Re: Brass Polish?
I use California Custom Purple and Blue Magic. When something is really bad I use Brite Boy.

Re: Brass model “T”s
I looked at a set of Rocky Mountain brakes and they look very similar to my factory brakes. I've been thinking of trying to clean the brake lining to see if that helps. It's important to me to keep...

Re: Brass model “T”s
My Maxwell is set up more like a modern system with expanding drum brakes. Then it also has outside clamping on the same drum. All on rear and nothing on front.

Re: Brass model “T”s
I've heard of them but never seen a T up close with them on it. I'll have to look into them further.

Re: Brass model “T”s
I never really considered it. It has a pretty faithful to stock restoration. It also doesn't have brake lights or turn signals.

Re: Brass model “T”s
That looks like a nice area to take a drive. I pretty much stopped driving mine without an escort a few years ago. Not really because of fear of it breaking. I've had several people cut me off and I...

Re: Brass model “T”s
I like the looks of the white tires but they seem like they would be hard to keep white. On another board they have talked about sometimes they turn a little brownish with age.

Re: Brass model “T”s
That is a bunch. I grew up around a large collection of 30's and later. My Maxwell was our only one older than 1928. It was just overwhelming to try to keep up. It's now down to just three which at...

Re: Brass model “T”s
I have a brass car but it's not a T. It's a Maxwell but nobody really makes anything for them so I have the T books to order things. The car cover I ordered for a T fits very well.

Re: window regulators
I don't want to hijack this thread. Would some of you be willing to help me identify some parts? The first being a window regulator. Then a window frame and a couple of trim pieces.
