I have for sale from a recently purchased box of parts a Bosch DU4 magneto. It puts out good spark when turned. It has a metal/rubber drive coupling on the end. I will also throw in 2 Model T wooden coils with Ford script as an extra bonus.

Hi, Thanks for the reply. What will it cost and for shipping? Thanks, Tony G

Looking to by1928 -29 fuel tank in usable / restorable condition. No heavy rot or leaks please. I can pick up at next swap meet or come to you if in MA, NH, or ME.

I have a book for sale titled Ford Smiles by Shrewsbury Publishing Co.Copyrighted 1917. It's a good natured book of Model T jokes from the period. It's soft bound with over 150 pages of funny jokes about Model T's and their owners. The book is in very good condition with some minor cover damage...

Fan Sold

I have an early Model T fan with shaft, pulley and brackets. The 13" blade looks solid with no cracks and has very slight wear on each tip from apparently rubbing while turning at one time.The bushing has slight play and sold as is for restoration. Asking $45.00 & shipping

The History Channel could never be taken seriously as a factual resource of knowledge.Most of their programming is tired overused footage with half a$$ed explanations.They offer cheap filler material to hang commercial breaks onto.

I have seen Rustoleum 2X used on a set of fenders with fantastic results.I would have sworn that it was professionally done at a body shop. The 2 X product has more color pigment than the regular can.The color was black although they have many colors of 2X.

Follow up I filed a coat hanger into a square shape and stuck 2 pieces off of the hanger into an old bill fold and soldered the hanger part to the bill fold.They protrude out of the holder about 1.5 inches and then filed the tips to an angle like a chisel.The beauty is that with extra hanger...

Thankyou everyone for your ideas and suggestions. Craig I think your idea is great and I'm going to try it out.I might possibly be able to make the coat hanger tool into a sort of plane by attaching the hanger sections together solidly. Maybe use a metal backing strip and solder. Thanks Again...

Hi Fellow A'ers I'm restoring the steering wheel on my 1929 truck.Ive epoxied the cracks and have no qualms about painting it afterward. Does anybody know a way to recut/touch up the concentric lines on the face of the wheel? Thanks, Tony G.

Thanks for the info. I have the latches apart now and I found the springs and pins at an industrial supply store.When it's time to refinish them I think I'll use POR 15 on them.

Hi Fellow A'ers , Ive read someplace that they restore hood latches. How do you disassemble them? I see the pin on the bottom needs to come out but I cant see how the internal rod & spring come out that way. Any tips on this type of operation is appreciated. Thanks, TG

I saw a tool for removeing the screws years ago in a Chevy manual. All it was is an arbor press with a bit on it that you could twist. TG

I agree that 2 weeks is the normal period of mourning by your casual friends.In my case my closest friend of 35 years who got me into Model A's died unexpectedly 2 years ago. He went with me on my first Model A purchase and said he thought I could handle the extensive restoration it needed. He...
