Although I have a 28 Model A roadster, I keep getting lucky finding Model T stuff. Found a model t anti thef device a couple years ago. Found a 1916? Model T tire pump today. It is in great working condition. Paid $32 for it. Hope it will fit my model A running board.

I bought a model T tire pump today. It has the patent number 1191510 on it but no date such as Dec 14,1916. It has the number 1 on the handle. It is in great working order. Trying to find out if this is an earlier model or newer model since no date is on the pump itself

I always wanted a Model A ever since a high school friend of mine had one in 1961. My wife of 37 years said the only way I would get one is if the died. A friend of mine said that was horrible to say. My wife and I would just laugh it off. When she passed away in December 2012 I started looking for one, as I knew if I did not buy it soon I never would. In March 2013 I spotted a 28 Roadster on line at a dealership in NC. I bought the car, sight unseen. Although I would not suggest doing so. I bought it, had it delivered to me in China Grove, NC. I have not regretted it. I love my old car. I drive it locally and although the paint job is not the best, I always get looky Lou's. I love driving it to the store. The town I now live in, Welcome, NC has a speed limit of 35. Love it. I am 74 and enjoying this car. You are never too old for the oldies. I also have a 64 Ford TBird.

I did not find any looking like mine at their store..

Check with your DMV. When I worked for DMV in WA state you would have to have your car inspected by State Patrol and they would assign numbers, and then I believe you would have to be put on a 3 year registration only. That ment you could register and drive the car but a clear title would not be given out for 3 years. That would also allow you to sell the car but the new owner would not get a clear title until the end of the 3 year mark.

You probably got your lift by now. I had a 4 post bend pak and for the most part I loved it. My mistake was ordering mine set up for 115 wiring vs 240. It was slow. Also I had a hard time with the air lines which came disconnected a few times.

I have had to resort to making by 2 bows for my 28 roadsters. Have not found any to buy. My car had 1 bow but it was really broken up. Would like to see what each bow looks like.

Thanks for the info. It may reach around a tire and lock. I am going to try and have a key made for it. I just thought it was an interesdting item so I bought it. If I find someone at any of our car shows with a T I may approach them and see if it will fit their car. By the way I miss WA state. I am from Centralia, WA

Without measuring it I believe it is 3-4 inches. It is quite heavy and larger than it looks in pictures.

It is called Auto Theft Signal System.

I did find one on eBay for $125 and one for $71. I paid $20 for mine. Don't know how to hook it to the wheel.

Switching from 6 volt system to 12 volt system
MickyDC replied to MickyDC's topic in General Discussion
Love the photo's of your car. Hope mine looks as good as yours before I pass on. -
My 28 Ford roadsters is an olive green paint. I tried to go over it with a different paint I thought I would like. Does any one know what colors were offered in 28. I know a lot of Model A's were black but I would prefer a color that stands out. The body is straight but with a few blemishes. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Switching from 6 volt system to 12 volt system
MickyDC replied to MickyDC's topic in General Discussion
All electrical works ok. I was just wondering if 12 volt was better than 6 volt. -
I have my electrical manuals but when it comes to auto electrical I am not too bright. I wish I had someone in or very near to me to help me out. I live in Welcome, NC. I don't trust driving my car to Charlotte or Winston Salem. If someone in Lexington,NC could help me I would pay them

I actually drive my car a lot during the summer. When my wife wants me to go to the store I prefer using my 28 roadster. -

I thought about my brakes also but my car stops fine if I remember to slow down in advance. Thank goodness our speed limit where I live is mostly 35. -
Switching from 6 volt system to 12 volt system

Just an idea but probably a bad one. I do prefer to keep my model a original. -
My 28 Ford has 6 volt system. What is required to switch it to a 12 volt system. Do I have to rewire the whole car?
