Have an original firewall bracket for pass. Side. 30.00 plus shipping. ctleonard64@gmail.com 17476797024964535630028639782110.jpg 17476797273017096173120909720160.jpg

I believe that is a driver's side. Those mount to the front of the firewall, flat side back onto the firewall. They offset inwards from the frame. They have to! If they offset out from the frame? The hood hooks could NOT be mounted in the frame, they would have to be about an inch outside the frame.
Unless I am seeing it backwards in my head?

The cotton linings look a lot like cotton web you can buy by the roll off Amazon, can I use cotton web that's the right width and length of course? (I need to just replace my low band)

Last post

Thanks everyone, those are all valid points, I'm going to see if I can track down a single nos band. Would be nice if someone manufactured new cotton linings because nos would run out one day. Anyways is anyone per chance selling a band?

First post

Hello,

I have a '26 touring where the steering wheel has a good two-inches of play. All connections from the pitman down are good. I suspect the play is in the steering box.

Assuming my suspicions are correct, can the problem be solved by replacing the pins, gears, and pinion?

Also, can this work be accomplished with the steering column...

Last post

Unscrew the cover, take out the three planet gears, turn them over and reinstall them on their pins.

Worked for me, reduced the play quite a bit!

The a-oogha sound is still associated with Model Ts by many, as is the rumble seat. As far as I know, no T was ever factory equipped with either. The electric Klaxon was probably not compatible with pre-1919 Ts with magneto only AC power.

Hi all, I hoping for some history on the aftermarket gas tank suppliers.

Not available? Who has the patterns for inlet and outlet castings? Was the business offered for sale?

I plan on making one for my 09 . The sheet metal forming doesn't look that difficult. I'd prefer not to rob my original tank parts for the project.

Anyone else needing...

Your 1909 round tank with riveted brackets likely hard to replicate. Don't know if this builder of the later round tanks and oval tanks could help.

The inlet and outlet maybe could be used as the later types used, but may not be exact as the original. You could call the builder and ask, he may help if you supply the original tank as pattern....

I just noticed that my two T's have different connections at the draglink/pitman arm connection.
Which is correct? Bolts and safety wire, or nut and lock washer?

As posted, use bolts, castle nuts and cotter nut to bolt end. The bolts pass into the cap but will thread into the drag link. The nut and cotter keeps bolts in place.

….Can’t call them a “set” because Jno Brown 110 on left has a Steel chimney top. Right lamp is brass chimney top. I’d buy a mate for the steel top lamp. Wonder why Brown offered the steel top ? 1914 TT ? :lol:
