I also would be interested.

Thanks guys. I will take a look at it tomorrow. Does this require a hole being drilled in the frame?

No, nothing came with it. I will call them if I can’t get anything by Monday.

Can someone provide a picture or instructions on mounting this switch I just purchased from Langs. I can’t seem to place it correctly. [image]

This on a 26 coupe.

Looking great! That is a really nice job you are doing on this T.

I’ll take the radiator apron.

Need for both doors and any hardware. Repros are ok.

Need the hinge that is cupped on the long edge that the windshield frame slides into for an early 26 coupe.

Thanks Ken. You are a far ways from me! If anyone is closer let me know, if not I am definitely interested.

Not sure what it is called but I need the long metal pieces that the door latch fits into. Maybe door lock striker plate? Second picture is where on my car the piece is missing.

The first picture is what it looks like on Jim’s 26.
I need both sides.

That’s interesting I wonder if the fordor was done differently?

Thanks Jerry, so the leatherette is placed around the frame and then tucked up inside and sewn. Then screwed into the wooden header. I guess some kind of glue or such is used to attach the side pieces to keep them from puckering after the metal pieces are installed. Thanks for the pictures. They rea...

So that makes sense to me. The ribs are not encased with the fabric. Thanks

What is the small hole in the visor side piece for? On any of the pictures that I have seen on the forum this hole is not present. It’s on both side pieces. Also does anyone have a photo of how the flat metal piece is placed on the cover and the tabs bent back over to hold the cover on. Not sure wha...

Finally finished painting, my ‘booth’ was a little small but I made do. IMG_2024-01-05-183457.jpeg Now I need to determine whether I should replace my bands. I’m not sure when they were changed but it must have been about at least 30 years ago !! IMG_2024-01-05-213821.jpeg It appears that the low ba...

Can you please contact jiminbartow (Jim Patrick) and have him contact me at gtojesse at yahoo dot com? Thanks. I have been trying for a week now and neither pm or email is responded to.

Hang in there you will be back there before ya know it!! Welcome back…

Does the red top optima require a different charger as compared to the normal batteries?

Looks great Don. When I was over there the other week you still had a great deal to do. Glad you were able to get it finished with all the heat since then. It has slowed me down.
Great job!!

I would like a copy of tinkerin tips.

Restoring a 26 coupe near Lexington/Midway.

Arrived Friday early. Found a few things I needed. Headlight reflectors that I found were in excellent shape. Pitched an additional carb for my 26 as I only had one and needed a backup. Misc stuff door handles etc. also a batter box that I needed. Ran out of funds 👎 had to give it up. Will be back n...

Greg I am having the same issue with DM ‘s. Please contact me at gtojesse at yahoo dot com
Jesse.

Stopped off at the auto fair. Did not see any T parts but they were having a aaca show and there were a few T’s
Plan on being at Luray in a few weeks!!

I am having the same problem with email and pm’s.

Distagon2 I have been trying to reach you ever since the forum messed up and slowed down. Could you please contact me on email at gtojesse at yahoo dot com

Jesse.

I’ll take one 6 volt also.

Thanks for all the help, much appreciated.

Ok, I think I understand what I’m seeing. As long as it will run with no problems with this cover all should be fine. I have installed a new outlet connector which has the correct eccentric and all should be good. The old one was very rusted out were it connected to the hose to the radiator. I am no...

So let me get this straight…. This is earlier timing cover with the wrong bolt installed? How do you determine the difference between the two covers. Here is another picture.

The eccentric you are speaking of is above where this is. This appears to be in one of the top bolt holes for the timing cover?? Here is another picture

Can someone tell me why the long shouldered bolt is here go?

Finished up the wood backrest and bottom.

Can anyone tell me why there is a bolt with a long shoulder installed here?

Got a little more done on the seat back and bottom.

Thanks Nathan, that is very helpful. I believe I have enough to make what I need.

Yep, that sounds plausible for the cross member number.
I’m not sure whether they braced the door openings when they put the top on but I haven’t had a chance to hang the doors yet. I need to find some screws and such first.
I was able to work on the seat bottom wood today almost finished with that.

I was looking at that,my brother-in-law put a new top and wood on the car at some point I have noticed that others have stated in order to get the headliner in correctly I may have to remove the top to accomplish that. Will need to figure out how it is attached. Going to work on the wood for seats t...

Thanks James I will check those out.

Nathan, That is exactly what I need, thanks so much. My engine s/n is 12494960 (Oct. 1925) The frame s/n is 13417658 (March of 26), It also has a number on the cross member of the body in front of the seat (077065 B) not sure what that signifies? I have some red oak that should work nicely.. Does yo...

Thanks Robert. I have been looking at some of the posts..

Terry I looked at the site you mentioned, it does not list the wood for the seat bottom/back. I think I have enough pictures to figure it out though..

Steve- Thanks for the memo. So I believe I will go with black on the valve cover.... John- I believe my dad painted the engine, I'm not sure whether anything was done to the engine. I remember he said they cranked it and ran it around the yard, is all I can remember... There was no gas tank that I c...

Terry- It is my understanding some of these 26 coupes had all wood package trays. Not sure if mine was supposed to or not. If metal was supposed to be attached then could you post a picture I may be interested. I have the seat springs already (my dad had ordered them) you can see one piece on the fl...

Greetings to all, I am trying to restore a 26 coupe that my father bought back in the early 70's. I was not here during the time he was doing the disassemble as I had just joined the service. To say the least it is an adventure trying to put all the pieces back together. He did quite a bit of work o...
