I bought a Holley G a few years ago from Corey Walker and it works great on my 1915 T. I highly recommend him if you need a repair or a refurb.

I am a member of the OKC Heartland Ts Club. We are excited to sponsor this event and look forward to seeing everyone that can make it!

How many do you need? I have a bunch of brand new extras of the steel type. let me know if i can send you some. You can send me a PM with your contact info.

Don't give up too soon. I heard from a reputable source the Irsland's son Ryan is looking into options to continue the swap meet. So just a bit of a rant. Swap meets die when people don't support them. When people don't come, the vendors eventually don't come, and it all goes to a death spiral until...

I plan to be there peddling a few sets of rebuilt coils. I also have a complete 1917 engine and transmission for rebuild. No damage, just normal wear. I am not going to haul the engine down there unless someone wants to buy it. I'll have pictures.

Yes, that diagram is very helpful, thank you. I am still working to understand how the connecton is made to the windshield to hold the side curtain. I have seen some put a fastener on the side of the windshield, some on the front so the side curtain wraps around. I've really got one shot at getting ...

Only right before your axle breaks Larry! after that, well..................

Sent you a PM Dan for info.

There appears to be a few options on the floating safety rear hubs. Different bearing types, roller, needle, and ball bearings. Different suppliers have slightly different approaches. I am considering them for my 1915 Model T. What advice can you give me or experience you can share on the various op...

Thank you for the explanations and great pictures!

I decided to add side curtains to my 1915 Model T Runabout. After contacting Mike at Classtique and getting the process started by obtaining his patterns, I realized that there are no fasteners for the side curtains on the car side. Whoever replaced the top did a custom top without adding the side c...

It was another great Model T Clinic event! Good job to everyone who put in on! It was great to see a lot of Model T'ers from across the country.

Thanks all! Great information. Helps me understand mine has the correct wheels.

My 1915 Canadian Model T has 30x3.5in front tires, correct for a Canadian 1915. Question is, are the rims the same as the T's with 30x3in front tires?
Thanks in advance,
David

Thanks Jeff. I've got them on order!
-David

Jeff,
Any idea what the cost will be for the 12V regualtors? My family has 2 Model T's that are 12V and could use two.
Thanks,
David

I look forward to seeing your presentation at the Model T Clinic Jan 2024.

I'll jump in and "third" the recommendation for Corey Walker. I bought a Holley G from him for my 1915 Runabout and it runs great.

Yes, sent you an email Todd.

Anyone have Daniel Bennett's contact information? My family wants to put AC or Rocky Mountain brakes on a 1913 touring.
Thanks,
David

Hi John, My dad took the 1913 engine out (still have it) 40 years ago and instead of having it rebuilt he bought a rebuilt later model engine with a starter and generator from the late Herman Campbell that Herman had rebuilt. That engine has no serial number on it. The original engine serial number ...

Thanks all, i appreciate the help and information!

-David

Looking to put RM brakes on our family's 1913 T. My dad put a later model engine in it for a starter and generator. the block has no serial number. any idea by looking at the pedals what year the engine/transmission is? i want to order the correct RM pedal. Thanks in advance. David 1000000544.jpg

I hope that Saturn driver was ticketed and insured. It would sure help with Steve's medical and car expenses if they paid for what they caused.

Sale pending to Scott. I have a second set, same type rebuild, $180 plus $17.10 USPS Flat Rate Shipping to USA. PM if interested.

I look forward to hearing about your travels, too! Best of luck to you and your 15T in this adventure!. Maybe someday I'll have the guts to join you in my 15 Runabout with a pickup bed.

One is being provided - thanks Brent!

I have an extra set of 4 Ford coils that I would like to sell. I rebuilt them for a guy who decided to go with a distributor. New 0.47uF high dV/dt caps repotted with tar, new points, tested and tuned with HCCT and ECCT. Nice coils, but not show quality. PM me if interested and I can provide picture...

Our 1925 dash light cover cracked and broke. I am in search of another. Parts suppliers sell a replacement whole dash light assembly, but I'd rather just get a new cover if I can. Anyone have a good used one for sale?
Thanks in advance, David

I bought this from eBay and am very pleased with the quality and how they mount (windshield bracket screw) and minimal vibration as compared to the clamp on type. Price has gone up since I bought mine in 2021. I put one on each side of my 15 roadster, just for safety. https://www.ebay.com/itm/166089...

Finally getting around to installing my AC brakes on my 15 T. Do I need to remove the paint from the outside of the hub where the AC brake shoes will contact? My gut tells me yes, to keep the paint from gumming up on the brake shoes, but wanted to ask.
Thanks,
David

Looks like the one I have too.

PM sent to you.

Where is the car located? My nephew has been looking for a depot hack in the Midwest but so far no luck.

I'd be interested, as well, at $275.
-David

Tim - sent you an email.

-David

Corey it was good to see you there and meet you in person. The Holley G i bought from you on eBay works fantastic on my 1915 T. I could not be happier with it. I hope you did well there.

-David

I offered to by her a Model T for Valentine's Day. Didn't work. Was worth a try....

Appreciate all the input. Wayne Sheldon, i am working on tuning up this 1909 for a new friend. It is a beautiful car and just needs the tune up. engine was rebuilt a few years ago, along with the carb. i put in a set of freshly rebuilt coils. i need to inspect the timer to see if everything looks go...

Thanks Wayne, I appreciate the information. I'll check out EFR. As a side question, i think i understand that to use a timer that is available today, you have to change the timer cover because there is no way to put in a modern oil seal. Can you or anyone confirm that? If something else is available...

Is anyone reproducing the timers for the early Model T's like in the picture?

Mike Bender in Tulsa, OK rebuilt my Model T engine. Runs great, very happy with it.

sending a PM

I also bought a rebuilt Holley G from Corey Walker for my 1915 Runabout. It runs great and I could not be happier with it!

Very sorry to learn of your loss. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I have a complete 1917 engine/transmission that needs rebuilt or a thorough refresh. i took it to the Chickasha Swap Meet last year and had to bring it back home. Not doing that again this year, but it is for sale to a good home.

i sent my email to you in a Private Message here on the forum.

my nephew in Oklahoma City is looking for a Depot Hack. I sent you a PM. Is it still available?

Looking forward to my first time to attend!

I was there 3-4 years ago and didn't see model t stuff at all. saw a '28 chevy, lots of '30-'40s stuff, and classic/street rods stuff. Since i was looking for Model T ear and earlier, i won't go back.

I second that for Corey Walker. Got a great rebuilt carb from him.

I am looking for one too!

My winter project for my 1915 runabout is to remove the turtle box and install one of the accessory wood truck beds. Turtle box removal with just 4 bolts, right? Unless one of the previous owners decided to braze the top of the box in several places to the back seat metal. Uhg. I was trying to do th...

Just curious where folks locate their battery cuttoff. Was hoping to see some ideas to avoid crawling under the car to switch the battery feed off. Right now I have mine in the back corner of my turtle box, but I'm going to put on a wood truck bed. Thanks.

I'd be interested in a Canadian coil box switch cover plate for my 1915. The one i have is in pretty good shape, but i'm open to the possibility of a better one.

Were you able to get the horn adjustment worked out? Would be good to hear what you had to do.

My '15 T had an NH on it when i bought it. Car ran great with it. I purchased a rebuilt Holly G from Corey Walker to put on after my engine rebuild since i heard the '15 would have likely had a G originally. The G is a smooth running carb and the car starts very easy. Once i got the fuel mixture set...

So sad to see the passing of so many that make significant contributions to the Model T hobby and history. Does anyone know if that will be the end of T&W Timers and parts or if someone will continue production of timers and parts?

Ron, I can't imagine any electrical issue with the horn being the only thing powered by the mag. With a healthy mag, it should work great. I think you are on to something with the other advice given regarding the adjustment. Always something on these old cars and part of the learning experience. I h...

Hi Ron, sorry to hear you are having trouble with it. The business card from the guy that rebuilt it and sold it to me at Hershey was with the horn. If you can contact him, he may be able to help. Also, that horn should have both terminals insulated from the body, so you might check to make sure the...

I have a magneto horn I bought refurbished in 2019 from a vendor at Hershey for my 1915 that I am not going to use. During my engine rebuild, I put a starter hogs head on and opted for the single stack magneto coils, not thinking about running using the mag horn. PM me if you are interested, I can s...

Sorry Don, I did not. Send me a Private Message on this forum if you have questions.

All eight pending sales

Thanks for the PMs. Working them in the order i received them.

I have some extra coils for sale that I got from an estate sale. I have refurbished and tested them. If interested, PM me for details and more pictures. Not trying to compete with our awesome community of professional coil rebuilders.

I am looking for the setup too. Rich Baughmann is not going to be back in the shop for a good while.

Thanks all for the information. Johnson's did my 1908 Cadillac Wheels about 35 years ago, but i did not know if they were even around anymore. If they are, that would be close. I seem to recall having quite a lead time on getting them done, but they were fantastic when finished.

I have a rear wheel and front wheel on my 1915 Model T Roadster that "wobble". Spokes appear to be warped, not loose. Who do you recommend to have them checked out and re-spoked? Original wooden spoke wheels.

Thanks

David

Steve - contact Mike Bender. He put a Scat crank in my model t engine. if i remember correctly, Scat makes a 1-1/4 crank for T's.

Looking for some also.

I would like to purchase 4 gently used or new old stock rear axle bearings. I am not interested in the newer style replacement bearings without the grooves in them. Looking for some with less at a couple of thousands wear.

Thanks,

Still looking for the AC brake linkage setup. Just missed out on a set at Chickasha. Dang. Got my brakes last week from Larry Sidmore and anxious to put them on display on my car.

Here is a great article from Royce Peterson

https://modeltfordfix.com/model-t-spark ... nthusiast/

Are you planning to come to the Chickasha, OK, swap meet? I'll be there and i have a couple of pretty nice 30x3.5 tires i will give you if you find the wheels.

Thanks for the reply. Rich is not manufacturing them at this time and I am told it may be a while before he does. Was hoping to find someone that had a set they wanted to sell.

Still looking for someone that might have a set of the Rich Baughman linkage for AC brakes for sale. Or something similar with the rod setup.

I have a complete 1917 Model T engine with transmission with manifolds for sale. It needs a full refresh or overhaual. I bought it for a spare engine before knowing it needed an overhaul. No signs of cracking or damage, just tired. I can deliver it to the Chickasha Swap Meet. If I don't sell it befo...

I called Bob's today and they are still in business. They said the website was not really a return on investment, so they decided not to keep it. Got my parts i usually order so i am happy. Sorry i missed the post on Funprojects. Thanks for the clarification'

Anyone know what has happened to Bob's Antique Auto Parts and Fun Projects? The websites appear to be gone.

Steve - you could give Mike Bender a call, he's done one or two in his day!

Send pm, might have enough of a set left over from my installation

Thank you for the PM. I tried to reply via email. I look forward to hearing from you after your install.

Thanks for the pictures. I think this is a picture of the some of product that Rich manufactures, not for sure.

I have a set of AC brakes on order from Larry Sidmore. At this time, Rich is not producing the rod linkage sets. I would prefer to have the rod linkage rather than the cable setup, but I am looking for options until Rich is back producing his product. Can anyone steer me to a solution? 1915 Model T ...

I have used the soap and bee's wax trick for years! My grandfather always had a small bar of soap in his toolbox and he would drill a hole in the wooden handle of his hammer and put bee's wax in it so as to always have it on hand!

Planning to get my 1915 Runabout back on the road with a freshly rebuilt engine by Mike Bender!

email sent, i would like one, if you still have some left.

My son is a postman and is just now delivering packages promised Dec 15. He says the distribution centers have been hit hard my COVID because the workers cannot really social distance. The distribution centers are understaffed. In a world of instant gratification, we are being taught some patience, ...

Hi Ron,

Tried to PM you but something went wrong. You have my contact info so if you don't mind, text me your new information.

Thanks,

David Ruedy

i am interested in a set, as well

Looks like I may have found the issue...with Wayne's help. What is the best way to re-adjust these spring clamps to re-position the spring in the right spot?

: rear spring appears skewed to the passenger side (to the right), clamp on the left has obviously move since the paint job

Thank you for the responses. i have a lot to check out and compare. i don't think the tire was rubbing on the driver's side, but i take a look and get pictures of that side. i does not rub unless there are passengers in the rear seat and you hit a bump. more to come....thanks all for the help so far!

Here are some pictures of the issue. My fender is roughly 10 and 1/8 in wide.

Would that be 2in wider than the standard 1913 fender? that might explain it if someone put a replacement standard fender on it.

Does anyone know if the rear fenders were different on the widetrack model T's? my family has a 1913 widetrack and recently changed the tires on it and the tire is rubbing the rear fender at the outer part on the lower side by the running board. The old tires were slightly different, still 30x3.5, a...

Dave, thanks for the offer. I found some that I think will work for now. I'll certainly keep you in mind if something does not work out. I really do appreciate the response and offer.

-David

I am looking for some good core Ford coils to rebuild as spares for my family's Model T's. It would have been nice to pick some up at a swap meet, but, well, we know how that worked out this year! Please PM me if you have some laying around you would like to get rid of.

Thanks,

Found a very nice one, thanks MFTCA Forum! Let the fun begin!

Hi Richard, thanks for the offer. I would not be able to pick up, as I will not be in California any time soon. Still looking....

Looking to purchase a Hand Crank Coil Tester. We have enough Model T's in the family and local club to put it to use!
