They're not that bad if you know what you are doing!
Most kids working in tire shops don't know what they are doing, most have never seen a clincher tire let alone have ever worked on one, find some help in the mtfca.

Well if it worked after recharging the magnets, then I'd say it wasn't done wrong some magnets are just weak and don't take a full charge, you may just have to recharge them from time to time.

In 17' the switch was on the coil box.

I am interested, can you ship it ?

BarrettR

What year did they first start stamping engine numbers on the frame? Which side of the frame is correct?

BarrettR

I need 2 front,2 rear plus the flanges.

BarrettR

Yeah the new day seems to be the reproduced brush timer, I guess my question should have been when did they first come out with a brush timer regardless of brand. Thanks, for the reply.

BarrettR

Has anyone adapted the 26/27 sheet metal lugs to fit the earlier brake drum?

BarrettR

Is anyone out there running the "jack rabbit" clutch discs ?
And if so how well does it work?
Thanks in advance.

BarrettR

Thank you for this very informative information.

The trick to brazing cast iron is to heat it up cherry red with a torch braze your pieces together then keep the torch on and let it cool.with heat very slowly, do not let the cold ambient air hit the hot cast iron.
I have had great success doing it this way.

17- 25 front fender brackets.

BarrettR

Does anyone know when the new day brush timer first came out originally?

BarrettR

Does anyone out there in model T land k ow approximately what year ford changed to the solid gears from the riveted tripple gears???

BarrettR

What is the difference between a early clutch disc drum and a later 1919 -1927 clutch disc drum????
The vendors list both.

BarrettR

Mark do you have any Scandinavian band linings available?

BarrettR

At what point did ford change from the brass oilers to the flip top oilers? 17 mid 17?

Wtb low radiator shell in good condition.

Wtb low radiator shell in good condition.

So how much do the spindles lower the chassis? Looks to me like about an inch?

BarrettR

Replacing pedal shafts, the wort part is getting the pins out, the clutch pedal was loose on the shaft the pin came out easily the brake and reverse pedals is another story I had to use heat WD-40 and drill into the pins from both sides only then would the pins drive out with a punch. BTW I ended up...

BarrettR

Do you still have the spool?

BarrettR

Anybody out there running a jack rabbit clutch?
If so does it give a good neutral for hand cranking?

BarrettR

I knew a lot of guys that ran high domed pistons me included, I ran domed pistons with a roof overhead it pumped 125 pounds of compression and would go 60mph+ I'm no longer interested in scaring myself with speed lol, I just want a good flathead with good performance at this time. Just wanted to kno...

BarrettR

Does anybody out there run a low head with high compression pistons? And is there a noticeable difference between a low head and a high head?????

BarrettR

I know the early T engines were left bare cast iron, but were the oil pans and hogs heads also left bare steel or were they painted?

BarrettR

Looking for a low radiator shell anyone would be willing to part with?

BarrettR

Has anyone purchased reproduction T wires wheels if so how's the quality any good?????

BarrettR

Hey guys, does anybody pour babbit in old cam bearing shells? I know new ones are available from langs but I heard they don't fit well without repairing.

BarrettR

Had some issues with the babbit not flowing all the way to the top of the mold especially the right front corner ect. Would you suggest putting shims under the mold plate? Or inlarging the vent holes?

BarrettR

Does anyone still make a 4 valve rajo reproduction head?

BarrettR

Thank you that's very helpful

BarrettR

I had high compression pistons with my roof 8 valve head and a re ground cam, it pumped 125 psi and it had the throttle snap of a modern sprint car. I don't want to get that drastic these days, its funny I never broke a crank or threw a rod.

BarrettR

Yes correct, having been a mechanic for years I am aware of all "it depends on" I was just looking for a ball park figure thanks to all.

BarrettR

Anybody know what the compression should be with high compression pistons and a high head?

BarrettR

Where is the Prus head available?

BarrettR

Can high compression pistons be used with a low head or will the pistons hit the head?

BarrettR

The best thing I know of is to pack some sanding dust into the cracks and holes then apply some super glue over the top, it will wick down into the sanding dust (you can use a clamp to tighten up the joint)
This repair will be stronger than the wood itself.

BarrettR

I've ran mine all day on battery with no generator.

BarrettR

Know where I can find one like that?
I like using era equipment as long as it does the job.

BarrettR

I have been informed by "Langs" the strobo spark coil tester is no longer available.
Just FYI
