Parking Brake Rods
I have many, many questions..... Thanks for all your patience! I want to make sure this car is ready before I take it out on it's first drive. For some reason the left side Parking Brake Rod is not installed and is in a packing tube. The right side is hooked up. I know I can look at it, but I want to be sure that it's done right before ordering parts for the left side. Is there an online source for a parts breakdown of this assembly?

The MTFCA Forum site has a Vowell diagram section. There are brake diagrams posted there. Langs also has a good brake system diagram in their paper catalog. I don't know if its online.

Re: Parking Brake Rods
If you don't have them, get the parts catalogs from Langs, Snyders and Chaffins. Not everything in the catalogs is online.
Next, they all sell reprints of a number of repair books for the Ford Model T. Start with the "Ford Service" and Ford Parts book for the year of car or get the 1928 reprint. Sometimes it a lot faster to find information with book in hand, along with being able to look at the pictures.

Hopefully there is a local MTFCA club near you and some fellas only a few golf strokes away to get some pictures of other T's to use as a referece. Another good book is Milt Webbs rebuilding a ruckstell and how to drive a T, has some good pointers in settting up the rear brake adjustement. E-brake @ 12 O'clock and there should be just a slight drag on the drums as the brake cams begin to move the brake shoe. There is a lot going on and worn rear hubs as in my case were another problem related to rear brake adjustment. I have a set of Rocky Mountain brakes I will be setting up on my Fordor as soon as I get my wheels back from re-spoking, then I will be re-adjusting rear brakes. The fun never stops. |
