Re: crankshaft dimensions for regrind
You also need to make sure you maintain an adequate radius. If the place you take the crankshaft to mostly does modern cranks they may not be aware of this.

Re: Question About Replacement Starter Switches
I bought this switch at a Tractor Supply shop last time I was in Kansas. I'm planning to fit it to my car on the weekend. It's made in India. The quality looks ok.
The part number is C61098.

Perhaps you could get a clearer copy of that photo if you contacted these guys?

They probably have a few other interesting photos with Model Ts.

Re: Model T the flex-fuel universal car
Harry, that’s interesting. I’d heard of cracking but didn’t realise there was also reforming to go in the opposite direction.
One of the guys in the local club has re-jetted his carburetors for modern fuel. I tried one of them on my car and it seemed to run better.
