Thanks Tim, Dan : I talked to Glen and he has the gears and the hubs. I'll try to get a picture of my gear and post it. I am getting things cleaned up so I can have measurements, etc. and a list ready for Glen next time I talk to him.

Jim

Thanks Dan, will do as I may need to have a shaft as it appears the gear and shaft are integral, I haven't had a chance to call Glen yet, been mowing all day and most likely tomorrow. To all who responded, many thanks for the help, this car is getting close, but these early ones are a challenge and ...

Thanks Paul, I'll give him a call and see if he has any

Jim

Thanks guys, will do on seeing about having replacement made and just setting the original aside for future reference if needed.

thanks again Jim

I am just now getting to the water pump on my 08 model SR. The water pumps were built into the radiator similar to the first 2500 T's, but ran off a gear mounted on the flywheel which is on the front of the engine. Mesh was adjusted through rubber pads/shims on the radiator mounting. I found that th...

I've posted this on the early ford site without luck, so thought I'd try here also. I need a few parts to complete my 08 SR.
Hood former, gas cap, radiator cap, timer cover and front spring shackles. I will be stopping by Tulare so could pickup there.

thanks Jim

Thanks for the pic's Steve. If i's still happening next year, for sure I am planning on being there. Was there much pre T ie NRS stuff there? Does look like some good projects and one can't have too many of those.

thanks again for the report.

Ed is that one of Bob's cars? I may be down in May.

Jim

Yes there are some records, although not complete. Pate's early ford Automobile Encyclopedia has most of them listed. Trent Boggess has done a lot of research on the early car production and posts regarding his findings can be found on earlyfordregistry.com. Still gaps in engine numbers and just lik...

here are some scans of instruction and ads

I recently got a set of Ustus Limousette side curtains. These have vertical pieces with a track that mount to the top bows on open cars and have a cross piece with the curtain that rolls up like a spring loaded window shade. The very fragile instructions that came with the set were for a touring, ho...

Ed, I'll take em. Shoot me an email with the shipping to 98250 and I'll send you a check.

Jim

I need at least one, but willing to buy two front spring shackle for a 08 model SR.

have tried the early ford site, no luck, so thought maybe someone here has one.

thanks. Jim

ED: you are really tempting me to undertake another Bob assembly project. quit raining yesterday and I gave Bob's coupe a long run. Looks like the body and paint on this are just as nice as the coupe's. If somebody will relieve me of my xke or model a I would jump at this. Also if these photos are a...

Would look great in my barn next to the 15 touring and 22 coupe. Doesn't anybody want an XKE or 30 A so I can add this to my stash.
all I can say is looks like a nice car and very reasonable price.

Jim

Richard I am interested in the radiator. thanks

For me, I have lap belts installed in my model A coupe and my MGTD that are tied to the frame, for safety, law and insurance requirements. The model A could maybe stand up under a roll over, the MG would be questionable. For the T's no belts, but I don't drive them at above 35 either. I realize it i...

Having painted a few of various years, I would strongly suggest using a self etching primer on any bare metal. Then put on the primer of your choice. The bottom layer of self etching ensures a good bond with the old metal you will be covering, and often some of the stripped metal sets a while as you...

More info. Has sealed leak-less water pump, touring cam, rewired with full fuse block under seat, hot water heater in trunk area (I still need to pipe the hot air into the cab and or defrost). I was building this as a daily driver, with modifications once I discovered the fiberglass rear fenders. Ju...

Need a new radiator for my 08 Model S, and out of room so selling my 1930 Model A coupe. Car is complete and running with clear Washington title and current registration in my name. Needs paint and upholstery, has new top fabric and decent original seat. 1929 engine, Mallory auto advance distributor...

Nice Car Henry. You Might try listing it on the Early ford Site also WWW.earlyfordregistry.com

Kind of looks like a 20's Star. The touring models had a pretty short, flat top look from a side view.

I use a Model T ranch equalizer set up with rods for the original AC's on my 22 coupe. The rods have a set of anti rattle support brackets on them. I needed the rods to eliminate any side to side movement in the brakes as they were a tight fit with hassle rear shocks. Seem to work well, I did add so...

hi Bruce;

I'll take it, will send you an email also

Thanks Jim

Just got my copy of Sept-Oct issue of Vintage Ford in the mail. Read the info on the director candidates and thought to myself, how do you choose from such a great group of people. Don't see anybody that I would not want to see as a director and think any of them would be an asset. I don't know any ...

Thanks for the links guys, this looks like It will do the deed on the bleeder bushings for the McCord oiler on my 08 SR

George I'll take it, sent you an email

Jim

Added turn signals, after a few shake down runs on he 22 coupe. Well couldn't seem to add the image so some are on my gallery.

I tried this on my 22 coupe with original AC's and hassle shocks, found it easier to use rods and guides, the routing of cables was somewhat difficult, you could just bend the rods. Also the rods allowed me to put a little pressure away from the wheel on the brake shoes, giving me some much needed s...

Did a 22 Center Door 15 years ago, with much re-wooding required. Sold It to Ron Kipling(RIP), wish I had it back as it was a very sweet running and very original car. The driving position in the Center Doors was a bit uncomfortable for me, but they do have a look that is so classic. If you weren't ...

One piece of advise on closed car restoration. Do not do too much body work without the body mounted to the frame. These wood framed bodies have some variance to them and if you don't have them on the squared up chassis when you fit and finish the doors, windshield, wood firewall, etc. you could end...

Thanks Hap: I did put a post on the EFR forum. I looked for the parts at Bakersfield, but no luck. I do have one original part #1248, and two of the part #1244. Also have some very beat up part #184's and some rough casting, but would like to find some good originals. If I can't find the parts will ...

Need some parts for the oiler on my 08 SR. Need 2 of the bleeder bushings part #1248 and one oiler pipe nipple part #1244. Modern pipe bushings are close to part #1248, but threads are cut with too much taper. the oiler pipe nipples have a check valve. I could also use two decent front spring hanger...

John, I have a Lion dual plug that I ran briefly with one plug per cylinder. I could deliver to Bakersfield in April.

Jim

Sent you a pm

Hi Ben:

could you email me some pictures with prices for the horns you have. By the way the speedometer looks great installed in my 22 coupe.

thanks
