#2. split bushing isnt normal.

#3. King pins available now & in the past vary in size.

Checking my stock of new.
New ground ones measure .500 . Several are .002 under. Some are .007 under. WHY?
.500 would work great for slightly worn bushings. Or ream .500 & recut with an adjustable reamer.
.002 are perfect for .500 reamer.
.007 under might work...

Thanks Frank !

MTFCI has nice heavy radiator plaques.

do an internet search, and you'll find what thread count is depending on jar lid diameter: Knuckle Thread DIN 168
or, search for anything to do with 400 type threads relating to bottles or cans.

the reproduction lid shown on the eBay ad is nothing more than a standard glass-jar lid with BOYCO stamped into it.

Thanks to everyone who responded, anyone interested in it?

Cleaning, stripping rust & old paint, and repainting all the various small chassis/body parts.
Now I'm eyeballing my firewall, an original in solid condition, but finish worn down to bare wood in spots. Thinking I'll try repairing, bleaching, cleaning, prepping, lightly sand and refinish vs buying a new one. I vacillated back & forth with leaving...

have spoken with several regional hobbyist here in northern Colorado and also Wyoming there is a lot of interest in locating parts for their projects and way too many questions of what will sell ... my answer is i don't know ... BUT , you might try listing what items you have for sale and what items you want to buy ...this meet is approx. 750 mile...

#2 demonstrates that with correct pulling, a kickback is harmless. I broke a wrist by cranking a tractor the stupid way, and that was a serious reminder that correct cranking matters.

Good morning Mike, if you would wish to discuss the top bow clamps you can text me. My number is 419-217-8884.

There is a reason that a lip seal was invented and used ever since, with all of the effort that it takes to replace that seal why not use the best seal that you can get?

There are advantages & disadvantages to the rope & modern seal.

The modern seal is very narrow. The crank seal surface must be great. If you remove the timing cover in the...

reduced price

Sorry changed my mind. I see that the driver side one has a bit removed at the top. Sorry to bother you.

Built a '15 speedster years ago and wrapped the Fordite wheel with overlaps of friction tape, then applied coat of clear spar varnish. Looked good and felt like a race car in my hands. :D

Pic is a scan and blurry......

Great news! Thanks all for getting things worked out. We all appreciate the effort.

Ok, last one before bed.

The transmission had a fair bit of oil leaking on it from where oil leaked past the shift fork rails since they exit the housing in two places each. The paint seemed to hold up to the oil well in some places but other places the paint peeled away in sheets (primer and all). I think that the iron casting is rather porous...

High cowl car

And I’ll go further: No Centerdoor plans because nobody has either disassembled one or had access to one to make plans.

Thanks for your interest.
I'll have to look, there may be (2) front wishbones. If there's a spare, i'll send you a note.

The folks who built this T Touring actual had more money in the parts, exhaust system, engine and the rest of the drive train than what this poor original T Touring was worth in its original as found condition. If you’ve got the money anything goes. I guess??
It’s just danged ugly.

I came across picture #7 a few years back, caption states crating for overseas shipping.

I just talked to him tonight and in spite of getting sick a few weeks after Hershey he is very much alive and doing ok.
His phone number still works.
Leave him a voice, text, or email message and he will get back to you.

Just went to Steve at Lang’s and ordered the complete set. Steve’s never let me down yet. When I went to checkout I grabbed my credit card and it was still smoldering from my last order.

110 degrees predicted here today, higher tomorrow! I'm going nowhere.

The RHD car is a Duncan and Fraser built car. Typical features are the crowned mudguards, curved cowl and brass cowl vents, one piece frameless windscreen and cast brass windscreen pillars Side lights put it at 1913-14.

What is a TW timer?

The TW timer is a recent (this century?) version of a carbon brush T timer, as seen here:

It is my understanding that they went out of production, but various folks are still making the brushes available, the brushes being the only real consumable in the timer.

Depending on the size of the square part, wonder if you could use one of the shortened Model A pitman arms?

The above picture of the transmission shows it is an up to 1925 block and transmission and band, not 1926-27.
It is a matched set and goes together.
The magneto ring coil could really use to be rewrapped but that will open up a barrel of snakes for you.

Serial numbers and engines got swapped around as these vehicles passed through their service...

If you have one, a lost wax casting may be the answer.

Allan from down under.

Forget the short straight edge. A taut string line will give a better over-all indication of any sag in the frame. Takes only a few minutes to do, and can be quite revealing! There is no better time to make corrections than when the frame is bare.

Allan from down under.

Thanks! I was hoping someone would have an idea

That's a lot of parts.

I did it- I posted two pictures of the Bennett brake parts I need. Only took all afternoon to figure it out!

Allan is correct although the photo doesn't show it very well. The felloe on the left is loose lug but when I bought the car there was a fixed-lug rim mounted to the wheel. No two wheels were alike on my car when I bought it so I've spent some time acquiring felloes that match. Even so, I have a pair of Hayes on the front and Ford's on the back....

Snyder's does BUT you have to purchase the complete sediment bulb !

Strange.Never saw that before. How about a photo of the front and back of your cap....I'm curious if you have an original or a repop. If the latter, there are good ones and bad ones and it is important to know the difference.

An original cap is brown and there is a small square hole in each of the contacts (see photo) - anything else is a...

I'd bet that very few people actually did all of that.

Cal Stewart recorded this as if he was informing friends about his new car. It’s interspersed with his laughs. Several artists after Cal Stewart recorded the story but I believe the original is the best.

I access the recording via archive.org.

Ok, I will take it and give you a call tomorrow morning,

That wishbone that takes normal nuts is the very first version of under-the-axle-wishbone . If you own a '22 then it migrated there from an earlier car some time in the past.

Thanks Scott! That's the answer I was looking for. I already have a tapered wishbone on and I will save this and not modify it.

What makes you think it is a 22?...

Chris, I am wondering if the difference between your '24 and '26 on the spring cup clearance is from the different width brake drum and push ring?

Price decrease

New spokes are too easy to install for you to waste valuable time and effort trying to restore spokes that are too far gone and dangerous…

Price decrease

Going to Bill.

Sent you a note, George.
