Want to buy rear seat spring for a 21 touring. The space available for the spring is 41 by 18 inches but the spring needs to be smaller after the upholstery is added.

When you put the ratchet straps on the front and rear Axle, be sure to jack up the front axle a little bit to take pressure off of the wheels and not have the ball go sideways. That’s how I did it. Frank

Check to see if the pin in the universal joint is in place or maybe slipped partially out and rubbing on the housing as the driveshaft turns. I had a similar problem long ago but never could find out what it was. Took everything apart, tightened everything and still had the toc toc toc unsolved. Frank

Converting to a starter hogshead is nice if you are getting up in aches and pains of a well used old body. You can still crank if you wish but you do have the option of just stepping on the starter switch when you have those days where age creeps up on you. Just my opinion. Frank

How much is a running model T motor worth.
I was thinking to buy a running motor to put in my 12 so I can go more freely on tours. It is just as expensive to rebuild an older motor than a newer, 19 to 27, but I would like to save the 12 motor as is. What ideas you have. Frank
