I have a 2019 Chevy pickup with the towing package, the brake controller is built in and is in the center dash under the screen at the lower left side, you adjust the gain by pushing on the + or- on the switch or you can push in on the slide part of the switch and it will go to 100% and if the brake...

The tank i purchased was from Speedway Motors in Lincoln, Ne, it was ordered through,
Micheal Harrison in Madison, Wi., part number 141-3898 1025 gal ss tank 10x 33.

Rick

I purchased a polished Stainless Steel Tank for a truck we are building it is a T tank the same as in my 24 fordor, i don't remember the company name i did a search for ss tanks and several came up, it was $315.00, it even has the proper mounting straps.

Rick

I have disc brakes on all three of my Ts, they all have demountable rims, but if you don't have them or even if you do use the flexible lines this allows the caliper to be removed and moved out of the way without disconnecting everything. Bleeding is a chance to use all those words you have been sav...

my 24 Fordor had the same problem and we found that the frame was bent down at the motor mounts, check the squareness of the frame and it may fix your problem, it could also affect the door fit.

Rick

After three years i finally got my 24 Fordor back together and it started on the first push on the starter button, on mag i had to adjust my new U&J carb from Stan Howe, it killed every bug in a square mile from the smoke. I took it to storage and put the popcorn truck in the garage for finishing, m...

The glass book shows two different windows for the Tudor, one fits the coupe 24-27and is 19" at the front and 197/8 at the rear, the glass shown for the Tudor is203/4 at the front and 21/12 at the rear, the coupe/tudor glass is part #G47c and the Tudor glass is G122.

Rick

The doors on my March 24 Fordor are aluminum on wood frames.

Rick

It's a right front door for a probably 26/27 fordor, i don't know when the all steel doors were first used, the back doors all have the angled rear bottom.

Rick

That should not be a hard job, if you can solder or braze it will be easy, make sure that the everything is clean and use 15% silver solder or a good brazing rod you may need a Mapp gas torch or oxy/actey - Propane won't get hot enough. That's my take.

Rick

If you have a new Warford transmission you have to turn the turn the tube over, i installed grease fittings and grease it several times a year.

Rick

I installed one in my top tank and after several months it had turned into a gray goo and had plugged some tubes and there were parts floating in the coolant, i removed the radiator and flushed everything out. I have not had a problem with corrosion. Remember it attaches to any bare metal, brass, co...

After 31/2 years a friend came over and helped me, he connected the front wishbone and helped me install the radiator, i installed the the U&J carb and connected the gas line, i just need to tie up some wires and put water and oil in it make sure the battery is charged and take it for a spin to see ...

They were optional on 26/27 models, the frame is drilled from the factory, they were nickel plated, i installed the ones from the vendors they are stainless.

Rick

Jonah, swap meet is a misnomer as hardly any one will swap, they are trying to sell stuff, you can always ask if they will swap.

Rick

the Smoky Ts cover all of east Tn and we have several members in your area for information call George Akin .

i recognize some of those bandits.

Rick

I have pulled my 26 coupe all over on a open trailer, i pull it backwards, the engine ends up between the axles, i wrap it with stretch wrap to prevent rock chips and other damage plus it keeps the visor from getting damaged, and the air moves over it better, i do the same with my 24 Fordor, i have ...

I have them in my 26 coupe, been in there for16 years no problems last time i looked they were fine, that being said when i tore down my 24 Fordor they were worn flat and were locked up and wouldn't turn it was almost like they had been in a press.

Rick

My march 1924 Fordor has aluminum doors as well as the upper rear panel.

Rick

I grew up in Evansville and at one time there were several body mfg there, besides the Hercules bodies there was Graham Bros trucks and Briggs had a large plant there in later years they produced Plymouth bodies.

Rick

Try Antique Auto Ranch in Spokane, they have the copper gasket with the black core.

Rick

Mike Rogers at Dreamworks in Leicester does good work, near Canton, number is828 775 1257

I have Cisco Webx that i use for other webinar sessions, will it work with this site ?

Thanks Rick

I use a wooden dowell and place it on the end of the cam and give it a few good whacks and they usually come right out.

Rick

Thanks for the response, i have a new wheel ordered.

Rick

Can someone tell me the contact information for the person who makes the great looking wood steering wheels ? i have checked the classified ads and the Vintage Ford magazine.

Thanks for your help

Rick Goelz

You can purchase 2" soft copper in 50Ft rolls in type L and type K so bending or rolling is much easier, type L will have blue printing and Type K will be Green. K is very heavy.

Rick

It looks like you may need to remove the hogshead and get the correct mag ring which will require removing the engine.

Rick

Put a short hook on a piece of coat hanger then pull the reflector out ,pulling in several places around it and it will come out, then remove the small cotter pin and turn the adjusting screw until it won't turn anymore and pull the socket out, it may take some pliers.

Wear gloves as those things can bite.

Rick

You need one square inch of free area of outside air for each 1000 btuh of input, you should also have a vented system if possible, I use a 18000 btuh infrared vent free radiant heater with a fan it keeps my oversize two car garage as warm as I need it, it is mounted 6.5 ft above the floor, it has a...

Tip-Top Timers in Spokane are the producers of the Anderson style timer, you could send it to them for repair.

Rick

The key phrase is "old" I am almost 80 and I know of several others in this age group, ailments and other things keep us off the forum, I didn't post for almost two years because of knee problems. I removed the engine from my 24 to repair a loose rod and changed the cam. a friend came over and helpe...

Use type "L" copper it is a heavier wall it is also called refrigeration copper and use a flare fitting instead of a compression ferrule it wont crack. Think about your air conditioner or refrigerator running for years with high pressure up to 600 psi and add the compressor vibration and pulsing and...

I used a piece of 1/2" plywood on the back of the seat on my 26 coupe, I painted it and attached it to the package shelf with a couple of angle brackets, the battery is in a battery box mounted to the floor, I have a wood floor instead of the sheet metal.

Rick

Gary, I have the timing tool that is made by TW Timers and you are welcome to use it, I am in Farragut just off the Pellissippi Pkw. it is a great tool to set the timing.I have the bending tools also, the Ford timer settings are different so you may be off.

Rick

Good to see you posting again Sue.

Rick goelz

That is the same one I have on my 24 Fordor, I had to remove it and weld it as one of the horizontal pieces was broken, I did it with the body off which makes it easier, there should be holes on the top of the frame for to mount it, 1/4" if I remember right.

Good luck

Rick

This is a great tour with a lot to see, be ready for some very rough roads they will loosen every bolt and screw on your car and dust, there is a car wash in town across from the DQ.

Rick

Use large fender washers they will keep the brackets tight, I have closed cars and use them every time I get in the car, I would be leary of seat belts in a touring or roadster, if it makes you feel better install them, I don't think with six body to frame bolts the body will come off if yo get hit ...

Gary, The Charlie Brown Co. in Knoxville can make you vinyl transfers, the number is 522-8060 talk to Janice.

Rick Goelz

The gasket for the cap is called a Mack Basin washer.

Rick

Great video

you all were lucky, George usually finds really dusty roads,you can't see the cars in front or behind, but it looks like a great tour.

Rick

Your Garmin GPS will work fine on six volts, just use the lighter plug that came with the unit and it will work fine, I transfer mine from my car or truck to the T with no problem, they run on 2.5 volts and the plug takes care of dropping the voltage.

Rick

How did they tow the cars back in the day ?, there are still some wreckers around.

Rick

Bill, 50/50 is correct.

Rick

Lang's has these new in their catalog.

I use a torque wrench extension which is similar to a crow foot wrench to get the two bolts under the firewall, I purchased it from McMaster-Carr.

This is interesting information, I have four U&J Carbs that were built by Stan, because of a knee issue, knee replacement and three additional surgeries I have been down for all of 18 and most of this year, I did get the engine back together, I removed a new Stipe .250 cam and installed a .280, I wa...

No snow here in the southland yet but we have rain, 5.5 " last Saturday, 13.5 for the month. TVA is spilling 3.5 Trillion gallons a second from the dams , this is water held to reduce flooding on the Ohio and Mississippi, they are forecasting another 1-2" this weekend.

I had two T's in the garage and we had a hail storm, very large hail, it destroyed the wife's car, so she got a new car and I rented a storage space and the t's were stored there.
