I just fabricate and machine my own for a proper fit.

If it is made by Mr Roadster then it will fit fine.

As Jim as said about the differences I have set up the engine at a 30 degree angle to compensate the sag so to say. Never had an issue and was very happy with the results. My Dad at 94 taught me this trick some years back, he has been playing with T’s since 1944. Just a little field experience he ca...

I second the motion on Scott's suggestion! I have had a half of the head break off after a year or so..., got very lucky!

Seeing grown men bash the Sh!t out of another’s creation is really beyond me. It is theirs to do as they seem fitting for their enjoyment. Some here are saying, crush it, burn it, etc. amazing the attitude of some. You must be very holy and live in an HOA and rat out your neighbors. I think some of ...

Would be pretty simple to make a mold using your can's male threads and cast them out of brass or aluminum. Youtube has great simple videos. Don't over think it thinking you are going to find something modern that is going to fit a non standard thread, this was way before SAE standards.

Heavier puncture resistance motorcycle 3:00 X 21” tubes work excellent and are at a cost of about $28.00. And they are DOT approved! You can easily modify an adapter to fit the stems for covers.

Definitely the perches are 180 degrees out. Just Sayin as Toon stated.

Take a rubber mallet to the spark/throttle quadrant and pound it toward the steering wheel should remedy the issue. Rotate the levelers back and forth while striking and lift toward steering wheel. Been there done that to many times!

Economics and those interested vs inflation.

Would not be difficult to fabricate one and then texture to look like cast aluminum. Been there done that.

I chase a pixie like this that damn near put me in the looney bin...., do as Jerry said and my lil pixie was a hard seat that was installed very crappy and was loose dancing around.

Definitely know what one is but your posted sounded like a single type. Yes, I have one but do not want to part with it due to gun smithing work. Will keep my eyes open but they do not show up very often.

Definitely a 30 X 3 1/2" by the looks of the rim dimension area.

Making a softer and lower cushion and making a less bulky back rest are a remedy but it is really depended about your stature. Taking about 4" of the steering column for folks with a larger waist is another remedy.

Way to go Mark!!!!!!!!

I have plenty of era correct wire terminals (heavy) in both closed and fork style eyes. Send me an email with quantity.

Hank

So old they have the wire sizes stamped on the back.

If it does not turn in the direction you require, use a bell crank from a Jeep forward cab. Just follow the 90 degree rule of steering geometry in the push/pull at the attachment points. The internet has all of this.

Ross steering boxes can be found in various types that are easy to adapt, ie, early Jeeps, early Willys, Crosleys, Cushman, early golf carts of various manufacturers, even old tractors used them.

Just do a little research

Very Nice David..., Rock On!

Statistics do not lie…., from my graphs and selling items for years with market interest and values.., if it does not sell within 16 hours of posting with the quantity of views, there is a 92.6% that I will not sell it.

With respect Jerry, it follows the rules of a 501C in that you are not allowed to promote a business directly but may post sources. This is to prevent shell businesses from forming in a non profit. Protect the club comes to mind.

Jerry,

They list their items with no business information on the lower section of the page. Personal items are permitted under the rules and by laws. Services offered are in a separate group.

I think you are in violation of the rules...., Businesses can not advertise.

Who is paying for rehab and your deductible if you hurt yourself? Asking for a friend.

Thanks anyway

Machine the bottom of the shaft as others have stated...., done bunches over the years. Anything else is asking for a dangerous situation in the hands of those with limited skills. The shaft/flange attachment is where all the torque is located.

Just Sayin'

Transmission is SOLD!

I do have a RAD 4 top loader transmission available completely rebuilt with everything except the adapter plates for $800.00.

New price…,$1,200.00 FIRM! You collect and if you can send an email, you can call too with no excuses!

Hank

Pop out the pin on the u joint, separate forward of the pinion spool and go from there….., just a little logic.

I still have those decals in my stash…, Thanks for the flashback Dan!

Who said you had to get off the creeper? As an old salt, come prepared, more beer and just lean over for a whiz!

Thank You Mr Walt for the kind comments...., just life with shared experiences.

Completely rebuilt Ford C3 Automatic with all the C3 accessories (starter, flex plate, torque converter, dip stick, cooler, starter, etc, etc) minus the forward adapter plate, rear has had extensive mods to go back to a shortened enclosed driveshaft. T engines will not load up with this beast. Puts ...

Exhaust pipes etc do not run hot on low grade fuel, up the octane, compression ratio, overhead valve....., you are creating heat or power (typical KW conversion). The coolant temp does not raise. Look how your modern car creates power.

Happy Birthday Glenn!

Mark, My daddy says your daddy is still a punk..., he has 4 years on him. Dad pulls out his AARP card time to time.

Some of us live in a very humid climate and some live in a very dry climate......, wood is a sponge and when it warms up too quickly after being in that humidity, Oh Crap!

Well they do prevent heat causing your floor boards to rattle/warp/crack/etc! Wrapping the exhaust pipe will only cause them to rot out at a very fast rate as it makes them sweat with condensation from the outside. 4,000 degree Rockwool in-between is just an added bonus. Just Sayin" IMG_5713.jpeg IM...

REO yes....., Ford no. You must anneal the rounded brass or you will kink it. You think Henry Ford would have added extra steps in that? Flat can be slapped with a mallet with a light edge support.

Online metals has whatever you need. They give you options in grades.

Correct me if I am wrong Kevin since this is your specialty but weren't the originals produced while hot as hell with a compensation roll to allow them to lay flat when they cool?

Inquiring Minds

The good ole "Cyclone Filter"...., Have used plenty over the years Craig! I like the 1928 Chevy ones the best!

All what is left is polishing the edges of the wing wings and it is ready for collection. Will be back after painting to install the upholstery.

Larry is correct..., the rounded trim is actual for boats. I have to make it on a sheet metal brake in the past or use a power roller with 3/4" flat dies..., works either way.

Just Sayin

All what is left for the windshield is upper and lower channels with retainers/cut and polish the glass. Started the pull back pleated seat wrap for back and cushions.

Dave so glad to hear you are fine as can be expected under circumstances! Surround yourself with kind people.

All the Best,

Hank

So after all the rough in with a rasp file, I come back with a conventional double bastard and then down to a single bastard file. Then I start with 80 grit, 120 grit, 240 grit, 320 grit all dry. As you can see depending on the cloth wheel weave and jewelers rouge used will determine your sheen. We ...

Well both frames are in shape today. Did some shopping for peep mirror mounts and they all look like flimsy crap...., Soooo I started making dagger style.

US Boiler Works made a lot of odd stuff here and there to back fill as required. Definitely looks like their logo.

I have been using the same files for over 12 years. After 2 cups of coffee this morning.., one is in the rough.

The key in a good job is quality material, T6061 billet, good files and rasp. When ever you are working any soft material use canners wax by means of rubbing your file. They never plug and clean up easy. Watch your pressure when cutting on the strokes. I use lay out dye for a good contrast. IMG_5749...

Billet T6061 aluminum (solid).

Galvanized sheetmetal formed on a box brake with 4,000 degree proof rock wool behind it.

Seat was supplied by customer (steel) just modifying for comfort.

Bucket seats are nice but they do not meet the stature requirements for modern old aged folks...., converting to a love seat design!

Some added items......,

Firewall dishing for an overhead conversion! Lower floor board heat shields are a must!

Well finally finished up the truing of the billet on a vertical belt sander using 40 grit. I drill completely thru the stanchions and then TIG up the holes for a full depth thread.., old school. Now making windshield/wind-wing templets and setting the style as we agree on the final design. Next will...

Now start making series/parallel circuits and you just made a potato...

Can't afford a membership but can afford an antique car......., Priorities are in the wrong order !

As the wheel of economics and social interaction runs its coarse, we fail to realize that a few pay the dues and others benefit for free. With that said, not putting anyone down, we will run out of those paid members that contribute the funds and then the dues increase. Sounds familiar as this is ho...

I have always set timing by a vacuum to optimize fuel efficiency. Simple with a vacuum port, set to the highest HG psi and back off 1 psi at idle. What ever is your octane level you just hit the sweet spot. If you ever wonder why some T intakes have a drilled port...., now you know. Science does not...

It will have wing wings as well.

Will provide more as this project progresses.

From years back.., keeping my word to assist in the parts that do not exist. Installing a Vega Steering Box, High angle wedge for the column drop, and custom billet aluminum windshield stanchions.
