What a lovely original car!

I would be a buyer as well, should another shut off valve become available.

Hi Erik:

I just replied to your PM. Sorry I missed it and I do apologize for that.

They turn up on Ebay occasionally. I bought a NOS stock one there a few years ago.

Mark: What is your opinion of the originality of the paint and upholstery? Thx, Tim

For a "T" without a starter, I use a 6V dry cell flashlight battery to tickle the coils. Hide it under the seat. A fresh one will last 4-5 years if just used for starting.

Yikes! Brush fire?

Why not call the number in the ad?

How about Grainger's or McMaster-Carr? I've had good luck with them in the past.

Glad to see that you guys are on your toes. What a shame we have to deal with this crap.

What a neat accessory!

I'll chime in along with the other folks here. It's just not worth the risk of using what is at the very least a part in questionable condition. Source a good one and toss this one aside.

Hi Larry.

I sent you a PM a few days ago. Will you be shipping the labels soon?

Thx, Tim

Congratulations! Looks like a nice car.

Interested in an excellent and complete unrestored unit. Would consider a properly rebuilt unit.

The lights on my '13 will accept either style (tapered or flat). They pop up on EBay once in a while. That's where I got mine.

I'm guessing that original lenses in acetylene headlamps were made of a glass that would withstand high temps?

Looking for a set of original headlight lenses for my 1913 with JNO Brown 16 lamps. Any help would be appreciated.

The old dry cell "hot shot" batteries are still available. Both Duracell and Rayovac still make them. My local hardware store sells them. I only use them for cold starting and they last about 3-4 years.

I've been going to Hershey since 1976. I showed my Model "A" roadster there many years ago and received a National First Place award. It's a lot of fun, but also a lot of work if you are presenting a car for judging. As someone else mentioned, park your trailer off site and drive in. The whole show ...

Hoping to find a carbide generator appropriate for a mostly original car with a 50 year old paint job. Must be excellent and complete.

The Optima is a great battery, but they will last longer if you have a regulated power supply meaning you really should have a volt regulator on your car. Also the battery cloaking device on EBay is in group 2 battery case. Not sure if that will fit in your "T". It will not fit in a Model "A" as tha...

Looking to have a Model "T" transported from WV to MA. Flexible on timing, experience hauling "T"s required along with references. Please PM me with contact info.

I know this has been discussed in the past, but I'd like to get some current thoughts on the topic. I recently bought a '13 touring with its original front axle/wishbone assembly. My intent is to tour with the car once I get it sorted out. I know that the early wishbone attachment on the top of the ...

Looking for a nice, complete carbide generator for my '13. Not looking for a restored unit. Let me know what you have.

Pictures please.
