Update on wobble, use of my T’s

Post by Bobbbenner » Wed Sep 14, 2022 10:56 am

A month or so I inquired about a wobble that developed on my ‘new’ 22 touring. I got lots of great fixes and went with refurbish everything in the front end. Tom Pilz, my friend and mentor did ninety percent of the work and we put all new parts,(bushings etc.), graphited the springs, turned around the perches, (they were switched at some time in the past), greased, oiled and just last night finished with the toe in. The car is running true now and much safer as I’ve begun to put some mileage on it. No wobble!

Last night we also installed the last of the Berg radiators. I ordered it way back when and received it about a month ago but was slowly working on the front end. It was installed, then Tom and I took a night ride around the farm. The roads and pathways that we have are about the closest thing to the roads early T’s had back when, was a fun ride and the hoses did not leak!

Here are a couple of pictures of the car decked out for a wedding, and the TT that was used this Sunday at our Fiddle and Folk Fest for our open mic. The person who runs that part of the fest says that we get more sign ups because of the truck stage!

Lastly, does anyone have plans for the top boot on a 22 touring? Rather not start from scratch. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I’ve got a shoemakers sewing machine and a heavy duty machine and material that will work, I believe.

Thanks to the forum for insight, humor, tales, pictures and more.

No wobble :-) That will give a much more enjoyable driving experience, and well worth the work done.

Great looking cars,
Cheers, Adrian
