Anyone know how to straighten a front wheel on a T? It appears that the rim is bent, as it shows approx 1/4" "wobble". Know of someone who does this type of repair? To check this, I mounted a spindle in my bench vise, put the wheel on and give 'er a spin. thankx for your help Skolzie

Thanks, tmodelman, I believe that Mark is the rebuilder that I am looking for, and also for the tip on machining the mounting pads, . . Skolzie

Many thanks to REDMODELT and JACK for the input. I'll get on it soon! Skolzie

Looking to rebuild the mag assembly on my 14 T. I've been told of a gentleman who does this, and has recently moved to MN, from either Ind or ILL. If someone out there knows of him, or anyone else that does this, I would appreciate hearing from you. What I want is a good rebuild job at a...

Royce, I'm not clear on the part of placing the cc only in the trough. Appears to me that this would be only a small amount of cc. The baskets I've viewed, have a series of holes in the bottom of the trough, to distribute the water. I have never used the trough type, as mine has the wire...

I'm doing "Preservation in Progress" on my 14 Touring, and I need some of the original seat covering panels and edge bead. (need not be 14). I have patched up and re-aligned all the upholstry, except the front seat cushion, and covered it with clear plastic. I have replaced the original...

I'm at again. In my line replacement, I did sub. a plastic T fitting and some short lengths of plastic tube,(for a condensate drain, ) and it worked well, for a while. My symptom now appears to be low gas pressure. I did the test with the actylene welder and it works rather well. Also I...

Looking for one top bow, the rear one, wood only. Mac's won't split a set, nor will they disclose their provider. Does anyone know of a person (or persons) who has one for sale, or makes them? Any and all leads will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Skolzie

I am in need of the rear top bow (wood part only) and I am looking for someone or some place where I can buy just one. The supply houses that I contacted will not sell just one. Thankx ! ! skolzie

Hi, I did mine by taking the compression tester and a sparkplug, went to the nearest auto parts store. The most accomadateing (sp) clerk rummaged around somewhere in the back of the store, and came up with a ready made reducer, no modifying required. Kinda lucky, I thought. It works fine...

Ron, I had the very same problem on the VERY SAME taillight! (I'm thinking that this is really neat!) Do you have a '14 T.? I acquired some fuel tank sealer for motorcycles, as it is available in a small quantity. Worked fine, so I used it on my sidelight fonts, excellent results. Skolzie

My copper tubing is plugging with condensation, and it dries up. Tried Zing, which is a cleaner for the alum tubes on my pontoon boat, but the stuff in the tubing is too thick. I am replacing the tubing, and need to know the configuration of the route. My fading memory keeps nagging at me...

ws, thanks for the reply, I suspect it's a compression leak, and will try the the alum foil. skolzie

YMB Thanks for the info. i'm thinking that it is a compression leak at the sparkplug threads. I'll try the alum foil technique first. Skolzie

1914 Touring. Recently noticed water bubbles appearing around the base of #1 spark plug, I'm thinking it to be condensation being forced out past leaking threads. Am I right, and what is the fix?
