Re: Model T Special build.
I got the pedals all mounted up this weekend. I used model a pedals bent and cut then welded to get them to sit where I need them. I'm happy with how they turned out. Just enough clearance to press the clutch and brake. IMG_20200310_164709.jpg IMG_20200329_132921.jpg IMG_20200329_135606.jpg IMG_2020...

Re: How Many Drum Lights are Similar to the Ford Accessory Light
Dodge brothers used the same light just stamped db. One other brand as well I have seen but it slips my mind.

Re: Model T Special build.
I'm a little nervous but I have some experience driving silly low cars so this has much more ground clearance than I'm used to. I built a drift car and have done that for about 10 years. Here's some photos from a track day last year.

Re: Model T Special build.
Mounts are done and my clings adapter came in. I'm installing a 39 Ford transmission on this thing for the best pre-war driveline I could come up with. I will be running a turned down model a flywheel and a 9" V8 clutch/pressure plate setup. I just shortened the torque tube today and got that all mo...

Re: Wtb warford parts
I have some iron Warford parts I could sell you. Case, shift tower sans shifter, and most of the gears. I pillaged the center bearing from it and the other bearings were junk. Some pitting in the gears.

Re: Model T Special build.
Well I tossed a spare block on the pan and began mock up. I used some 1/4" plate bent and braced/welded for the flywheel housing mounts. I drilled a half inch hole through the housing ears and the new mounts, added some rubber washers to insulate it, and used a lock but so I can leave the bolt a lit...

Target aquired. Thanks Dan!
Now that that hurdle is over, I will be purchasing a balanced full length A crank and sending my block out to Mike Bender for some Babbitt and crack repair. I can't wait for final assembly!- Thu Mar 05, 2020 5:17 pm

Re: Model T Special build.
If you are running a stock length crank, you will need to make a spacer between the crank and flywheel I would think to get everything in the right place. With that added thickness, you may be able to polish that spacer surface and run you seal on that which would be easier than the flange.

Re: Model T Special build.
Chad I came to the same conclusion. Information is so tough to find on this stuff. Kind of why I want to share what I'm doing so there's something out there. One way I figured was make a seal holder and run it on the rear crank flange. Dan Mceachern also makes a 2 piece seal holder as well so you ma...

Re: Model T Special build.
Hey Scott. Once the engine is rebuilt and in the car, I will be blocking off the top tank fitting and adding one to the bottom of the top tank. I took photos of Mike Benders bob tail racer and this is the way he did it. I will share the photos in a moment.

I chopped up a couple brake cross shafts and so...
