I have one on my A and it works the same . I took a leap and installed without flipping the ring. Been working great for the last 2 years. It’s a great little starter.

I had four Harbor Freight stands that I bought cheap at a garage sale. The numbers on them didn't match the notice, but they sure matched the pictures, so I tossed them anyway.

Mine look exactly the same also and I’m trading them to Hank for a better set

Darn
Mine are 62392
I will always be thinking of this while under them

For us new people, what the heck is a belly sling?

But if Tim makes them I probably want one!

I am building a model T now and I still have never driven one. Nor have I ridden in one yet. Sorry, opposite of your question

I find this whole thread totally invasive and inappropriate. It is none of anyone's business except for #29 and his family. How would any of us like to have a family member scrutinized like this on a public forum? Amen Around here we would welcome him with open arms and take whatever precautions to...

We fight over the same subject when dressing up and re-enacting the 1700’s. I build flintlocks and knives, everything I work on has to have patina. Build a brand new rifle and beat it with various objects to give it a worn look. Others build their stuff new with the thought that items didn’t look 20...

Looks great. Who dropped your front axle? I am looking to have one done.

Guy out west, been a year since I bought it and cannot remember but will try to look it up. They do a lot of hot rod axles.

My cheap old speedster project so far. Someone in Tennessee has been prodding me with a long stick and giving me these goofy ideas.

Spar varnish
It hardens somewhat like hard plastic. I use it on wooden boats all the time. I’m not sure if I like this application for it but I don’t know much anyway

dmdeaton

What type of varnish are u guys referring to? Gasket varnish with the Indian chief ?

dmdeaton

They look nice
I need to snag a set soon

dmdeaton

Cool stuff guys
I have a couple old micrometers but have never seen any dial indicators like those. Very cool

dmdeaton

I need that for my speedster, but wouldn't know how to start it.

dmdeaton

I sent you a email

dmdeaton

While working on my first T engine and reading and asking all my dumb questions on here I got to thinking. I haven’t ran across any information on what measuring devices they used back in the day. I have a few old micrometers, I guess they must have had them. What about dial indicators? Did they use...

IMG_2471.JPG so here is my driveshaft style header on my fordor. There was a fellow making these on the HAMB forum, but he quit the header business. I am building the race style body speedster using Dave Currier's body. I haven't decided which way to go with the exhaust yet. Good timing for this th...

dmdeaton

I have the Red's model A header hanging in my shop. I will mock it up on my speedster frame and take a couple pics. Would you guys rather start a new thread out of the classifieds? I don't like the idea of a adaptor. There are enough gaskets and such in that area without one.

dmdeaton

Would anyone have a good line art saved file of the 1912 Ford sign? While sitting around in isolation I thought I might like to try my hand at painting a sign to hang in my shop.

dmdeaton

I would be up for one if Red's started making again, I will call them. They just changed owners. I need one for my speedster/racer

I have the plate from Dan M. on here to weld a set up, but far from getting to trying it.

dmdeaton

Yes I will take the oil can

I don’t have a roadster but like to have one with a box like this. If I build the box u guys will talk my wife into the rest?

Hi John,
12v would be good for another two of my applications with distributors.

I'm glad I am not the only one

dmdeaton

That would be nice if worked on a distributor also

dmdeaton

We have great tap water here in Hamilton Ohio also. The guns and ammo hoarding has begun too. Online ammo sales are all tapped out with prices almost doubled. I don’t get it either.

Working today down in Cincinnati and went through the drive thru at frisch’s big boy. At the end of ordering she ask if we wanted any toilet paper. I think they are trying to help? She was serious. Made me laugh which helps in these times

I may pull the hub again and check the key. It did slip once and I pulled it. Felt like it seated good the last time. I am also using your hubs Dan. They are fitting up fine and nothing binding

dmdeaton

Les It’s not that bad but I don’t want to pull threads any further by taking it to the next tooth. Seems too extreme. I may try a couple different nuts and see where they fall. I haven’t used a torque wrench yet, but will. I have had model A hubs off and on several times and the T is a little differ...

dmdeaton

This is wire wheel rear hubs. Do you tighten then back off to the nearest key slots? Seems to be a crapshoot with the course slots on the nut. I don't want to overtighten as threads on the axle are not the greatest shape. Also keyslots will not be deep enough to get a cotter pin into. Close, but may...

Don’t want to hi jack the thread, but good reading. What is the lash setting on these beasts? Stock cam or modified make a difference?

dmdeaton

The paint or powder coat is thick and will do all kinds of funny things when you first tighten the lugs. Trim the paint off the countersink and all is good. Off the wheel, not the lug nuts.

Don’t forget to lightly stone or counter sink your lug nut mounting surfaces to prevent cracking and chipping out the paint on those pretty rims.

thanks Hank, I do get in a hurry at times and need reminded.

I wanted to pick up a Miller tig welder this week. Rebate on it till end of this month. I am on the fence spending the money now till this crap blows over

dmdeaton

What’s the consensus on bending the hub cap tabs? Punch and hammer? Dab of silicone to keep from rattling or will they be tight enough just bending?

All finished but got in a hurry on the last one and pinched the tube

Biggest pain is getting the valve stem started in the hole. Cannot find my cable tool to fish it through . The rest are going good now once I got my groove. Gone now cause I sat down

I think most are making light of the toilet paper hoarding, not the virus. I am very concerned and serious about the virus. We all need to hope it lessons with the warmer weather coming and this will let us get a handle on it.
