My 27 touring has a crack / bend in the the lower section of the the front bow. Wondering is I should attempt to repair on the car?
I have a lathe so I could cut it off at the break and make a dowel to fit inside, then braze up the joint.
Anybody tried this repair?

Cab anyone with a hempy cooper line boring set up take some measurements and pictures of the cutters for me mine are missing

Hi everyone,
Just completed going through the entire Ruckstell in a ,26 Tudor that also has a Warford transmission. Having both I thought it a good idea to install the hydraulic disc brakes which I just finished today. Got everything put back together and started the engine to make sure the Warford shifted correctly which it did, however I could...

I recently inherited a good 17 engine sitting on a garbage late production chassis. I have been halfway looking for the bits to make make something usable out of this chassis but it needs everything.

I sold the Stevens Axle Tool and a person claiming to be me contacted the buyer. He wanted him to send him the money. He was calling from a 270-632-0562 number. I had several people interested so I don't know how he figured out who it was.

Hi everyone,
I just finished installing new axle shafts in a Ruckstell differential and I’m wondering if I did right to use anti seize on the tapers. Evidently there has been some debate on the matter. I also installed new hubs. Any thoughts appreciated!

I have two glass spare headlight reflectors. They are both the same diameter, but one is thicker and heavier than the other. Since the headlights are John Brown, I would assume the lighter one would be what was used. I'm not willing to remove the reflectors from either one of my '13s to find out!

How does one remove the front seat cushion ( back) on a 27 touring?
This one was recently re upholstered, looks like the covering is stapled in place, if so does this require pulling all the staples and then replacing them?

More stuff - make an offer ! The Hassler springs & cups are powder coated. One of the early oil caps appears to have been nickel plated ?

Does this date really mean anything for a Model T or is it only because it is used on aircraft?
Why does it expire? Looks like vaseline in a tube.
Thank you.

Hey there Model T friends. This is my first post in a good while. As most of you know already, I own a 1926 TT. I have not driven my truck all that much in the past few years and that it=s due to one central reason. Almost every spoke out of the 48 on the car is loose. This looseness causes the truck to walk all over the place when I'm driving and...

Does anyone know if there’s a difference between Canadian coil boxes and US coil boxes. I have a 1922 Canadian tourer… the coil box needs rebuilt. The wood isn’t the correct thickness and when the lid is on I short out coils….

I either want to buy a rebuild kit, or maybe someone has a nice rebuilt one ready to go for me?

Thanks for your help!...

I know the 2nd owner started a partial restoration on Daisy in the mid/late 60's after being stored since 1935.
Cleaning up the wood on her, while the firewall is original, the hood boards are replacements built by Syverson Cabinet, from their Des Plaines location they vacated mid 60's.
Just some continuing interesting archeology......

My mom likes hummingbirds and needed a lamp so I made her one. My girlfriend immediately asked me,”how many Model T parts did you use for that”?
She knows me too well and the answer is, a cut off transmission shaft flange, Holley G mixing chamber cover and one Model A brake drum.
