Steve Bruce McCalley does mention in his book

"Generally all Canadian engine numbers begin with "C" but some exceptions seem to appear, with "HC" and "SC" being noted, as well as some without any letter.

But perhaps it is a replacement engine, not sure,

It does have wide pedals. I will look for "Made In Canada" on the block

Im wondering what the correct carburetor throttle rod is for my 1927 Model TT truck. Ive attached a few pics of what is there now however it doesnt seem to move properly from the steering position so i would like to get the correct one. The one thats on there has a large curve in it where it goes ar...

My recent purchase of a 1927 Model TT truck. I have a few questions about the carburetor choke and spray needle. From what I can see it has the later version Holly NH carburetor that has the drain centred on the bowl (T6202) rather than offset drain like the earlier ones, however the spray needle is...

I have a 1927 Model TT. How is the seat back attached to the cab. I have found the vendors have a mount but it is specific to the C Cab and not the Closed cab. If people can post their ideas pics of how to mount this seat back. Thanks John

My recently acquired 1927 Model TT truck has the front cowl air vent. It seems the knob/handle on the inside of the cab is missing and Im not sure what it looked like when it was new. Does anyone have ideas, pics of how i can restore this to something that is original. Thanks John Ernst

I have recently purchased a 1927 Model TT and am doing a bit of research on it. The engine serial number is SC749255. Obviously the C is Canadian but I dont know what the S is for. Also the number is much higher than known list of Canadian engine serial numbers. Does anyone have any further informat...

Thanks everyone for the contributions and feedback. Like everything with my Model T its all new to me but Im learning and enjoying it.

I suppose its simply cost prohibitive when you can find one with these windings intact and therefore only have to replace the capacitor.

I dont know too much about Model T coils but from what I understand when checking a coil and you find the primary or secondary windings are damaged that the coil is not rebuildable. I noticed that Snyders and Langs and maybe others sell the secondary and primary windings. Does this mean I can use th...

Does anyone know how to obtain a Strobospark coil tester ? I understand these were made by Fun Projects and they were bought out by Birdhaven which is now owned by Texas T parts. Are these still being made or do i have to find a used one for sale?

Thanks for that tip too John.

Ok as usual so helpful. I think thats correct to just have the plastic trim around the outside edge of the seats. Many thanks to everyone who replied.

I am wondering if someone can be of help on this I have a 1922 Canadian Touring. Before I start the upholstery do I need to add the wood trim around the top edge of the seats. It already has the plastic trim installed as per my pics but Im not sure if I need to build or buy the wood rails and attach...

Once again thanks for all the information. That helps a lot.

Does anyone have any insight into the difference between these 2 windshield clamps ? The right one came with my 1922 Touring and the left one came with the 1923 roof irons i just found. The right ones have a smaller diameter and dont fit on the windshield posts I now have.
John

johnernst

Thanks to everyone who replied. I do have another set of windshield posts that only have the 2 holes in them as Ive never seen the 3 hole ones anywhere else so I thought they may be wrong. I will double check the height of the 2 styles. Im going to get the latest set of irons and restore those and h...

johnernst

Update: I now have a set of top irons available as below. Does anyone have an opinion on these and whether I should use these ones?

johnernst

Hers a couple pics of my car. Its titled as a Canadian 1922 as its got 4 doors. Its got a slant windshield. Top iron posts only on the rear armrests and nothing on the front armrests. 20210815_152958.jpg IMG_3902 2.jpeg The roof irons I got were the oval style as per this pic but they were badly rot...

Does anyone have any experience with these aftermarket roof irons in picture 1? I have a set of these as per pic 2 below. 64-53958.jpg IMG_5279.jpeg However it seems mine did not come with all the hardware such as the support bar and the hook brackets. Does anyone have any detailed drawings showing ...

I have a problem with my top irons. I bought a new reproduction set of 1 man irons for 1922 Touring however I cant get them to fit on my car. I dont know if I have 2 man top irons or if Im missing parts. Ive attached a pic of all my irons and the wood bows as well as a pic I found 552433.jpg on the ...

johnernst

Ive read all the posts about the brass windshield channels. I have some old ones I might be able to salvage because I was shocked at the price of the reproduction ones. I thought I should be able to make these myself. Wow its a lot harder than it seems. I guess thats why they're expensive. Wondering...

Thanks for the replies. That sends me in the right direction.

Im posting pics of some parts I received when i bought my !922 Canadian Model T. I havent been able to figure out what these are for and whether they are worth keeping. Maybe you might recognize some of these. TIA
John

My dash is 24-3/8 wide. Therefore Im guessing its a 1921-22.Also Ive forgotten what year did the Canadian manufacturing change the Touring from the 5 panel rear tub to the 3 panel ?

John

johnernst

Thanks for your help Hap. I believe my T is cobbled together from a few years and many parts have been replaced with reproductions so Im trying to nail down exactly what year I should call it. The windshield I was given is a square 2 piece windshield. The bottom larger one has a handle in the middle...

I found this number carved into the wood on the drivers side floor area. Is this a frame/body serial number. ? If so can anyone determine what it means ? Thanks
John

Im looking. for some help in correctly identifying my first and recent Model T purchase. Heres what I know about it and maybe members can narrow down the year for me. It was sold to me as a 1922. 1) Engine serial number is C369216 which puts it as about November 1922 production date so technically i...

johnernst

Thanks for the help. I think I will need to find a windshield set that goes with either set of the stanchions I have. Ruxstel24 if you want to send me some pics of windshields you have and prices maybe I can buy something from you. My email is jernst@me.com

Thanks

Canadian windshield stanchions continued Ive posted several photos of my car with the reproduction stanchion that came with the car (black) and the new (shiny metal) one I just bought from Snyders. I thought because it was a 2 hole suppport it would work for my existing windshield but I was wrong. I...

Thanks so much.

What are these black upright brackets called ? My 23 touring is missing both. Are they available ?
Thanks John

johnernst

I know there have been several posts on this before but I am new to the T world and my 1922 or 23 Canadian Touring came with a bunch of parts that I cant seem to make fit. Here are the windshield stanchions it came with (obviously reproductions) and the 2 windshied frames. As you can see the stanchi...
