After finally getting the engine to run in a friend's newly-purchased '26 T, it was noted that the ammeter did not register a charge even when the engine was revved up.

Thank You Marshall for sharing your generator story.

I was there about 10 years ago and it was also Ron that walked me through the problems, mostly by mail. (Phone from Belgium to the USA is possible but not easy time differences)

For Sale is a set of mounted Kevlar Band Linings with metal bands. This style was available 30-40 years ago and were mounted on accessory metal bands. $85.00 plus shipping. Lang’s 1-800-872-7871

Last post

Those look like Custom Friction Company bands. They could be mounted on any standard metal band. The trick was not to go drilling too deep on the Kevlar and getting through to the cotton backing. They worked well for me.

Its an early alarm. There are contacts inside that come together and make contact if the car is shaken or moved. Shake it back and forth or side to side and you should feel it moving inside.

to clarify George's point, the splash apron is sandwiched between the body brackets and the frame brackets. Just make sure the holes in the splash apron will line up with the holes in the frame brackets before you fit the body.

I'd say the wheel is unlocked if you can still drive/steer the car. In the locked position you are likely not able to turn the steering wheel.

FWIW- it's essentially a B Rajo without the cross over port- not a big deal since most folks don't use it anyway unless they happen to have an original Rajo Intake manifold with the hot air provision. The cross over port originated behind the #2 and #3 exhaust valves and exited on the intake side of the head between the two intake ports.

Here is a photo of an original NRS radiator tank on top and a new Brassworks radiator on bottom. As you can see the new radiator seam around the edge has a lip. The original has no seam and is flush with the surface. Did they manufacture radiators with the lip originally? Were they made both ways back in the day?

A few more. This is believed to be one of the first two or three Model N (three at the early 1906 auto shows, with only one running and demonstrating. This very early radiator looks similar to the Long-Turney rads pictured earlier.

Here’s a photo of what looks to me an early version of the so called 5th wheel. If it is was it a company made or was it available from a body maker. Learning something new about heavy TT Truck use.

I have one of those trailers in as found condition. It is a Fruehauf like the one at the Ford Museum. It is very heavy.

You can use E-10 as long as the vehicle is being used often. (Be sure it's fresh) For storage, E-0 is best.

First post

Do any of my fellow TT C Cab owners have any information on the strip that fills the gap between the cab and the windshield. From what I can see on the parts book, it is likely called a visor part #TT12350. I assume it’s leather but would like to know dimensions, attachment details, etc. Pictures would be great.

Last post

I figured since I was posting today, I’d revive this old post and show how my Visor turned out. My sister is a pretty good seamstress so helped with sewing up some of my excess top material which I finally got around to installing today. I’m happy with the results. IMG_0555.jpeg IMG_0556.jpeg

Looks like the cars were parked pretty well and tight. Is that some sort of track around it?

It's good to see the track is still there, and that the background is NOT covered over with development .

This is a nice pair of hard to find Firestone 30x3.5 demountable clincher rims. No heavy pitting, just some light surface rust. The clincher edges are in very nice shape. I wouldn’t be surprised if these have never been used.

$200 for the pair plus shipping in the U.S.

Thanks Layden. I have kept them rather tan scrapping them. They are heavier than T clincher rims and would make ideal donor rims for wood felloe wheels once the valve stem boss was removed.

What would normally have been used for the roof covering for a light delivery

Last post

Re-treating a treatment is not needed if the first treatment is not applied. Canvas wets, and then it dries. Damp canvas on Dacron sheeting is not a problem like using old time cotton waste sheeting. Even if it gets really wet through to the hessian/burlap, the cedar laths remain unaffected.
