I thought I would post this here as well as in the main forum.

As many of you know, I repair meters for HCCTs (Hand Crank Coil Testers). What I do is a very small niche of the Model T hobby. I got into this because the person that was doing it many years ago passed. There was quite a gap until I was convinced (actually conned) to take up the...

OK everyone, I’m looking for something a bit out of the ordinary. I’m looking for someone, preferably on the west coast (southern half of California) who is very knowledgeable about early T’s (preferably has worked/restored one or more) who would consider taking on the task of putting one together.

When I say early this is a 2 lever 2 pedal...

Do you have to constantly fiddle with the ignition coils to keep your Model T car running properly? I can assure you this is not normal operation for a Model T Ford. Unreliable engine performance, hard starting and poor idling are commonly caused by poorly operating or adjusted ignition coils.
Over the last 35 years I have rebuilt over 26,000...

Im looking for a company in Ohio that rebuilds magneto coils. Does anyone know who they are?

I need to know if anyone knows of a company who can do a short run of special Model T dust pan to frame bolts. These were used on the early cars in the teens. The part number is 3088, and is 1/4-28 X 9/16. The head and nut are 3/8 square, and there is a cotterpin hole at the bottom. I don't believe anyone is reproducing this part.

I sold Tim a starter and he filmed a little video of how it arrived and all the surprises I include for free!
