Thanks Dan and Frank. I won't use the dust cover. Gene

I'm finally getting around to installing a set of Houk wire wheels that I purchased many years ago on my 1926/27 speedster project. There is a shallow cup shaped dust cover that is supposed to be installed on the front hubs and I don't know how it is supposed to be installed. It looks like it goes d...

Need a 1926/27 steering wheel nut, nickle plated only. Looking for one with a dull weathered finish to match my steering wheel. New ones in nickle don't seem to be available and would be too shiny for me anyway. Best to contact me via email: eugeneDOTabbondelo@verizonDOTnet (make period substitution...

Hi Donnie: just sent you an email message.

Gene

Yes, that's what I need. Mine are totally missing. Anyone have any?

Gene

Donnie:

I'm looking for the filler channels inside the stanchions. I now see that what Snyders has is the filler block inside the windshield. Apparently no one is reproducing the filler channel inside the stanchions. That's what I need.

Gene

Jack: thanks for the link. Langs doesn't carry them so I mistakenly assumed they were not being reproduced. Gene

I bought a set of 26/27 windshield stanctions that are missing the filler pieces located inside and which support the windshield frame. Does anyone have a set for sale? Please email me at:

Thanks for the info everyone. Hank: what method did you use to bend them? I'm thinking heat with oxy/acet, then gradually press down in a press or with C clamps. I think hammering might break the spokes. I would bend the tips so I can locate it in the center of the rim. This would also take up some ...

I have a Model T steering wheel with the solid iron spokes, not the stamped steel spokes. Are the solid iron spokes cast iron or cast steel? I'm thinking of bending them straight to make a racing style steering wheel for my speedster project. I understand cast iron can't be heated and bent successfu...

I have a Frontenac overhead valve conversion on a 26/227 T engine which will go into my speedster project. I noticed in a period ad illustration for the RAJO overhead valve conversion that the oiling pad is secured to the top of the valve cover and there are 2 oiling ports with cups drilled into the...

I'm considering using a paint product used in marine applications for a brush finish on my 26/27 speedster project. Here is the product maker website: http://www.epifanes.com The only downside for me (besides the quality of my brush painting) is that they do not make a low sheen finish--everything s...

Hershey's almost here--bump to the top

For my speedster project I'm looking for the lower half of a 26/27 touring car windshield and a pair of stanctions. Must be in good condition, especially the lower corners of the windshield--mine are rusted out totally. Hershey pickup. Please call me on 301-512-5266 and leave a message as I'll be aw...

Ed: I interested in the parts and sent you an email thru the forum. Gene.

Hi club members: My son recently bought a house in Richmond, Va and since he is new to the area he is looking for recommendations for a mason or hardscape contractor to build a patio for him. I'm in the Blue & Gray chapter in central Maryland so am unable to give him any help. If anyone could give m...

Hi all: I just received my Nov/Dec Vintage Ford magazine. I'm intrigued by the red speedster on the back cover and would like to see more photos as I'm in the process of building a 1926/27 speedster. If the owner (Jack Harlan??) is on the forum, could he kindly email me (eugene.abbondelo@verizon.net...

Mike: will purchase both. Sent you a pm. Gene

Found an engine hood for my speedster project, but still looking for a 1926/27 firewall for Hershey pickup. I'm using a cowl that has an indentation at the front to allow the engine hood to fit flush with the cowl. So I need a firewall for this type of cowl. Please email me at: eugene.abbondelo@veri...
