Hi I have a 1926 model T. The handle on the fuel valve coming off the tank broke. Is there something else I could use as a replacement handle. This is the shut on and off for the fuel. Thanks Jerry

Thanks for the words of wisdom. I know my Ford is kind of 26ish. So I joined this site to get info on the model t part of my car. Better to ask a lot of questions then just assume.don’t worry I ask a lot of questions and listen to peoples take on things. Like I said my car is fordish. Plus...

On my 26 model t the front drum brake line goes through the frame. The hole it goes thru is to large for the hydraulic line. The hose I bought has a c clip used for to keep the line from moving. I was going to use the c clip to prevent the hose from going into the frame. Does anyone about this c...

I have a 1926 model t with a ford 9 inch rear end. The wheel cylinders went bad from sitting around for years. The wheel cylinders had part number bendix 30006. I researched bendix 30006 and found it’s off a 1967 Ford F-250. But the pins that push the shoes don’t fit in the new wheel cylinder...

Not familiar with Fords. But I assume its unbolting the brake backing plate and putting it =in the correct position. I kept looking at it this afternoon. Kept asking why did he do this? Im going to take another look at it tomorrow There has to be a reason why. thanks Jerry

On my 1926 model t I have a Ford 9 inch with dimples on the back. I have read this is a 1964 or so rear end. The t has been sitting for a long time. I have replaced all brake components except the rear wheel cylinders. Here's the part I have to ask questions. The owner before me put the drum...

Dang I just read your reply I saw the part about brake clean. I have a can I will spray down today. Thanks jerry

Thank you for the response on brake shoe cleaning. The shoes are not worn at all the 1926 has for years. I wiped off the brake fluid that got on the shoes it didn't seem to penetrate the shoes.Can I clean them off with brake cleaner? Thanks Jerry

I just got finished putting in new hydraulic hoses in my 1926. I bled the brakes and everything worked. Then I pushed on the pedal again and then I saw fluid coming out of the front drum brakes. I thought the bleeder screw or hose going to the wheel cylinder was loose. No such luck so I took the...

I am putting on new hydraulic brake hoses on my drum brakes. Is there a copper washer between the hydraulic hose and the wheel cylinder? I can’t remember and I thought better to ask. Thanks Jerry

I thought about it a lot. Then I crawled under it with a large can of pb blaster and sprayed like a maniac. Then I looked at the clip and thought let’s knock it out. Long story short I got the clip off and the steel brake lines came off. So now I needed to get brake hoses. I got fluid at the...

Thanks a bones. I’m going to try and see if I can air chisel it out. It’s just a push in clip. I was looking at it from the other way. I know my car is not stock. I will look at again and try to do right by the car. Thanks Jerry

Hi I have finally put the correct master cylinder on. But I have another problem. The rubber hose that goes to the drum brakes are clogged from years of neglect. But the hard lines to this are in a bad spot. I have to take out the radiator and grill. But I can bend the hard lines just enough and...

Ok I took wheel cylinder out of drum brakes. I had a little fluid coming out the hydraulic line. So I started cleaning out stuff. I took bleeder screw and blew it out with air. Next I have fluid to rubber hose so I took a thin wire and tried pushing it thru the rubber hose. After all this I...

Re: I found this and couldn’t figure it out I am going to check to see if I can just unbolt the backing plate and reverse everything. Short answer is first get brakes working and see how back brakes work. If doesn’t work well then see if I can flip everything. Thanks Jerry
