Re: 26 Roadster Speedometer Cable Support

A bracket or some sort of support midway seems reasonable. That's what I had in mind. A strap of some sort may have been the original way.

26 Roadster Speedometer Cable Support

How is the speedometer cable on a 26 Roadster supported? Laying on the tie rod doesn't seem appropriate. Photos of your installation would be appreciated.

Re: Where did you discover your Model T?

1926 Roadster pickup - Rusk, TX - 1955 - $35. Dad took me to get it. The owner wasn’t there. His wife told us he wasn’t sure he was going to sell. She wanted it out of her yard and told us to load it up. He later mailed the paperwork.

Re: Windshield Rubber Cushion

Thanks. That's the info I needed. Looking at the windshield, the areas where the rubber would start to slide in have been filled with paint. I'll clean that out and see how it goes.

Thanks - Jim

Re: Windshield Rubber Cushion

Not sure I was clear with my question. This is a 26 Roadster, so the bottom half of the windshield will tilt up and give easy access to the rubber. I just don’t remember whether I pushed it in after the glass man installed the glass.

Windshield Rubber Cushion

It’s been to many years since I installed the rubber cushion on the lower half of my 26 Roadster windshield. Can you install it with the glass in place?
