I am looking to buy a machined hub for my 15 T so that I use the speedometer that came on the car, and the car has unknown wire wheels. Attached are the pictures of the hub I need. Thanks much!

I've been thinking, and that can be dangerous. Is it possible to use a 6v coil and capacitor per cylinder and use a comutator to collapse the circuit to fire the secondary winding? Just ruminating, i know having original coils rebuilt would be better for authenticity, but I am currently running a distributor...so.

Hello,
My 26 touring has been losing juice intermittently from the magneto. Sometimes it runs great on the mag and sometimes there is nothing. I am planning on taking the contact out and cleaning it well tomorrow. I reckon that I will also check the wire for any bare spots while I am at it. Just wanted to see if I should be looking at anything...

Current status: Shifter broke where someone had previously welded the casting down where it attaches to the transmission. Easy enough fix, just need to order a new shifter.

In the meantime, the axle is in low and we've been graced with a few sunny days following more arctic-like weather. I'd like to drive the car and not be in low axle gear all...

As a long-time participant of the forum, i have observed a lot of confusion within many Ruckstell discussions on the forum. I believe the confusion comes from so many different terms (or words) to explain the two driveline ratios (or positions) of the Ruckstell; some say low-Ruckstell and high-Ruckstell , or underdrive and overdrive etc, etc,......

My '14 T has a very minor fuel tank leak in the area where the sediment bowl screws in and I'm going to attempt a soldering repair. I have a large electric soldering iron, and the tank is not rusty inside or out, so should I be concerned about a big bang ??? Not going anywhere near it with an open flame, just the soldering iron, solder and flux...

Okay fellow T'ers....for my next act to follow up the custom-made round brushes, I'd I have found a local source to make the rotor (CNC) for me. However, to get the best price he is suggesting a quantity of 20, which would run something like $36.50 which isn't too bad, compared to $170 for just ONE! So I'm putting it out there to see if anyone may...

This is a nice video by Hagerty and the Barnfind hunter of a visit to the THF depot in the basement Lots of very interesting but non T cars (in fact not a single T is mentioned)
BUT nice shots of the 6cyl racer at 8:00 and the Frank Kulick Big T racer at 12:00
Not many of us will ever be able to have a look around there, Enjoy !

I was wondering if anyone has any kind of instructions or directions to dismantle, clean and test
the S4BF. I have cleaned the outside and inside the float but was wondering what I would run into
if I started to take it apart and clean the inside. Also, is there a way to test it after to see if fuel is
getting through it.

Is anyone running an original Stewart tachometer?
If so where are you driving it from?
Are they a 1 to 1 drive?
I was considering driving mine from the fan belt with a pulley
the same diameter as the crank pulley. It would be positioned about
where a a water pomp pulley would be located.
I need to look at some old water pumps to see if they...

Last spring when I started working on my T the first thing I did was to remove the top because of rotted out tack rail & front bow. Now I am wanting to put same top back on as it is in good shape yet & I don’t see any reason to replace it. Has anyone done this before, & if you have, I would appreciate any thoughts of it can be done with good...

I have always had trouble soldering, making a rough, lumpy mess of it, if I can get it to stick at all. Maybe I am not the only one. Can we have a discussion by folks who have mastered this art, on the types of solder, what sticks to what types of metal and how to successfully solder with soldering guns, soldering irons, flux and resin core...

Looking to purchase several early foot switches (photo below) that have 2 screws holding the plunger to the base plate for a rebuilding project. Will also consider the later type with the fold-over tabs IF they've not already been bent over before - quite easy to recognize. Please contact me through the Forum unless you have my email.

The firewall that came with my stripped chassis is a reproduction and I am looking to buy an original firewall. I have no idea what these 2 holes are for on the passenger side. Can anyone tell me? 1925 Roadster.

Motor seems to be missing and running rough. Number 1 and 2 plugs are carboned up with a little clean spot on tip of spark plug. Numbers 3 and 4 are super clean.
Is it a timer problem or coils or something else?
no trouble starting the car. Just does not sound correct.

There were no white tires available when I was restoring my 1914 Touring in 2020-2021 so I put black tires on it. When I saw the recent posting by Model T Ron it reminded me how much I like white tires even though they will not last as long as the black tires. I have heard all kinds of numbers, but I don't know if there is any real data on this...

I suppose it's a moot point now that cotton linings of any quality are unavailable generally, but I wonder how many who felt they performed poorly followed the directions in the Ford bible suggesting to soak them in neatsfoot oil overnight before installing ?
