There has been much discussion in the past about repair parts for Boyce Motometers. Restoration supply can supply the thermometer for the Sr. size but not the Jr. Has anyone found a source for the Jr. thermometer?
Is anyone from the Bloomington (LA) California area planning to attend the Pre War Swap Meet at Chickasha, Ok. March 15, 2019? I may have a fender to be delivered to the meet. Whatever it is worth will be gladly paid. Thank you, Jack Innes

FOR SALE restored 1914 touring, RAJO 8 valve overhead conversion, late crankshaft & transmission to handle the power. Clock & fresh Speedometer setup. Very powerful car. I now have a model 32 Buick which is also fast & I just do not have time to use the T . No problem in taking it back to the US...
An interesting bit of trivia;
The Waukesha - Ricardo Model T head is reported to improve performance without raising the compression ratio. The secret is a different shaped combustion chamber.

Many collectors in the Southern Ontario area look forward to the Steam Era show held Labour Day weekend at Milton ,Ontario. There is always a good car show along with the other machinery. After 53 years the show has moved to a new location near Milton.
The move is well explained at...
Does anyone know this fellow? I cannot send him a message through MTFCA since I do not have all of the activation keys & BS required. Where he is and a price would help make a decision.
I am mildly looking for a 1914 engine.

Has anyone first hand experience with Timesaver Lapping Compound for fitting babbitt bearings? It has been around since 1919 & some of the antique engine fellows say it works well. There is a lot of information at http://www.newmantools.ca/lapping/time.htm but they do not say what size to use...
By chance does anyone have any Michelin (made in USA) valve covers. These fit on the brass valve stems used on most Ts & other makes. I need 3 in total. They can be brass or nickel - these were nickel plated. There are reproductions out there but not quite the same - no knurl for one thing...
Does anyone know of someone from the Fresno, Ca. area going to the Pre War Swap Meet in Chickasha, Ok. later this month? I may have a transmission that needs to be delivered to Chickasha from Ca.
I have the makings of a giant speedster that I cannot allow myself to start. It is a late 20s Seagrave Hook & Ladder truck. It has a 1013 cubic inch 6 cylinder T head engine & a faster than normally geared rear end. It is extremely complete but he engine is stuck from sitting (about 40 years)...
It is a long shot but maybe someone has a Gabriel Horn hanging in the rafters. I need one for a larger car than a T. The horn is about 3" diameter & a little over 3' long. I do have one of their smaller, Aermore type horns on a T.
It is interesting that the Gabriel shock absorber co. started...
I just recieved this as a PM from someone listed as from Ca. Has anyone else had such messages? Are they fishing for an email address to infect? If so be careful!

Does anyone know where there might be drawings or blueprints for some of the special bodies built for the Model T Ford chassis during World War I ? There were several ambulance configurations as well as many varied utility bodies used. There were even armoured versions.
