My 24 Tudor had two left perches on it when I got it. I drove it for a year or two before someone noticed the problem and pointed it out to me. With the two left perches it had a noticable shimmy after going over speed humps. If you get a new perch it is a good idea to check it as some of the new on...

Here’s an interesting article on McIntosh Labs in New York. It’s not really T-related but they do still pot their transformers in tar like the Model T coils.

Re: Substituting for a part: Is there a metallurgist in the room?
Yes, a quality drill bit will be fine. I know someone here in Sydney who has had drill bits as retainer pins in his tourer for the last ten years/20,000 plus kilometers without any issues. He did this as he found the repro pins were to soft. I don't know if the current repro ones are better or the s...

That was a nice video.
I remember the one he made about his grandfather's T-powered buzz saw. That is also worth watching if you haven't seen it.

Adjustable Lifters/Pushrods
The suppliers have two types of adjustable lifters, self-locking for 2 wrench adjustment and lifters with locknuts which require 3 wrenches for adjusting.
What are the pros and cons? Are the ones with lock nuts less prone to coming loose?

Re: Another Ring and Pinion Gear Diagnosis Thread...
It looks like Hertzian fatigue/macropitting on the crownwheel.
The pinion looks like corrosion. Could it have been like that when you assembled the axle 20 years ago?
I would replace both.

Thanks for the advice guys.
I'll go with the 40T/12T combination on the Tudor and set aside the 39/13T gear set for another car.

Dan, thank you, that is a relief. I'll use these in the car.
I know Fairfield for their Torque Hubs. It's interesting that they made aftermarket Model T parts.
