Tricky at best. Using Match sticks works. I have a brand new broken goose neck hanging on the garage wall as a reminder. Good luck.

Figures - I’m out of the country for 10days. I live 2 hours south. I would like to buy a couple rims to practice spoke straightening. Think the ad said one day sale. That’s a lot of parts

Thanks guys. I have heard the pros and cons of using heat. I might purchase the tool MACs or SNYDERS Have. I have a deluxe coupe with six rims. Will get worst one and experiment. Thanks again.

Thanks Charlie. Have reached out to the local restoration club. Seems there was someone but as moved out of area. By the time I ship and pay invoice I could have cost of a new rim. Hope to hear more on this subject. Thanks again.

I searched for past forums and did not find anything. I’m starting to focus on my wheels and notice some spokes are slightly bent. Does anyone know who can straighten rims and true the spokes. I did see a video of a original rim straightening tool. Any help? Thanks.

Hello to all. It is with some bitter sweet emotions to say I sold my 1913 Touring T. Owned it for 8 years and had a blast wrenching on it and mostly driving around the back roads. I still have my ‘30 Model A and thought it was time for the T to go. The man who bought it is a genuine person and...

A sad day as I sold my 1913 Touring. Owned it for 8 years and had a million dollars of fun. Learned a lot while wrenching on it. The person who bought it was as nice and genuine as a man can get. He will continue to upgrade the car and was pleased with the condition I had kept the car. I still...

Hello. Is there information for repairing/restoring the rear light. Can the brass pieces be replaced. Thanks.

I use it when I have the heads off to keep the cylinder walls oiled and clean - I use it heavily during this maintenance time and never had it foul up my motors. Great stuff. You’ll be fine.

Yes JB WELD. I suggest taking the head off and seal all the water ports on the top of the block with tape ( blue paint tape works well ). Then connect a wet/dry vacuum to the water outlet on the block. Clean your crack area useing brake Kleen while vacuum is running. After that let the brake...

Thanks guys appreciate the feed back. Will go and look closer to the block and see what other cast infonthere might. Also it was at NO charge. (Not Know)

I acquired a model A engine and transmission at know charge. The serial number has been removed - seems it was machines off. What does this do to the value? I want to rebuild for the heck of it and if I wanted to sell - would no serial number be an issue? Thanks guys

I have a 13 touring I'll sell. Send me your info and I'll send you more info on the T. Thanks

THANKS I looked at the tester. Seems like that's what I need.
