Thanks for sharing Herb. I watched it tonight. Just not sure I understand their comment about Winton Value - if I could get one for $30,000 I’d be very pleased. In fact I think this is the very car they valued at $30,000 in today’s market? Maybe they just dropped the zero 😀 https://cars.bonhams.com/...

My understanding is that it is generally accepted that early Canadian C Fords were side entrance, but with step plates, not running boards. Refer attached. Just my 2 cents worth.

KiwiFordGuy

Still on the lookout for a 2 Cylinder Ford project if you know of anything? Unrestored or an old, tired restoration etc.

Please send me a private message if you can help, or with any leads.

Thanks

A question I guess the club need to ask themselves, is if this forum is for the hobby or for the club? If it’s not for the hobby, sure lock it up. But with Facebook etc. you’ll probably see this forum slowly wither and die. I’ve been on and off this forum for several decades. People and knowledge co...

I remember as a young, approximately 23 year old in New Zealand, stumbling across this forum looking for knowledge when our family were restoring my great, great grandfathers T. When this hobby needs young members more than ever, why would you exclude the curious public? What’s to be gained? What’s ...

Looking for the proverbial needle in a haystack - an early right hand drive square door aluminium transmission cover.

Can anyone help?

Please email via forum email tab or send me a private message.

Thanks Frank, message sent

KiwiFordGuy

Hi all, seems 2 cylinder Fords within my budget continue to elude me… I’m sure many of us early Ford fans have this same problem! :D I’m wondering what still might be around in the way of early T projects. Looking for as complete, original etc as possible. Definitely want open valve (genuine origina...

Thanks Susanne,

I think the ghost of HF must be very busy!

One last time for a while - BTT

KiwiFordGuy

Sent you an email. Not sure if you got it as no reply?

KiwiFordGuy

Back to the top - pretty hard to stay on page 1 for more than a few days! Thanks

KiwiFordGuy

Hi,

As it’s been a while I hope you’ll forgive me for the BTT. Maybe someone knows of something?

If so please private message/email me.

Thank you

KiwiFordGuy

They were 1914 Models from memory and if I recall right the build quality of some components was/materials used, were poor. Specifically the engine blocks.

KiwiFordGuy

Thanks Rick - appreciate the reply

KiwiFordGuy

Hi folks, I recently purchased a bracket and speedo cable for a non Model T project I am working on. This head was part of the package. Can anyone confirm the Model / Year and if this suits a T Ford or some other marque? There is what I believe to be a model number or such that says M-5 Is excess is...

I’m looking for a set of quick bolts, keepers and nuts to complete my KR Wilson Combination Set up.

KiwiFordGuy

Just thought I’d pop this back to the top encase anyone knows of anything available?

Please email me/send me a private message if you might be able to assist.

Thanks again

KiwiFordGuy

Love it! I need me one now I’ve seen it lol.

KiwiFordGuy

Yup - generally museums can, and do as they please…. Hence why I’ll be leaving nothing to a museum when I pass. I know as a family member of a city museum donor I can’t even get to view the family heirlooms they donated.

KiwiFordGuy

Great photos - looks like an excellent outing. Thanks for sharing

KiwiFordGuy

C 1906/07 Maxwell Model R, HB or similar?

KiwiFordGuy

Thanks to all those sharing pics! Great to see thank you

KiwiFordGuy

Just a suggestion, as I know you have been looking for quite some time, and a good selection of cars has come and gone - maybe you need to be a bit more specific so people know what you are really looking for? What’s not working with the other cars that have been offered etc? I’m on the same sort of...

KiwiFordGuy

It’s always a bit suspect if the spelling and grammar/syntax is below average. We all make typos but you can pick a pattern/style..... Also suspect when profile names with these potential concerns adopt sporting or other notable person’s names..... As TXGOAT2 says a cursory search can reveal all you...

KiwiFordGuy

I debated with myself about buying a 1917 Coupelet a few years ago. I now wish I had, haven’t seen another one since that time. Sometimes it’s the quick or the dead!

KiwiFordGuy

Just keeping the thread alive

thanks

KiwiFordGuy

I’m keen to hear how it goes Adrian. Please give us an update if you go ahead with getting something cleaned up. Seems to me there are a lot of potential upsides - not sure what the cons are? Plenty of pros come to mind.

KiwiFordGuy

Thanks for message Steve. Great looking car but unfortunately not looking for a high wheeler! Have sent you a pvt message also

KiwiFordGuy

Fantastic Harry! Love it. Too often I know of, and hear of cases where the husband becomes unable to drive due to ill health and the Model T (and other cars) sit idle because the husband never took time or encouraged his wife/partner to learn to drive or do even the simple maintenance on the car. My...

KiwiFordGuy

Our family 1923 which has been in the family from new (Canadian built, Timaru assembled) used Robertson screws. However I’m not sure of the years that did use the square heads.

KiwiFordGuy

Thanks for the thought though Joe. Appreciate it.

A helpful tool for the job - https://www.modeltford.com/item/B-BAR-1.aspx

Various sizes available depending on the particular size/location of rivets to be done

KiwiFordGuy

Thank you John, appreciate your time and input.

I think it may be the English Ford Times as it seems there maybe a United States, Canadian and English version?

I just need the article and photo (scanned/emailed etc,) if anyone does have this copy?

Thanks again

KiwiFordGuy

Further to this - is there an online source for these Ford Times? Thanks

KiwiFordGuy

Hi all, Does anyone have a copy of the aforementioned Model T Times? I am not sure if it is the US or Canadian issue... was there an issue for Great Britain too? I am looking for a photo that I recently saw mention of (and an article if an article was included) that I believe shows the December 1927...

KiwiFordGuy

Just trying to keep this front of mind - BTT. Thanks for the patience. Please message me if you can assist.

KiwiFordGuy

Hi Jim, Unfortunately I don’t have any of my resources available at the moment but you might find it useful to try searching a few period New Zealand newspapers which can be done here. https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/ My 1925 Timaru assembled, Canadian built T touring was originally black fenders,...

Finding an early Ford ie pre NRS is really the ultimate quest and I’m happy to get what I can

KiwiFordGuy

Don’t disagree at all Mario. That’s why I say a going T. However as I have a lot of time on my side still and I do enjoy a project, the process, part finding etc etc and the now significant outlay for a restored A, AC, C & F and the fact they becoming hard to obtain I really am happy to go the proje...
