That is a transmission band lining set for the improved 26-27 Model. T.... Hopefully you don't have that confused with the parking brake

Our family's condolences to Darel and his family.

If your 12 volt converted starter is a new acquisition, maybe it's going to be on its return trip for fixing ?

Are the four starter mounting screws tight ?

Set B. is gone to a new owner being enjoyed. Last available is Set. A. ..... I'm still answering your pm 's... Last set available this year ! .... Thanks again for your interests.

I got dibs on the brass gas cap '26-'27 style.

Darren... Keep up the good work !

The replacement set I made to replace previously sold set D was sold today at the garage meet.... Selected because set was not packaged for mailing ,...... Sets A and B are still available,.,..

Hey Dave, thanks for The reminder,... Shop day is tomorrow morning , starts at 8:30 am at your place. Anyone that's interested should contact you for directions.

Imagine this on a smaller scale to refinish NH gas inlet valve.. .. https://youtube.com/shorts/juujt-yTt90? ... jd_Vj6fsd6.

Good morning... You guys gave me a reminder on this topic... I have a hydraulic rubber hose connecting the two points which I think needs replacement after 10 years... Last oil change the oil did turn a little dark TimeWise, and maybe from the insides of the black rubber hose tinting the oil. Thanks...

Coil set C has been purchased , leaving sets A and B available...... Completed a set to replace the same as set. D, ... So now there are three sets available.

This first timer definitely needed to do some reading and research before attacking what he did....and No attempt to true up the band to the drum before installing lining.

In your picture, what is the stage/screen intending to spell ???

Good morning, and back to the top.

Jeff... Thank you very much for your timeless work and dedication to the Model T Ford club of America..... Your honesty is well recorded and appreciated by me and others. Continue with your present club commitments and work endeavors.

It will cost him a hell of a lot less simply to replace battery cables with the proper gauge, clean and shine all electrical connections, use a quality 6 volt battery, and even more important to have the generator working as designed with the current, no pun intended, voltage regulator offe...

Your phone is adjustable, just go to settings and put in your preference.

Just because an alternator's output, maximum output is listed, it's thanks to the internal regulator that controls the charging to the battery. In the years I was driving with that alternator on a 6-volt system, never once did I see the amp meter exceed 10 amps of charge , engine running after start...

We also had the Larry Becker 6 volt alternator with a self-contained regulator on our 26 Runabout for 15 years, with no problems... Seem to be the only fix since going through a few Fun Projects regulators on the generator . Now running a fine generator and regulator detailed and rebuilt ...... By J...

Batteries always last longer when not in use being charged by a certified trickle charger, no matter what brand of battery, the trickle charger is a great help making the battery last longer.

A great milestone... Glen, ..Happy birthday!! Enjoy .

CHAFFIN'S has always , I repeat. Always , been more than fair to the average Model T guy..... I'm sure his mode of business will not change.

The present manufacturer of the KW coil style ignition points has ceased production due to reasons not fully explained. If you do need rebuilt coils that fire each cylinder on equal time, please consider purchasing a set. Three sets are available.Working on a fourth set.

To the top again... Many thanks. !!! MTFCA ! ... Could be last chance to buy quality rebuilt coils for Christmas or New Year's presents.

No matter what adhesive you use, just keep the Gap of the two ends directly on the bottom so that if there is any moisture trapped, gravity will be there to help and drain.

Looking for wire wheel, lug nuts?... Well chaffins has run a supply of very NOS. Looking shaped plated lug nuts, you can see the extra quality put into this when you compare it against what's on the market

Bump to top.....

: New Chaffins wire wheel lug nuts

My new new Chaffins wire wheel lug nuts are of a better quality and finish than the ones I had previously. They are exact duplicate of NOS, and American made.

Rob... Who did those floorboards?.... I could use a new set, please advise or PM me. Thanks!

DHort .... TIMING IS MEASURED IN DEGREES, NOT PERCENTAGE

Ron, thanks very much for offering & helping " Wingnut " on obtaining a original issue Ford wire wheel lug wrench... Per chance, if you are at a loss, I'm sure there are others that could be of assistance to "Wingnut " seeking a original wrench.

Clean fresh connections means a lot, ... positive and negative cables

I thought we were discussing original FORD tools, not ones that we could make ourselves.

T-2839. Ford wrench. Sorry not for sale, just acquired but picture should help on your search .. handle measures 10 in. Long, shaft measures 8 in.

Move to top... Three sets still available.. check out the pictures posted above.

Wood Wheels?... Tighten the 6 nuts at the wheel hub, check for wear in the complete steering linkage system ... And wheel bearing condition and adjustment.

Are you using the proper size 6 volt battery cables?.... Just by looking, they are a thicker diameter than conventional 12-volt battery cables.

The picture of the red Optima 6 volt battery shows the positive cable connection to the positive terminal of the battery... What is the problem with having a insulated 1/0 or 2/0 size negative cable?.... It's the size of the cable that counts!

Payment received on set D, and mailed yesterday, Saturday .... Thank you very much ..... Enjoy a better ride ! ...... Sets A, B, and C still available.

Move to top. Thanks

Bringing to the top.... Sets A, B, and C are still available...

When he gets a better compression tester, he'll find out if the rings or valves are the culprits in a lower compression

Those Edison 250 Chippendales are very heavy machines on skimpy rollers..... better he used some heavy rope to tie that to the runabout seat. We have one in the living room and also Edison factory test stand unit with the same mechanism and 250 horn.

Shaft on this generator, may be may be slightly worn down. The new run of gears do slide on okay but will slow slight play on the shaft.... Question... Do you think heating the gear and then quenching would reduce the inner diameter of that gear?

Set. D SOLD. ..... PENDING PAYMENT. SETS A, B, AND C STILL AVAILABLE.

There was both an original gear and a new reproduction gear. .. The original gear visibly is thinner than the reproduction with a little mounted wobble. The reproduction gear hopefully is a good copy of a NOS gear, was noticeable thicker teeth, with a less slight wobble. Have reproduction gears been...

James... The starter is already in and no problems, I was referring to the generator

When fitting a gear on the generator, with the key in place and retaining pin in place before peening , , how much clearance is acceptable to eliminate gear wobble ?

Larry... The first run in early ones were embossed as tractor units, had a few myself in past years...... The capacitor was physically wider than in other other Ford made coils , and the potting tar was of a higher melting composition.

Hi Norman... Model A's use group 2 , 6 volt batteries.

Ron... So it will cost a Model. T man to surrender and ship a minimum of 16 coils to get four rebuilt coils for free with shipping?.....

Steve, you're correct. ... Those Chinese made Amazon lug nuts look nothing like NOS wire wheel lug nuts.

And I'm not going to matters. But some 20 years ago a friend of mine bought a 25 Coupe and asked me why with the engine running the amp meter always showed dis-charge.. took one look and asked him. Did you have some difficulty putting the terminals on the battery? He said yes... I said, ... well dis...
