My vote is 17-25 based on the two holes at the back. There is a wide hem on the back side to tie into the crowned fender.

I looked this morning. The welcome page is up. The forum and classifieds remain down.

No. The first thing is the front and rear crossmembers. The 26 front has provisions for mounting the fenders. The rear crossmember is wider. As I recall, the metal gauge on the side rails was changed for the heavier bodies.

Yes!

I had a standard SW Fordor, Murray body, that had two wood blocks for visors. Only the left side had a visor. There were no holes in the right block.

If you look at Charles Lindbergh’s similar style travel trailer in the Henry Ford museum you will see it has an articulated tongue for pulling. The front of the trailer rests on two pneumatic tires with a coil spring supporting the weight. The back end of the car doe not carry any weight...

Recently the MTFCA forum announced that Model T voltage regulators have been redesigned using new components and are available for sale. They are working on 8volt and 12 volt versions and are looking into positive ground versions.

With the script on the side of the crankcase and lack of an oil fill- breather, that is a Model T engine.

Brent, Is this place a possible source for cloth? They appear to be near your shop. https://holliston.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Sturdite.pdf

I had one Cartouche kit. The roof fabric was cut short and one of the three panels would not touch the bow upon which it was to be tacked. The sides where the fabric joins the front bow were also sewn wrong.They would not warranty it and told me I should have test fit it instead of leaving it...

Does this shutdown apply to all of Cartouche? Is the early Ford (09-31) upholstery affected?

The U-shaped clips were not a repair item. They were introduced in late 1925 and mostly appear on the wider 26-7 transmission brake drums. A few examples of these lug shoes have appeared on short 1925 drums. As I also have a ‘28, I don’t see any way to use these clips.

I had similar issues with a new can of Summit epoxy primer. Wooden stirrers broke off when I tried to mix it. I ended up buying a pneumatic paint shaker to stir it.

With the ‘28 system, the two shafts stay loose in the strap brackets that are mounted to the frame. This allows the brakes to equalize fore-aft as well as cross car. The book, the Model A as Henry built it, has an illustration showing this set up. I also found this…...

Try contacting Classtique Upholstery for the padding and spring fabric if you decide to replace it. I recently upholstered my rumble seat and my son’s car with their kits. They sell supplies separately.

In Michigan if the new owner is a relative as defined by the Secretary of State, no use tax is due and the title transfer is only the paper work fee. I can't see why anyone would jump the title if they inherited the vehicle and decided to sell it.

Colors other than black were not offered on the Runabout or Touring until later in 1926. The Model T encyclopedia states the colors were probably for the ‘27 Model year which was introduced in August

This is a good strategy on the part of the gasket maker. Partial punching ensures there is no punch offal clogging their machines and less waste for them to dispose.

I confess to all that I made a mistake. After driving over and examining my car, My 28 Sport Coupe does have the brace with a large hole. It was factory installed. So, is one brace for a Coupe and the other for a Roadster? Or is the large hole brace for factory installed rumble seats? I’m...

You need A-162-A. The photos are interchanged. The brace shown as 30-31 is actually 28-29. I contacted Snyder’s today and told them I believe the photos are mixed up. The brace we are discussing was purchased and used by my son to repair his 1929 Roadster. He was in Brookville, Ohio and I...
