WTB: Original Valve Retainers and Pins

Post by fireheadman » Wed Feb 18, 2026 4:42 pm

Hoping someone might have a set of 8 original valve retainers and pins for a model-T.
My engine is a 1926.

Ping me if you would like to sell them.

Just a 20 year old who listens to 40 year old music, works on 75 year old airplanes and drives 100 year old cars.
The past is only simple because hindsight is 20/20.

Try calling Steve at Lang's or the good folks at Chaffin's garage. They both have used parts galore and if they are pulling down an engine now or in the near future I'm sure one of them will be glad to accommodate you.

Spoke with Steve yesterday on this. Will give Chaffins a call.

Steve mentioned there was an issue years ago with quality but have not seen/heard of it in the last 800+ sets they have sold last year. It’s a good back up, just trying my luck for original for a week
