Re: Headlights / Grille Shell
I guess I hadn't thought or that. I don't know. They've been painted silver, but do look pretty straight. It's a thought.

Headlights / Grille Shell
I am wanting to buy these new for my '28. They have been out of stock for awhile. Any idea when they'll be back in stock? When the last guy restored my car he painted those parts. At least I still...

Re: Flickering Headlights
When I'm selecting the position I want it doesn't pop in, but I can feel a slight indent. Is rebuilding or replacing the switch something that can be done with the steering column still in the car? I...

Re: Traveling As
I thought about a set up like this to park my Model T and Model A in the garage, having them slightly offset, but I still don't have a long enough garage. :(

Re: My 1928 A Tudor steers very hard What ca I do?
I'm going to be studying these responses carefully. When I got my restored '28 Sport Coupe in 2021 I was impressed with how it didn't wander down the highway and that the steering had no play in it....

Flickering Headlights
The headlights flicker quite a bit till I get the lever placed just right. Anyone else have this at some point? Maybe it just needs a new switch? Is that hard to replace?

Re: Leg Room Question
I am about your build and have a '26 Roadster. It is a bit tight, but not horrible. I can still operate things fairly well. Is it true that the '26 & '27 are smaller than the earlier T's?

Re: Model "A" Goals For 2024
Just drive it more. This year I hardly ran two tanks of gas through it. Starting a new postilion at work has me busy, stressed and a bit depressed. I think about joining a club, but I'm on the fence...

My one concern is it could cause the plugs to foul, but I suppose there are other issues to consider. I know I'll be cold, but I'll live. Just don't want to be hard on the car and cause premature...

I'd like to drive my car more and drive it to work, but the days are short and it gets dark early. New LED headlight bulbs are in the mail so that will help. The other aspect of this is that I only...

Re: Air Filter or not
My '28 came to me with a baffle of sorts over the carb opening. No air filter. Would even that restrict airflow enough to be noticeable?

Throttle Lever Sneaks Down.....
On my '28 Sport Coupe the throttle lever keeps dropping and thus raising the idle speed. Not ideal for shifting. What causes this? Can it be adjusted/fixed in any way?

Re: Help, Please.
I do shut the gas off (throttle it down) and sometimes even the spark. I think my problem is that I'm shifting too soon. Next time I'm out I'll try that. Maybe the clutch also needs adjusting?

I e been on the fence about this. I’ve heard that I should be shifting into high before I get across the intersection. In other words, just get it rolling and then shift. How fast in low, then? I...

Re: Thinking of getting a Model T
If you have the money and room for one, get it it! You'll be glad you did. Back in 2021 I bought a '28 Sport Coupe and last year decided to buy a Model T. I found a '26 Roadster. It's been a lot of...

I've noticed this one mine, too. Is it possible then that the axle shaft is worn and I need to add shims?

Re: Coming over to the T side….1927 Touring
Looks like a fun one! We were in the hills of Arkansas two weeks ago, Eureka Springs. I tried to imagine what it would be like to drive my '26 Roadster through those hills and curves!
