After painting the background color, I took my plates to a Fast Signs store where they made the numbers out of black vinyl and put them on the plates for $10 per plate. Worth a try to see if they will do it for you.

That is a good idea, John, but I really don't want to work that hard. LOL

So sorry, you are correct, I missed the part where he passed.

John iaccino

Looks to me like someone adapted a '30-'31 Model A bumper to a Model T.

John iaccino

Having gone through this, I can only say how sorry for him. I wish him well and a speedy recovery. John

Sorry about your brother. My brother Frank has it too. We were in different hospitals at the same time. His condition is about the same as mine. Each day gets a little better.

John iaccino

Thanks for asking , Bob. Progress is slow, breathing is very difficult with even the slightest exertion. The worst part about it is that my other medical issues are on hold due to Covid precautions at hospitals and doctors offices. Each day is a little better.

John iaccino

Armatures are now being offered to someone else due to non contact with first person. Email being sent to Ken in Tx.

John iaccino

Email and PM sent to Marc in NJ. Have not heard from you for a few weeks. Do you still want them?

John iaccino

I am sorry to have been away from the forum for a while. Have been in the hospital with covid and just got home. Feel very weak, but on the mend. Have tried to respond to questions, if I forgot anyone, I am sorry. John

John iaccino

Ken, someone asked about the armatures the day before you did. Sorry I took so long to respond, but have been in the hospital with covid. Just getting home today. Feel very weak. Have to quarantine for another week. If the deal falls through, I will let you know.

John iaccino

Sorry to hear of Jays passing. Cathy and I have many fond memories of Jay and Barbara on National tours. He will be missed.

John iaccino

I sent a priority box to Texas 14 days ago. Paid for priority 3 day delivery and it still has not arrived to Texas.

John iaccino

Dave, I remember meeting you at one of the Model T tours on the South Shore with Ann and Bill Stafford. My suggestion is have at it. John

John iaccino

The rear arms of the engine pain will not go past the firewall brackets. Suggest you unbolt the firewall brackets and some of the body brackets and lift the body and firewall up just enough to slide the engine forward.

John iaccino

I personally prefer that the coils fit tight in the box. If they are loose, they may not make good contact. Some coils are so loose that shims are needed to insure good electrical contact.

In New York, there is an affidavit you can sign stating that you have owned the car for a number of years, but lost the registration. They will give you a duplicate registration that can be used to register the car. Some people use this to circumvent the registration process. I have heard of this be...

John iaccino

If you are going to go to your local DMV, do not tell them that the number is the engine number. Tell them the number is the VIN. If you tell them the number is the engine number, you will run into all sorts of trouble.

John iaccino

I stand corrected, I did not know that they had different switches. Thanks.

John iaccino

A KW master vibrator would have had a KW switch. Very nice master vibrator but with an added on switch.

John iaccino

yes, I have been doing these for some time now. I can either supply spindles or rebuild yours. Thanks for asking. John

Possibly to pull spring perches?

John iaccino

Dwight, Just a personal ‘trick’ whether I am doing a closed car, or an open one on bows. I only sink the tacks in halfway until I’m happy with the fit and draw...then once assured I don’t have a pucker...or need just a wee bit more tug by pulling a few tacks for the stretch needed...only then hamme...

John iaccino

Tim, you are correct, wire-on didn't come out until the early to mid '30's. Hidem was even used on the Model A Ford.

John iaccino

Long grain Cobra has been around since the early to mid 20's and was used on closed car tops. Short grain Cobra was used on open car tops. I learned this from my father who was the trimmer for Holbrook bodies from mid 20's till they folded due to the depression.

Does anyone else remember a time before the rage of hand crank coil testers, and now the electronic coil testers, where we used to adjust the coils by ear? They did not run 'perfect' , but they got along pretty darn good. Just wondering.

John iaccino

Thanks, Mark for the info.

John iaccino

Jonah, see post in the discussion forum.

John iaccino

Jonah, I hope someone will correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the only difference between the large and small set-up is the addition of the extra brake drum. I think you can use your set-up and just omit the extra large drum that comes with the early brakes. John

What exactly is reaming?
Jonah, the king pins are 1/2" in diameter. The holes in the bushings need to be made a few thousandths larger than the king pins to be able to rotate inside the bushings and still have clearance for oil. A ream enlarges the hole in the bushings to allow for the clearance.

John iaccino

Jonah, if you send me the spindles and new king pins, I will rebuild the spindles for you and ream the bushings for free. John
