Hello everyone,
I'm trying to find a picture of the perch nut end of a wishbone that uses the tapered nuts. Back story... I still have a death wobble at 20mph after changing king pins, king pin bushings , perch bushings and shackles, steering bushing, tie rod bushings, wishbone cap, pitman arm and tie rod ball end. Everything is nice and tight but...

Model TT, probably 1924, stake-bed, C-cab
Rear wheels are solid rubber, rim is steel. The wood felloes have some dry rot. Can they be replaced when the tire is solid rubber? Spokes too?

 
Here is a link to a short video for a unique method of handling and
shipping a HCCT (Hand Crank Coil Tester).

It was designed by Mark Gember.

I found sn original T screwdriver in a second hsnd tool store recently. It has been well hammered on the handle end and the handle is a bit short as a result but it is still recognisable, so into my 1912 van tool roll it goes. That liberates the one I fitted with a new handle made to the Ford print.

the brands to be discarded. I called around for Autolite 3095 and no one had any

available after those are gone. Just Champion X or do some of you use something
else?

Do you have to constantly fiddle with the ignition coils to keep your Model T car running properly? I can assure you this is not normal operation for a Model T Ford. Unreliable engine performance, hard starting and poor idling are commonly caused by poorly operating or adjusted ignition coils.

Hello.

I recently bought a fulton whistle over ebay. The whistle is working and in good shape, but the cutout is totally worn out and there's no sense in trying to restore it.

This is the last in this series, and is perhaps the most unique in overall design having a folded center support wall, vs. the traditional vertical. The six center holes are spade-shaped vs. oval or circular. The lugs are formed from semi circular designs rather than the previous curved step outs.

Henry Ford acquired A. Y. Malcomson and some smaller investors stock prior to 1907. As a result, he held a significant majority in the company named for him, and for all intents and purposes he was in control.

Here is what he wrote about the six cylinder v. the four cylinder motor at that time.
