I thought about July of 1912 was when the riveted style started, and the adjustable was phased out?

Benji

Thanks so much for that info! Im lost on anything before 1912 and after 1915/16. My buddy found it for me at hershey and from a quick pic sent by his wife I thought, "oh! A 1913 fender! I need one of those! I'll take it!" It wasnt until I got to see it up close I thought it may be earlier. But the r...

Thanks all, I reckon I wasnt that far off then.

Late 09-10

I added a few pics of the rivet pattern. I always thought they were "square" and not the V shaped like you see.

Evening all.

I have this rear fender that I though was originally a late 09 to 1910. But the rivet pattern has me thinking it may not be Ford at all? Looks about the same size as my 1913 rears. The eye fender iron clamp and the sheet metal bracket look like Ford. A little stumped.

emailed and sent a text about the axle

Thats interesting. Some pics I found on the forum (new and old), don't show the needle guide. I wonder if it's an earlier design?

I think ill keep the needle guide carb for the 13 runabout.

I have three 1913 Holley S carburetors, as well. All have the valve needle guide.

Pulled an unknown hub puller out of the evaporust bucket today. I'm unsure what it fits though. It's 2 7/8" diameter from the outside of the threads.

Benji

Anyone know about early carbs?

Benji

So I found another Holley S carb in the house, so I have 3 now to look at. I cracked open all 3 to see whats going on inside. 2 have the same valve seat, and the third one has a completely different one. As you can see, it has a guide for the valve needle, whereas the others do not. Is this a later ...

Benji

Ya know, I've been wondering about that choke lever being a replacement. And I was surmising the same thing you are, as being from a Holley G. I just hadn't checked today and wasn't going to say much until I did. But, I think it's a possibility since that carb has a new needle and looks reworked. I ...

Benji

Everything is brass, and besides, these are 1913 year carbs, so predate Americas involvement in World War One by almost 4 years. I checked Bruce's book to no avail, and went through the others along with Rodda.. So Im completely at a loss as to why there are these differences in the carbs. Looking c...

Last few pics

Benji

evening all. Seems I have 2 Holley Model S 2 screw carbs. At first I thought they were identical, but now I see some differences. In the bowl, choke and throttle levers, and the 2 screw cover plate. The bowls have a different shape. The cover is thicker on one than the other, and there are differenc...

Benji

The judging guidelines weren't too clear (I think I have the 7th edition). I will double check later. But for 13, they didn't specify, I think. They use the terms "early" and "late" but I have no idea if they mean calender or model year. I'm more inclined to use the no bump because of that very tran...

Benji

I can't seem to find any pertinent dates on when the switch from the no bump driveshaft bearing spool to bumped version happens. I have a January 1913 roadster project. I have, what tantamount to being, a 1911 to 1912 2 piece driveshaft with the no bump spool. Has the earlier style ball end without ...

Im working on a January 1913 Roadster build and i have 2 different 2 piece driveshafts. This one is earlier than the other drive shaft I have based on the Judging Guidelines/ Roddas books. I'm curious if anyone may know the specific use dates of this particular 2 piece driveshaft of mine, meaning wo...

Benji

Mike: thanks for the link! I think I may have come across him before, but am saving al, his videos and will watch them this weekend. What briefly I saw looks neat! Luke: thanks again for your detailed descriptions. Watched a couple stumping videos the other day. I see if my neighbor down the street ...

Benji

Hey all! Can't thank you enough for the replies. Lots of outstanding work, and you gave me a good idea of what I need. Swap meet season is coming up, so this info gives me a good idea on what to look out for. Especially good brands. I dont mind spending a bit extra for good tools and tooling. I'll d...

Benji

evening all. I'm looking to invest in a quality hammer and dolly set (either new, or well maintained used). Whats a good set off hammers and dollys that would be great for T body use? I'm also looking into investing in an English wheel and a nice bead roller too. Nothing way pricey, but what would b...

Benji

Hey Bob, Appreciate the advice. Unfortunately without the body plans, the project is halted indefinitely. Im not putting time and money into something where I cannot have a finished body for it. If I can't get plans, then its over. I just wish whomever bought the plans would start selling them again...

Benji

Mike,
Definitely no clamps. Original tubes had a "bubble flare" like end. Not exactly a bubble flare, but close. I have an original 13 and 14 radiator that still has the original T and tubing if you need a pic.
Benji

Benji

Hey Bob! Thats what I came across as well when I was searching the past forums. Someone bought the plans, and nothing came of it. Its been in limbo since last year. I'd wish they'd offer them up for sale! I have 5 years invested in collecting parts for these cars, and now, as of tonight, its all dea...

Benji

I've been out if th Model T game for a while until recently. Work "life" got in the way for a long time. Now I'm trying to get my projects sorted and started on. I have a 1913 Touring and 1913 Roadster I need the wood body plans for. I have absolutely nothing to work off of on the roadster as all I ...

Benji

John, I'm in the same boat. Except I need 3, 2 for 13s and 1 for a 14. My originals look a tad deflated. I found this on ebay, and I'm probably going to order one. Based on the measurements given, it will be fairly close to the original specs. I think its about 3.75 by 5.9 an a .59 inner diameter on...

Benji

Looks great! How did you make it?

Benji

Looks like a 1913

Benji

Joe,

Is your January 1913 car all original?
Does it have the little circle in the nose like in the picture here?

Evening all, Been going through stuff for my various projects that have been on the backburner a few years. I have a cast-iron Warford 920-2 in the barn for a speedster project. In doing a bit more research, it seems I'm lacking the front coupler ball/ U Joint housing that connects the front of the ...

Benji

Evening all, I recently picked up this wrench. It looked familiar so I grabbed it. From some searching it appears to be the 1910 T1349 wrench. I just want to double check. Curious too, as to value? I dont really ask that question, but I think these are hard to find. Im always looking to supplement m...
