If this is going to be an actual restoration, please do not use the '26/27 wire wheels. In all my years of looking at speedster photos taken in the Model T/A era, I have yet to see a SINGLE brass speedster with '26/27 wheels. As to the paint question, the photos reveal simplicity, one or two colors....

I'd call it a "suitcase tank".

Is this what this style of tank is ACTUALLY called?
Or is this just what you want to call it?

Frontyboy, we did not need to read what you wrote.
If you want to write such shameful, disrespectful drivel, please do so on another forum.

Edit: The distasteful post completely disappeared! Thank you!!

Mr. Smith is doing research, by simply asking this question.

Larry,
Could you post numerous detailed photos of your Rocky Mountain Brakes? Seeing these photos would greatly further my research.
This would also benefit those of us who live hundreds of miles away.
Thank you!!

Sent you an email.
Thank you.

Are our taxes somehow odious, and yours are not?

Well said!!

This isn't a "photograph of an Rock Mountain Brake 'pedal clamp'!
Edit: Thank you Larry for the correction below!

Is Musolf frontyboy?

questionable transaction?(!)

I sent an email to you.

I say this respectfully, albeit frankly. One option you missed is refraining from posting this kind of stuff on a Model T forum.

Mark,
I sent both an email and a PM.
Thank you!!
Regards,
John

I would like to purchase these.
Would you like to be paid with check or PayPal?

I don't know specifically what they are, other than being T-based speedsters.

The original poster specifically inquired about Mercury, Paco, or similar period correct speedsters.
Not T-based speedsters, as a general category.

Looks like the Original Post author went elsewhere...

Once again, Hank is talking sense.

The idea that government should help fund a museum is ridiculous, just like the idea of government funding the cost of security for government officials when they go play is ridiculous.

Thank you all for the thoughtful replies.

I am uncertain about the direction of rotation of this Matco drive, and am wondering if the rotation is clockwise or counterclockwise.
The magneto is currently being rebuilt, and the rebuilder needs to know the rotation.
Thank you!

Is this a reproduction of a genuine Ford part?

The 14mm spark plug adapters may not fit.
I believe the BB had 18mm plugs on both sides.

Why would you want to delete the post?

Thought it better to delete my post since it contained some error.

I will buy it!

I will buy this one as well, assuming it is still available.

I will buy it.
Will send an email to
Thank you!

Layden,

Sent you an email.

I will buy it.
How would you like to be paid?

I will buy the Right hand fender.
Send me a pm about your preferred payment method.
Thanks.

I will take the top irons.
How would you like to be paid?

I will buy it.
How would you like to be paid?

Finally!
A REAL 1912 speedster!
It is not a later running gear, dressed up with some snappy brass, and wanting to be called a "1912".
That being said, the Rajo B came out much later, as did the Ruckstell.
I do not know when Buffalo wheels were available, nor the Livingston radiator.

I will buy the lid.
Let me know how you would like to be paid.
Thank you!!

Do you have PROOF of ownership??
That is the ONLY question that actually matters.

Or, perhaps, people are unsubcribing.

Your transporter would have needed to invent a time machine!!

If you would like to sell your extra trunk floor, I think I would like to buy it.

Hello,
I would like to buy this hub from you.
Would you prefer payment by check or PayPal?

I will buy it.
Contact me how you would like to be paid, PayPal or check is fine.

I will buy it.
Let me know where to send the check.
Thanks

I should add this sentiment--

Please enjoy the car, drive it LOTS with smiles.
It is worthy of enjoyment.

Likely an unpopular opinion here, but here goes. What I see is a part salad. If the engine is NOT a 1913 it is not a true '13 speedster. Is the frame a '13? Is the rear end a '13? I would love to see a TRUE '13 speedster. Fakes such as these are corrupting the idea of a '13 speedster. Thus these sho...

Hopefully this recent post will be of some help.

An RV-6!! Very nice!
I have the pleasure of working at Van's, and it is nice to know that other forum members share
an interest in the RV series and Model Ts.

Looking for this item.
It would be great to find one in the Pacific Northwest, but this could be shipped.

Kim,
Sent you an email.

What is the casting date on the engine? Serial number?
Thanks.

Two burning questions that are pivotal to determining any level of authenticity that must be explored: What is the casting date of the engine? Is the frame appropriate for a 1910? If the engine casting date is later then 1910 and the frame is later, then calling this car a 1910 is a big fat lie. It ...

Spark plugs?

Full disclosure: I have the pleasure of working at Van's.

My father and I are excited about coming for the first time!

Bosch made a Two spark magneto.

Or, better yet, use a Bosch Two Spark Dual magneto.
With this, you can have two spark plugs per cylinder and have the option of
starting with either magneto or battery!

Thanks for the info!

I am also in the Portland area, and also have the same need.

Sent you a PM

Well, would you look at that, I'm number 1!

Can't say that very often.

Upon further examination it appears my instruction sheet is a reprint that is currently available from Lang's. Since I don't want to violate any copyright laws or cause harm to Lang's, I wish my post could be deleted.

Here are four pictures of my original instruction sheet. The first two pictures are of the first side. AtwaterKentTypeLA1.jpg AtwaterKentTypeLA2.jpg The third and fourth picture is of the other side. AtwaterKentTypeLA3.jpg AtwaterKentTypeLA4.jpg Hope this helps. Holler if you need better pictures.
