I understand that difference, now that you mention it, but do the early and later perches connect to the Springs, in the same way? Steven Lang told me that he didn't think that many are still using the early perches and he really didn't know if anyone was manufacturing them, anymore.

I find Spring Perches in the Lang's Catalog, left and right, for Model T, 1919-1927, but nothing for 1909-1912 (or maybe 1919). Is a spring perch the same for all years of Model T?

Thanks gz !!!

I don't want to simply buy a car and drive it, but I would like the challenge of building a car and being able to say that I did.

Looking for front and rear wheel hubs in reasonably good condition, or restorable. I needctgw type that are used with Wooden Spoked Wheels. The reproduced versions are pricey.

I guess when thinking about Hubs and Bearings and other key suspension parts, reproduced/new is the way to go. 100 year old parts only last so long, I guess.

Could I find a semi complete car, in need of restoration, for $1,000-$1,200?

The wheels were sold for $265, I think. I was shocked. I would have supported the $100-$150 per wheel theory.

Did Model Ts have some sort of Vehicle Identification Number?

Ok. That's definitely an advantage.

I understand that early Model Ts had front Spring Perches with two eyelets; one for the leaf spring and the other to attach the Radius Rods "over the Axle, but after 1919 the Radius Rods were attached under the front axle. What is the advantage, either way?

I'm gonna need a Small Drum Rear Axle Assembly incl Driveshaft, Radius Rods and U Joint. -Tim folksinger1964@gmail.com (734) 286-2689

I would like to find a left and right set of spring perches. Someone mention the 1919 style, with under frame wishbones. -Tim folksinger1964@gmail.com (734) 286-2689

The Front Axle arrived yesterday. There is a from that I have to pickup, near Cincinnati Ohio and a Front Leaf Spring that I have my eye on. I've seen Spring Perches with oil fillers and some without. Ive seen some Spring Perches that have two eyelets. I notice that the Front Radius Rods...

Would someone suggest a book that would give me good pictures and diagrams to follow in my Model T build. I do have a book, that was supposedly written in 1922, as The Complete Ford Model T Guide. I have copy that was reproduced in 2020, by Victor Page. There are some really good pictures, in...
