Yes, there are drain plug kits. I recently purchased 2 of them. But Bruce wants to get this car going for Father's Day. Since you can see a few threads, it's partially out. Try the putty knives or some thin pry bars simultaneously with unscrewing it. Good luck, Bruce

I changed the oil in the 20 roadster getting ready for the Stettler tour. I lifted the front end with a floor jack and a piece of landscape timber under the axle. BAD IDEA! As I was walking out of the garage to give it time to drain, the timber rolled and the car came down to where the car was resting on the bent tie rod and drag link on the jack....

does nyone have a clue?

My 14 Touring is approximately 48 on centers - so are the L irons coming out of the body.

Is it only shaky when moving? Perhaps the tires/wheels are out of balance. I have a stock engine but it's pretty smooth. I balanced the tires with balance beads and they roll smoothly down the road.

I am very interested in this!
Do you prefer call or text? I could get ahold of you sometime this weekend.

I also have a set of Mel Miller's plans I acquired from Leon parker in 2004. They are copyright 1970 renewed in 1987. For works created after 1978, the copyright life is 70 years after the death of the author.

Thank you Mr. Bogstie for posting those videos!

Mr. Townsend, they are Stromberg OS-2’s

Thanks for the heads up, there are definitely not a lot of parts for these around. I think the stewards of the bus project may have spoken with Mr. Eagle before his untimely passing, but the project has been sidelined a while and I’m not sure where they are with it. What an insane auction, I hope it goes well and I sure wish I was closer. What an...

The muffler bearing is irrelevant, as it does not come into play except when you're driving backwards up a hill to save gas. The starter, on the other hand, is of vital importance. Everybody knows that a Model T will not start if it doesn't spin fast. You should convert to a twenty-four volt starting system. You could do this with a pair of...

I for one am just happy the cars like this still exist.

I can'r see the pins fitting with those measurements either. .004 is way to much interference in such a small hole/fit. Perhaps the problem is in the way you are using your measurement equipment..
The alternative may be installing a new steering shaft and 5:1 gearset. An added benefit of this is you will get a new bearing surface where the new...

Burr Tillstrom's Kukla and Ollie, introduced by Edward R. Murrow, celebrate the glories of the Model T in this live TV musical number from 1953. Thank you for the suggestion Jerry!

Hi Frank, did you get my e-mail? Thanks Ray

Hot air pipes headed to a new garage - thanks MTFCA !

The coilbox is sold.

Keith,
Good points. It’s difficult to speculate. Up to this time (mid 1905) there didn’t appear to be any daylight between the Ford-Malcomson partnership. Things were going well, no, spectacularly. Tomorrow I’m starting a “120 years ago today” thread that will demonstrate how successful Ford Motor Co. had become.

The car Malcomson would produce...

Something must not be moving. I have a 24 Coupe and I finally took off the firewall and for me everything was easier to get to. I did it that way. Look closely with someone looking on as you move it up to see where it’s hitting on or dragging on.

Was the handbrake moving the clutch ring back and forth before you unbolted everthing?

Was the...

Thank you, Sally.
I send you a message.

Interested, Where are these located?

Well that fits my 1912 Canadian car is a Sept 1912 built car with the 13 style diff and slotted drain plug, it also has the slotted oil drain plug.

Thanks Dave. That board is also what is on my Van. I am fortunate to be driving a RHD car. It makes it much easier to make the connection to the pedal and whistle using a rod rather than cable.

Still for sale.

Sent you an email Dusty, thanks!

SOLD Thank you MTFCA

Take note of the original bridge washer pictured above. The reproductions don't have the ridge seal stamped in.

I have looked at many things on my 1921 coupe that make me think that it was a solid original car with not a lot of use when it was restored in the mid 1980's. It was carefully stored in 1987, and saw light of day next in November of 2018.
One thing I wonder about is the upholstery on the seats and the window straps. Headliner, door cards, etc...

That is tomorrow and Sunday. Be there.

Lower price for all 5 carbs

When I bought it in 2010, the New Mexico title said 1923. My friend Vaughn had the same comments as you - looks like a ‘24! Thanks for the comments. I’m ready to sell it. Cheers!

Nothing like a speedster rally. Looks like great country to tour.

The rolled side felloe also has a depression in the rolled edge to accommodate the lug foot on a Hayes rim. Hayes felloes have that depression, and will take Hayes rims and other fixed lug rims. A Hayes rim will not fit if there is no depression.

Hi Tim,
Had someone with this issue on a tour once, took two to three feet of Teflon tape, hold it between your thumb & index fingers and spin it
into a string, fold it over & spin it again. Turn the gas off, take the bowl nut loose & wrap the Teflon string around the stem between the bowl
& nut in the direction that it tightens in & snug up the...

Just to clarify...it is desired that the WTB '21 or earlier Coupe have a later engine and trans. My friend avoids cranking because of physical limitations. He likes the suicide doors, body type and low hood design.

Outboard is the standard fitment. The large holes in the frame are there to facilitate the removal of the shelves without having to dis-assemble the hood hooks and springs from the shelves. Who knows what the speedster builders were thinking.

Great seller! Has good communication and willing to work with you.
Thanks for giving me your time

Very illuminating. Thanks, John!

Note at the mounting end of the bracket, the shaft comes to a rather distinct point.

If the eye width is in the neighborhood they can be naturally lowered for a speedster. What's the height & eye to eye length?

That's good Keith, because it can be a begger to fix.

Horn has found a new home - thanks MTFCA !

For the gasket I bought a sheet of cork material from the local tractor store. I traced the valve cover and cut the material to fit. Still working on the engine rebuild, so I haven't run it yet.

FWIW, my valve cover, valve chest cover and intake block off plate are the reproduction aluminum parts. They were true rough castings (rough and warped)....

Thanks!

I just cancelled a room at the Baymount by Wyndam if you're looking for a room. 6/11

I guess whoever's it is isn't a member of the forum. Even so, it is very pretty.

The speedster that I have takes the same exact Bosch 14mm plugs that you use. If you go on ebay and look there are normally deals for a box of 10 for usually $19.99. I consider that a screaming deal. If you don't see any send me a PM and I'd be glad to get ya some of my stock. Anything to help in this hobby.

Joe:
I have a rebuilt starter that I would like to sell. It was rebuilt a few years back and never installed. I want $200.00 plus the shipping cost.

If they are concerned about lights being too bright at least in Oregon then they need to do something with the strobe lights on police cars especially the blue light, at night they are dangerously bright.

I'm away on a short trip, back on Monday.

I have a few pairs to choose from. I sent you a message. Thanks

PM sent on spark plugs.

I'll take it

Take a look at these fenders. They are solid. I would like to see someone use these. Thanks
