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

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...

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.

I found this and couldn’t figure it out The 1926 ford model t had a ford rear end with drum brakes. I saw the brakes but the wheel cylinder was mounted on the bottom. Basically the drum brake set up was upside down. Anyone ever heard of this? Thanks Jerry

well I finally got the correct brake master cylinder on my model t. The problem is when I added brake fluid I opened the bleeder screws and got no brake fluid dripping after two days. The model t has been sitting for 30 years so the rubber lines maybe clogged. So my options are to bleed the...

On my 1926 ford I have a single pot brake master cylinder. I bought a new similar master cylinder. The major problem is the bore is set to high in the master cylinder. So my question is should I look for the direct replacement that was in my Frankenstein car? Or drill new mounting holes? The...

On my 1926 I have the original bench seat. It’s just the frame and spring. My question is should I rebuild the original seat. Or go a little modern? I kind of like the patina barn find look. I just have a little more work before it moves on its own. But just curious. Thanks Jerry

I have a 1926 model t roadster pick up. It has been updated to 12 volt system. Does anyone have advice on car battery to use? I am thinking of mounting the battery in the same place the factory did. I was looking at perhaps a battery from a Honda Civic. Any opinions? Thanks Jerry

On my 1926 Ford Model T the seats are gone. All that's left is the springs. Anyone put newish seats in these cars? My truck is very Frankenstein so newish seats are not a problem. Comfort and fit are more important to me. Thanks Jerry
