Steve, This is from an earlier posting but I still have them.

This is a spare that I have, it is identical to the NOS one that I put into my new rebuild as you can see it is magnetic. Along side of it is a couple of brushes that I made from an old motor brush like the one behind. Jim

If you already have a Ford spare carrier all you should have to do is unbolt the "Y" and the wires should be able to bolt onto the triangle part that is hidden beneath. Hope I explained it clearly. Jim Ps. I added a couple pics of the one from my roadster the stock ones I would think are about the s...

If you look at the photo of the underside of the bed there is no battery or holder frame to be seen. Jim

The view is much better from up here!

Is this what you're wanting? If so $30.00 plus postage shouldn't be much. Jim

Bob, You might want to repost this add in the classifieds parts section. I think you would get more responses. Jim

Thanks for the replies Folks, I think I now know what I need to fabricate or purchase to finish this project. Also a special thanks to K for the additional photos. Jim

Maybe it's just my eyes but I see no hole for the dipper to push the oil through where the scoop is missing. Jim

K, Thanks for posting those pics. What I'm wondering is what is used to keep the lid from falling through the hole. I can see something in your pics but can't quite make it out. Thanks again Jim

Thanks Scott, this is just what I've been searching for. Jim

Same here can't open it. Steve, If we can't get Scott's link to open that would give us another option. Thanks Jim

Same here can't open it. Jim

Looking for dimensions and or pics for the battery cover and the way it fits into the bed. I have the wood cut and rabbited for the floor but unsure of how the cover fits and whether I have to do more modifications to the opening when I go to cut it in. Thanks in advance for the help. Jim

Anyone have a dimensional drawing of one? I would like to try and make one for my jig. Thanks Jim

Abakca, My Sister in law lives on the other side of the island in Kona. Jim

Had this on my workbench at work for years. Jim

John, are either one of these what you are looking for? I see no numbers or markings. Jim

Here you go Ben.

My dog Hank and I walk 3-4 miles a day around town and I generally find change every day, it usually totals out to a goodly sum this year was no different. We start and stop on march 18 which is my mothers birthday. When I total it up I match it and donate the full sum to a charity in remembrance of...

Here is what I have on my 26 it is a three holer with a brace on the inside and one under the floor attached to the framework. Jim

Steve, I love your last line, most of all coming form your your not to distant past episode. Jim

Where is this located, Google maps show three Monroe's MI.,Oh.,NC.

From what I've read here it is sold. Jim

I started off the new year 2025 with a little frozen ride at about 31*. I've already got about 3 1/2 miles so far this new year. My co pilot Hank and I drove down to the Sandusky bay for our annual new years day ride, it was spitting snow and very windy. Fun none the less. Happy New Year to All! Jim...

Took it out for a little ride today 50 degrees and sunny perfect T weather.

Sandusky bay in the background the old Cedar Point ferry dock in the background on the left.

Santa has gone home till next year but his house is still here.

Pic #4 reminds me of when we were kids Dad would pull us around behind our 54 Ford wagon. Fun times, nowdays he probably would be in jail and us kids in foster care.

Pat has the solution, internal pipe wrench. Jim

Audrey, Welcome to the hobby. Before you try to move the car make sure the emergency brake lever is about half way down this way you have as close to neutral as you can get. By doing this you at least may be able to move it without damaging something in the driveline. Jim

Sorry to hear and see that Jeff, let me know if I can help. Jim

Well since everybody seem to be showing theirs I might as well also. I charged my magnets after first demagnetizing them it seemed to work much better that way. Got em all charged up and are in my newly rebuilt engine and running super. I used a 36volt golf cart battery charger for juice. Jim IMG_11...

Thanks Dan, hex it will be. Jim

You might also try a local uniform rental business, I used to get mine from our local one after they were taken out of service at a pretty good discount. Then you can get whatever logo you want mounted on it. Jim

As long as we are discussing these beds I have looked thru a lot of former posts and can't find an answer to my question which is, What style of bolts do I use to mount it both to the frame and to the fenders? The existing holes are round so I don't think they are a carriage style of bolt, I'm think...

Looks like he must have some very stubby legs from the way he's sitting. Jim

I beg to differ Tim I am a little further I had a 129 miles when I got back to the barn. A most excellent tour. Jim

And just how many automobiles were there in 1900? And how many are there today? Big difference. Jim

Mark, The bank came in the mail today "beautiful" is all I can say. Hope my check gets there as fast. Thanks Jim

Mark, I would like the dog bank will call. Jim

Joe sent you an email. Jim

#1 That's one way to have whitewall tires.

Herb, It's got three pedals you could pick it up quite easily. And with those shoes she is wearing she could probably drive a early T fairly easy. Jim

I believe photos 3 & 6 are the same car with the same fake background most likely a photo booth. Jim

Went to a sale today and bought a small tote of miscellaneous auto parts for five dollars they also had a couple of oil cans I picked one up and asked how much and the nice lady said just take it so I did.

He's from the Netherlands so there might be some translation needed. Jim

Cam bearing clip? Jim

I was out in the garage this evening looking through my stash and found four, all were black under all the crud plus the one on my roadster makes five all black. Jim

This one is farther down in the in the adds. Don't know if still available. Jim

Yeah John, I was looking at that photo kinda close and it looks like he's got some lumber jammed under the front tire I think he might have gotten into some soft soil or sand and is trying to lift er out. And the second pic I hope that gun wasn't loaded that lady in the back could end up bald or wor...

Steve, I believe that was instituted because of all the idiot "AI" crap we were being inundated with a while back. JIm

Here Ya go. Jim

Spotted this on facebook thought this group might enjoy. Jim

Thanks Kevin, I suggested some of the Nitrophyl or even cork which I have both on hand but he wants to keep it original. So he said today he was able to find the leak and he thinks he can give it a light solder and be home free. He is very experienced at modern carbs and most if not all the local fo...

A friend is trying to rebuild a B&B carb the only numbers we can find are SU12A and 54824 the float has a hole through it and is leaking. It is 1-3/4'' high X 1.783 dia. with a 1/4'' inside dia. tube down the center which is where the leak is. We would like to find a replacement if possible. I sugge...

This what you are in search of? Jim

#9 not the way to tighten your spokes. Last one It's running a little hot so I'll just melt my way through.

Jim

Doug, You may have to make up a round shim to fit between the crank and flywheel with the appropriate holes for pins and bolts. Not my favorite way of doing it but might get you out of a tight spot in a hurry. Jim

Thanks for the replies so far, I think the linseed oil sounds the best to me since I have some on hand. As far as the plastic or nylon I'm cheapskate so didn't even ask if it was available. Jim

Got a new wood kit for my coil box, wondering what if any color it should be or maybe just clear coat with some varnish. I searched the older posts but came up empty. Any suggestions wood be appreciated. (pun intended) JIm

Pics borrowed from Ebay. Jim

Could be out of a Champion plug cleaner/ tester, seems I had seen one or similar one in the inner workings once. Jim

Ray, I checked my stash but they are all 6'' diameter. Sorry

Jim

Without something for size with it I'd have to say that it's a two piece wire wheel hub puller, bolt them together and start yankin. Jim

Just found out about this but it ends in two days looks like some good deals. Jim

Speaking of perspective the snow girl in pic #9 looks like she is resting her arm on a drum style head lamp. Jim

Ray, Could you maybe post a pic of the one you do have, some of us have parts but don't know the years they fit. Thanks Jim

Got the Vintage Ford last Saturday and the T Times today. Hope Tim got his this time.

Jim

Thanks guy's, But it 's no jewel, going to take some work to get it back in shape. It has had the holes welded shut and other holes bored into it. I haven't had time look close at it but I think somebody welded the legs along the side. I'll have to spend some time on it come spring. Jim PS. Thanks R...

It now resides in Sandusky, Ohio. Jim

Just came in the mail. Jim

I forgot to mention the waters that you can see in the background is Sandusky Bay that empty's into Lake Erie. The structure you can see in the one background is the coal docks they ship coal all over the Great lakes from there. Tim, Art and myself plus various other club members go gallivanting all...

Went out on the First as I always try to do took pictures but none turned out, so today Hank and I tried again. We put about seven miles on the T it was a bit cool at 31* but we managed to survive. Happy New Years to everyone. Jim

Gotta break the new pup in proper!

Bruce, Had mine out today air temp was 31* F and after about seven miles around town pumpkin was at 46*F. It was rather cool but when I'm out in the T it don't seem so cold. Jim

jab35, The article you posted reminded me of a Pabst bottle I've had for about 45 years found it under a house they were going to tear down to expand a warehouse for a beer distributor of all things. I believe that it was a bar back in the teens or before. The bottle has no mention of a blue ribbon ...

Here is a wood one https://www.mtfca.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=40573 no connection. Jim

In looking this picture over I see two things that really stand out to me and that is I can only make out maybe three cars that are closed one of the three appears to be a utility type like a bread truck upper left near buildings. The other thing that stands out is the steering wheels are mostly app...

Andrew, These starters have a babbitt washer on the brush end which can start to crumble allowing the armature to move about uncontrolled. This could be your noise. I'm no expert just what I have found in a couple of recent rebuilds for myself. Jim

Andrew, If you decide to pull the starter be sure to remove the bendix from the shaft first, you run the risk of damage to the magneto if you don't. One thing I don't think was mentioned it could be a bent armature shaft. Jim

Gee, All I found in mine was mouse turds and corn.

Jim

Hey Steve, Greetings from northern Ohio. Great to see you back in the drivers seat even though it's for a photo op. Praying that soon you will be driving for real. I'm wanting to know if those spokes on your motivation device in the background are actually Hickory. :lol: God be with in your recovery...

Naw, can't be floorboards not enough pre drilled holes.

If you enlarge by clicking on it you can see that it is just a shadow from his bowl cut haircut. Jim

I have a set of .015 oversize Ford NOS I picked up at Hershey several years ago, they had some rust over the years but polished up pretty good. They run about .449-.450, 5 are marked Ford 426 AR E,1 is marked just ford and the last 2 no markings at all. Not the prettiest but if you like them we can ...

Hank, If you have a manifold cooker you can throw spare stones in it and take an extra long trip.

Jim

Number 1 photo and the third from bottom are the same car, looks like they have a steering stabilizer of some sort attached to the center of the axel. Jim

My neighbor puts on big display every year and this year he asked if I would loan him my 26 Goaster of course I said yes. The black wall in the background is his tunnel of terror and the one picture shows the line of people waiting to go through. Mister bones in front of my T has jumper cabels hooke...

I got tired of my hands being black after going for a ride so I scrubbed it down about the same as you did and before reassembling it to the spider I gave it several coats of rattle can satin clear coat. It's been about three years and 3,000 miles now and no black residue so far. Jim

While shopping with my wife and daughter the other day we happened to go to Hobby Lobby and while strolling around I ran across this leather, looked to be good enough and large enough to patch in on a interior or even for some speedster seats. I thought some of you might be interested and the price ...

Mine is an updated version. Jim

Two weeks ago I took my neighbor's son and his girlfriend for a parade ride they were attendants for the prom at our local catholic school. Jim

Could be missing a cutter then it would used for cutting mica on armatures. You might want to re-cord it before use.

I've met Steve several times over the years on my trips to Hershey quite a fella. Anything to help him out if I can, I would. Best wishes for a speedy recovery and back in the saddle again. Any word on his car, is it secured in a safe area? Jim

All he is missing is a pair of goggles and a aviator helmet. Jim

Scott, I had a new old stock one very close to yours, sold it at Charlotte several years ago the guy that bought it said he thought it was Cheby. Jim
