Dan, it is known both as FSS and HSS, Flat/Horizontal Surface Syndrome, the inability to leave a clear, flat surface unencumbered :lol: I have fought it for the better part of 91 years, don't ask me how it's...

I knew we were doomed when schools couldn’t allow metal lunch boxes anymore.

They still had the sticks at walmart monday when i was there

Thanks for the kind words guys !
I lost my dog too few years ago and Dewey is the new one. Just about 2.5 years now and 95lbs ! Nothing I’ve ever dealt with compares to losing my wife, especially at 61.
Steve, I followed your saga a bit, terrible what happened to you and your T. Glad you’re back and able to move around.
I still have my 24 and took...

Fans with cracks or loose rivets are an extreme health hazard. They can be hard on hoods and radiators, too. A fan that is bent or out of balance can be very hard on the bearing, besides wasting power.

Somehow my old phone number has survived all the adventures since my wreck. You can reach me when I remember to have the phone with me. :)

Use any solvent for oil-based residue in an axle tube or d.s. tube (kerosene, paint thinner, Stoddard solvent, etc.). Put a couple of gallons in a pail. Attach a toilet brush to a long handle. Scrub out the gunk.

If you're successful, please post your result, would love to see it. Maybe something you could reproduce & sell.

Going to Rich! Thanks Rich!

No welder? Use rotary carbide rasp to cut into the race, tap with hammer to loosen race. If no success use a bigger hammer.

Tom I never got the photos of the Edison spark plugs

Sold thanks for looking

Just twirl the knob to wind it. Pull it down to set the time. I have one just like it.

I have an air maze on my Model A.
Living on the Emerald Coast, with fine white sand, anytime the wind is blowing you can see the sand blowing in the air.

Good news, I picked up a hood and stainless steel tank from a fellow in Vermont. The hood will require a bit of tin knocking to fit, and one minor hinge weld, but should prove satisfactory.

This is 2025! A very poor way to auction some very rare parts. There should be internet bidding with very clear pictures of each lot. Aumann would have done a much better job for the seller. I won’t be driving up north in late November

Wow. I just hope no one was IN that poor car at the time...but they may very well been executing someone that way!

Now thats exhibiting discipline- to not sit on the hood. :roll:

Nice work Brent.

Still available. Pending sale

Another beautiful carb Kim. I swear I still don't know how you've acquired so many rare pieces in such remarkable condition!
I spoke with Steve at Langs and he recently acquired a pot metal 1910 Holley like yours but needs a new bowl.
That's not gonna be easy to replace.

I found out the problem wasn't my latch, after all. The problem was a rusted, broken spring inside the outside door handle escutcheon. Lucky, I had an extra outside door handle with no plating and was basically, junk. I removed the spring from it and now all I have to do is reassemble on my good plated handle's shaft and crimp the retainer in...

Shorpy.com has a lot of antique car and truck pics in high definition including crash scenes. Early cars did not hold up well in serious crashes.
A driver's education textbook called Youth At the Wheel came out around 1934. I came across a copy in the library when I was in the 4th grade. Hair-raising stuff!

While you are up there working, verify the retainers and the pins on the rim are in good shape.
If these fail, the lens does not bounce well off the pavement, I have had it happen.
The brass ones (and nickel plated brass) ones are particularly suspectable to this.

While the rear cap is self-evident, the center cap is just a bit wider than the front. The front pretty much covers the saddle; the center one does not fully cover the saddle. As said, the rear cap carries the full thrust by itself no thrust is poured in the block, some do add it there too but the block has to be cut back to add.

Believe .... nope, definitely later boot scraper.
Distinguished by having the curved boot scraper lip (early style was simply cut straight/no raised edge), and, the boot scraper style was also longer than the early style.

One nice thing is that we have tag and license vendors who contract with dmv (PENNDOT), which makes the registration process convenient in terms of travel time, location, etc. Follow the guidelines noted and you shouldn't have an issue. Importantly, you are NOT required to bring your vehicle in for inspection and vin number verification, nor have...

I do not sell kits nor individual parts any more. The parts shown above were an effort to supply the need for replacement parts after Stan Howe died. As it turns out, there was no demand for parts and therefor, no need to continue production of those parts. I now only make parts to satisfy my needs on my own personal carb collection.

Sometimes I...

i have poured several hundred ball caps ( 4th main) ... i have noticed 4 common variations ... no oil hole , 1 oil hole ( some of which had Ford embossed on spherical section ) , 2 oil holes and 4 oil holes ... the only ones with Ford embossed were the 1 oil hole ... possibly genuine Ford replacements for dealer use?gene french

Thanks for the pictures and the related information.

I have a list that Trent found for me that gives all the parts required to install a factory pickup bed on a car. I wish I could put my hands on it!

Assuming an OLD engine and assuming that you did NOT plane the block nor head, then maybe the best is a steel gasket with a copper coating.

Thank you everyone. Thank you Mr. Treace for the literature. I found very minimal information with the brief research I have done on these spark plugs. Frankly, very little information on any Sterling spark plugs for that matter. I do not plan on using them right now, they are a neat piece and I would like to find some way to display them, along...

The V bends are made using heat. It's a very poor practice for several reasons. As previously mentioned, if the bend involves 2 or more leaves, it will jam the leaves and prevent them sliding on one another, which they must do for the spring to flex. Another issue is the right angle or near right angle bend in the leaf or leaves. You will NEVER...

Michael,

You have a sample to copy so take a newer version one and make one.
Cut out a metal disk and weld it on, shape to fit.
Make sure to add material below the headlight socket to make it earlier if necessary.

While you are doing it take pictures and post it.
Don't be like me and just build it without documenting it.
Mike

Just updating this thread in case someone is reading this post in the future.

Once I got the hood former and firewall out of my 1915 touring, I had enough room to get a drill in vertically to drill out the two back holes on the block. I made a 1 1/2 thick guide block out of hardwood scraps (old hardwood flooring) and used it to keep the drill...

Thomas, I mistakenly understood from somewhere on the Forum that the Model A upper windshield snaps would work as a substitute for the receptacles with the collar for side curtains, so I ordered 6 to replace the ones on my car, but no dice. The inside diameter is about 0.75mm too small for the fastener to fit into, and of course, the base is too...
