Let me throw this Monkey Wrench into the mix.
I got this off of the forum some time back.
The only difference between the two curves is that one has the stovepipe and one does not.
I took mine off.

Frankie Drake Mysteries is an TV detective series set in the 1920's. It airs on CBC - a Canadian TV network. Many of the outdoor scenes with motor cars use Model T's exclusively. Mostly black era cars - Tourings, Center doors, pickups, etc. All are nicely restored and real cars. Did any of our Cana...

If anyone in Portland knows where a pan jig is, it would be Jack in Tualitan.
PM or email me and I will give you his number.

Nearly every auto repair shop (Ford and otherwise) had a HCCT.
It was a money maker.
A HCCT cost s little as $40.
It didn't take long to pay for it self.

The "MORE POWER" obsession was brought on by the introduction of the BINFORD line of power tools.

Reamers can be re-sharpened.
Could this reamer be re-ground to an under size dimension?

Army TL-29.
Great for Dzus Fasteners.

These are the best you can buy

Here is another CGI Car.

I put my small parts organizers an a lazy-susan turntable.
It gives me a very high density storage on a small footprint.
It is also harder to stack stuff in front of to block access.

Banana Boxes. They are strong and durable.
Some of these are over 35 years old and still good as new.
And they are free at the grocery store.

No "T Style" door fits that good - custom or otherwise.

Me thinks it is a Photoshop creation. I have seen the same one in red elsewhere.

Another likely suspect - coils not up to snuff.

Here you go Burger.

OK - I started a "Show us your lathe" thread in the OT (Off Topic) forum.

Let's see what you got.

Many of us have a lathe to support our Model T and other projects.

Show us your lathe.

Mine is a PBR (Perico Baroni & Raimondi) made in Italy in 1966.
It's a 12 x 40 and can cut SAE & metric threads.
It replaced an Atlas 10 x 36 Pick-O-Matic lathe.

Early Food Truck

Here is what the internet says : The problem is that as those handles get old, they start releasing butyric acid and free acetic acid. Butyric acid, in particular, smells like smelly socks. It's a carboxylic acid, and the bad part is that it migrates within your confined toolbox, which means other ...

It's interesting to say the least.
Looks as though the "Bendix Gear" is engaged in the flywheel all f the time.
That raises a concern about longevity.

It took awhile but I finally finished the analysis of my tire slippage problem.
I have put together my findings in the attached document.
I believe there are two issues in play.
One with the wheels.
One with the particular tires that I had.
let me know what you think.

A Bridge Rectifier will not directly replace the single diode in this type of charger. One leg of the bridge will be a short to ground.

Here is a solution from a friend.

Original Ruckstel 3 to 1 ring gear bolts.
When the last one let go the ring gear simply moved away from the pinion gear.
All that happened is that I had "No Go"
And of course "No Brakes"

Here is the POR-15 I used

I used POR-15.
In my opinion, it is second only to powder coating.

Belliott3,
I did it in 2006.
I don't recall exactly how I rigged it.
The "X" was centered and the body was level.
Sorry I couldn't be more specific.

I did it alone.
I used a simple Engine Hoist and straps in an "X".
It was not difficult and I never felt out of control.

A friend found this in his Pile-O-Parts.
Apparently the mechanism hooks onto the coil points to prevent them from working.
When locked, the lid is not removable.

You would have to fold the windshield as well. Even then, some enclosed trailers may be too short. Does the trailer have a car door/ramp or is it the barn door style. The top will have to be disconnected from the rear sockets as it normally hangs over the back of the rear seat when it is down. It w...

I had a machinist friend do the work.
He squared off the broken area and made a piece to fit.
It is siver-soldered in place.

I'm retired and don't have time for that.

They are a bit brighter and use less power.

A.K.A. known as the Pig 'N Ford races.
Held annually at the Tillamook County Fair in Tillamook, Oregon.

A machinist friend put them in a 4-jaw and cut the recess for the seal.
The seal is a snug fit installed with Loctite.
It's good to have friends with skills.

In the photo below, the clutch arms are retained on the shaft by bolts - not riveted.
This is in an aluminum hogshead without the reinforcing ribs (early).
What year hogshead would this be?

Nik & John,

I emailed you.

John T,

I can help you with a meter.
Please post a picture of your HCCT.
You can contact me at : bcascisa@comcast.net.
Or PM me on the forum.

Ditto what Mark got

An actual original spark ring will be hard to find.
Try Bob Scherzer (bscherzer@juno.com).
He makes a spark ring that can be adapted to the Ford style units.

namdc3 is correct.
That's an observation I did not make.

To the best of my knowledge, only the original Ford produced units had the hand stamped 18Z245N180.

Original Ford HCCTs have 18Z245N180 hand stamped on the side of the base.
18Z245-A, -B, -C, etc. is cast into the various parts of the HCCT (base, spark ring, pulley, etc.) on Ford and some non-Ford units.
It's all explained in the book.

Jeff,
This could be one of the early Fairbanks copies.
They were produced without the hand stamped part numbers.

I have put the gasket between two wet paper towels and put it in the microwave for 60-90 seconds.
Let it rest for a minute then try it.

Strap them to a pallet and ship via Fastenal.
It would be reasonable.

Randy,
That is a very well made and nice looking HCCT.
It would be a great addition to any Model T workshop.
