steve, good info I will check the timing. I took the car out yesterday for a cruise first time I have drove a T it ran fine. Only thing I noticed since it doesn't have a water pump and it was warm here yesterday it heated up when I let it idle to much.

Thanks to all of you for the information, I am amazed more everyday with this car. I am trying to research where it came from and who made the body that is very interesting as well.

Thanks Dan, the headlamps are the acetylene Ford Model 656 made by E&J the side lamps and tail lamp are the kerosene. It starts fine on warm days on magneto but when it is cold it needs the battery. I will check to see if someone around the Houston Texas area has the correct equipment to tune the ti...

Thanks Steve, I appreciate the info. I got a lot to learn about these cars.
Mike

Thanks Steve, so the coils will be good with a 6 or 12 volt doesn't matter? I didn't know if the higher 12 volt would damage the coils.

Hand crank as I understand the 13's do jot have the option for electric start.

I am a new T owner and just purchased a 13 Touring car the person i bought it from used a 12 volt battery for cold weather starts. Should I use a 6 volt or 12 volt to fire the coils for cold starts? Would the 12 volt damage them?
