Jeff To participate as a driver in The Winter T Tour, with your Model T, you have to register and pay the tour fee of $175. The tour was full, but has some cancellations. Some visit and ask to be a rider for free in a T if an accommodating participant will allow you. Some just follow...

Accessory, aftermarket.

Winter T Tour, March 8-12, 2020. Headquartered at Best Western Gateway Grand motel, Gainesville FL. Over 150 Model T's on tour, can be seen mornings and evenings at the motel parking lot.

Most go on the passenger side, where the oil filler is too. Mount on firewall, away from any moving things like the choke adjust. And be sure to mount low enough so the oil can spout can't hit the hood panel when raising and lowering the hood.

Original Ford accessory dash lamp.

The dash is to be body color. The under cowl gas tank is black. Factory original dash lamps have to be found on line, eBay or Model T facebook, or at swaps. They were new in either black raven finish, or nickel plate depending on applications.

Herm is correct, fenders can be the better tip off. But then, if the T has been molested then that is moot. Most times you can sleuth the chassis and fasteners to see what is likely from the branch assembly and what may have been changed in 90+ years. While Ford did use up parts at...

Was told by owner this is carb and manifold that came on his 1914 Metz, but don't really know for sure, the owner only had the car for a couple of years.

Most all the feature you have noted are 1924 model year. The carb shows '24 needle valve control, the tea cup tail lamp mounted to license plate is '24, deflectors on upper floor boards were on '24's. The 21" split demountable wheels would be '25, wondering if the spare rim carrier is for...

Here are the dimensions of the T steering column. Lang's sells both a brass and an alum version of the monocle frame. The bracket will have relief for the horn tube. Years ago used the alum one and painted it black. The clear shield was Plexiglas, as safety plate is a bit heavy for the...

Re: Trans. oil filter Just over size the holes to what you like, I used a step drill and made the center tiny holes larger, in steps. As for the magnet, your choice, most of the screens come with them. But a verified report of a magnet getting loose means you should think about keeping it in...

That spring isn't repro as little demand for a ventilator spring, at least you have the other side one, take it to your hardware store and they have box or drawer of springs and find something that will match! p/n 17046X Ventilator Spring, Ford Parts Book of Body Parts, original price: 10 cents!

Re: Trans. oil filter The oil screen is a great item, and use it. Have one with magnet, others without, but removed that magnet from reported displaced magnet that was chewed into the bushings of the triple gears! They are useful to catch things, and a must for cotton linings. The...

Has been done before. Model A engine, but no A trans, instead an adapter was machined to put the A block to the T planetary transmission. Major issues to fix, removing A water pump at front, as it would hit the T radiator in the T body. Providing sufficient oil to the T transmission, as the...
