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?

Searching for information on the 1912 logo (I understand it was used '12,13, & 14). Anyone where I can locate a shirt with that logo on it, or maybe just the logo. ? I checked with a few repo licensees, but can't come up with anything. Any and all leads are appreciated! thanks!! skolzie

Used lotsa Brasso while doing 4 years in the Army, and found it produced a highly polished brass, in short order, however it does scratch, and close observation reveals same. Everyone used it, so I'm guessing that the Army got it "on the cheap" Presently using Wenol to restore the sidelights &...

t42, Checked out the rim and it is iron, as are the rims of the 2 other lenses. (clear and blue) The other 2 rims are rolled over the lens, without snap rings. The chimney top is marked Jno.W.Brown, model 115. Would you think that it is possible that Henry had them made some with iron rims...

Many thanks to Will N and t42 for the replies! I believe that I can handle the project, except that I do not have a snap ring. Anyone know where I can find one? Any and all info will be appreciated!

I have a taillight that one of the round lens holders, has undergone some surgery. It appears that the rounded rim(which holds the lens in place) has been bent up to a straight position. See photo. I'm searching for a method to "re-roll" the metal to a rounded position to match the other two...
