Re: Gaslight Auto parts

Except for maybe Mac's, not aware of any T parts supplier that does not speak "American" English here in the USA when you call them. ;) Glad you got good service from a maybe little used parts supplier. If you go to MTFCA home page, there are a lot of other suppliers then the big 2 or 3. That's why ...

Re: NH and Hot Tire?

The NH, Ford, Simmons, NH vaporizer, Western Auto should all use the same float valve. Should not matter if ball or needle type. I think at this point you need to add some photos of what you are working with. The Holly G and Kingston used different sized float valve housings/needles, with different ...

Re: NH and Hot Tire?

Not sure why they would ask to specify, the needle and seats should be the same, Langs only shows one. RE not seating far enough down, make sure the old gasket(s) have been removed. They can stick up a little.
Your carb does have an NH tag on it?

Re: Spark and Throttle Control Levers

I would suggest getting the issue with the steering column sorted first, then go to the radiator/hood. The 1/4" being short of entering the hole, would maybe need to be doubled or more in relation to how far off it is. Besides the body maybe being too far back, the wood mounting blocks might come in...

Re: Hassler Mounting bolt availability

Then there are us guys with the rare Hasslers on our early Dodge Brothers. :) I don't know if these came with grease cup attached or not, they are the later round id plate and may have had the bolts replaced at some point with shackle bolts.

Re: AC brakes

Maybe back in the old days, hooking up the outside brakes *as parking brakes* might have been a "thing" (ya I know there are some that still want to promote it being done). I would never even entertain the thought of doing it that way. Got enough to do driving a T to need reaching down to grab the p...

Re: Close Call.....Almost Done In

Pretty much agree with what is being said, but take a look at some of the auto safety films from the 50's and 60's. There were some pretty crap drivers back then too! There are more drivers on the road and too many think they are the only ones that count. Not enough traffic cops to put the fear into...

Re: starter switch in a 1912

I just installed a starter switch in a 1912 roadster with reproduction body. I mounted the switch in the same location as the later cars but used a bolt on style and mounted from underneath the wood heel board. Didn't need the extension and does not stick out like a sore thumb.

Re: for sale

Might work in your favor to put what you are selling in the title instead of relying on everyone opening the add to find out. Use the pencil thing and add that information to the title.
