I have one of his sets for the 30 one-piece running board. It was $295 plus shipping about 4 years ago and he said he would probably not make any more of this style. I would sell my set for $250 and pay the shipping if you are interested. I no longer have the 1930, got myself a 31. The set...

Maybe I am dense, but how do you spray a light oil into the unit when it is operating?

I have a chrome Trico vacuum windshield wiper in my 31 Victoria. Is there general maintenance that a person should do with these vacuum wipers? In other words, lubrication, cleaning, all that sort of thing.

This is my first time selling, so not sure I can intelligently answer that question. However, I have bought some good stuff there, like a NOS wishbone, restored door handles, things like that. Good used seems to sell. Common core parts probably not so much, unless they are more "uncommon"...

I was going to take a load of Model A parts today but am switching to going tomorrow since the weather reports called for thunderstorms. Of course, this morning it is clearing up with the sun poking through the clouds. Tomorrow is supposed to be beautiful. So to answer your question, yes, I...

I happen to have a 7-8 yard roll of Bedford Cord brown if that happens to be what you are looking for. My guess is you are looking for the tan.

I am looking for an "intake manifold extension" to lower a carb that has been adapted to run on a model T. This car belongs to a widow that asked me to help get it running better. Seems it backfires and pops going uphill. I drove it and found this is true, and I attribute it to fuel...

Thanks, great to hear that they are still at it. And thanks for the current contact information. I was worried that they folded up the tent. Have seen too much of that lately. The Model A (and Model T) hobby is so very fortunate to have suppliers like Stipe's!

What is the latest on Stipe's? Are they still operating? I tried their website and it looks dead. I talked to them about 8 months ago about a set of shocks and some camshafts which they said would be produced by now, and that they would call me. No calls so far. Anybody know?

What's up with the "other" Model T website, the MTFCA.com site? Looks like it has crashed.

Help me out here to learn something. What do you mean by "notching" the tire? I have always had demountable rims on later cars, but just got a 1912 Roadster so I am learning the finer points of owning one of the older model cars. And, I will be mounting tires when I get my rebuilt wheels back...

Goodcar you mention an important item: the braided ground cable. I worked on a car recently that we were scratching our heads on why it wouldn't turn over, let alone start. Finally replaced the braided cable and it fired right up. Apparently the strands in a braded cable oxide and built up...

With all that is going on with the "supply chain," I have come to realize just how good we had it before the pandemic. Can't get the cam I want, can't get the lifters I want, not to mention A+L parts isn't back up to production. Moral to the story, if you find a quality part that you believe...

Anyone have any information on when Goodyear 19" tires will be available? Various vendors I have talked to respond with "supposed to have been May" and "I don't know." I guess if the vendors don't know probably no one else does either. Just askin'

Glad to hear it. Hopefully A+L is ramping production back up on all of their outstanding products.
