Default New to The 1926 Ford Model T

Hi,

Just wondering what is the best place to get parts for the Model T, currently looking for rear axle bearings at the wheel end.

Thanks

James

I usually deal with Snyder’s or Lang’s for parts. Snyder’s sells both Model A and Model T parts. Lang’s only sells Model T parts but also has a huge inventory of good used parts

Chaffins garage as well, also check the "for sale" on the MTFCA web site those are always up for grabs.

Am I not remembering correctly, but did Chaffins have some rear axels made and heat treated, including some that could be ordered slightly longer?
I ordered a pair and they have been great with no problems.
I was able to obtain some original roller bearings that were well within specs and at the same time, rebuilt the entire rear end with new parts and it took a while to get the tolerances correct by thinning ever so slightly the bronze thrust washers.
Steel safety wired as well.

Regards,

Ring and pinion gears were also fitted to within tolerances, according to the MTFCA book on re-building the T rear end.
