This is a very nice reproduction key board made several years ago by Tim Morsher. Nicely reproduced and mounted on thin sheet metal with brass hooks. He made several different styles of these and I don’t believe he makes them any longer. Measures about 9” x 14”. Great for displaying your key collect...

Original, hard to find KR Wilson Steering Wheel puller. It’s a little big for a Model T wheel. Works great for Model A through 1940 Fords and other early cars that don’t have threaded holes that allow the use of a conventional style steering wheel puller. Pretty sure the bolt has been replaced at s...

This is a nice pair of hard to find Firestone 30x3.5 demountable clincher rims. No heavy pitting, just some light surface rust. The clincher edges are in very nice shape.

I used the same method as Dan Treace. I cut a piece of wood a little thinner that 1/4” think and used it to gently spread the channel large enough that the safety glass could fit properly. I took my old pieces of plate glass to the glass shop and had them use it as a template and I installed the new...

Nice pair of front spindles correct for 1911-1918 with correct straight steering arms. No wear grooves or smashed threads. Could probably use some new bushings.

Very nice pair of early front spring perches for over the axle wishbone front end. Very good threads, someone did a nice job removing them without destroying them. They don’t have a hole for an oiler so I believe that makes them 1915 and earlier but I could be wrong. SOLD! $150 plus shipping in the ...

This is a really neat period aftermarket accessory called the “Iron Claw”.

When I built my speedster I looked up springs in the encyclopedia. I found that the least amount of leaves used were 6 in the front and 6 on the rear for runabouts. I removed enough leaves so I had six in each. I figured if Ford thought that many would work for a runabout, then I figured that many w...

I would leave it alone.

It looks like there is wrapping tape under the read coating. If it's original, there is a good chance that it is cotton. It will be almost impossible to get it clean enough to get anything to stick to it since its been soaked in oil for many many years.

I agree with the others.

It will have an effect on the final torque value. However, if you place the extension 90 degrees to the head of the torque wrench it will not influence the final toque value.

My condolences to his family and friends for their loss. It was always a pleasure to read about his enthusiasm for his first Model T.

I’ve used this several times with success. I took a thick washer and ground down the sides to clear the rivets inside of the tube. The washer fit over the threaded end of an old steering shaft and was just the right length to be able to knock out the old bushing. You could also use a length of pipe ...

It’s tough to beat the design of the Ford sediment bowl. It gives you the ability to shut the fuel off, filter out dirt, drain any water or sediment, and drain the tank all in one.

What use it to divert the exhaust straight out?

Because it just sounds plain cool!

Any local vinyl graphics shop or sign shop should be able to print up one for a reasonable price if you can’t find what you are looking for.

I have one exactly like that on my speedster. Works great!

George,

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Out of all of the broken cranks you forensically inspected, what do you feel was the most common cause of the failures?

I have also experienced great success with the newest style of reproduction New Day timer offered by the T parts vendors.

I’ve been running one on my speedster for several years and have only noticed some minor wear and requiring very little maintenance.

Drive it!!!

Nice work Mark! I really like the hood you are using.

My only brass polishing tip…….Don’t!

Thanks for sharing Tom. I always enjoy seeing the progress on your latest projects.
