I know this is a dumb question, but, I have looked in the Filling Station, and can not find a listing for a simple, black tire cover, in a 21 inch size. am I missing something, or is there another source for one?

I can easily buy a Ford one, but would rather not.

Thanks,

Jay

Hi Jay,

I think you are right, I could not see on the Filling Station site either, also checked Gary Wallace, nothing there also.

Looks like a google search in your area.

Regards

Ray

How are the new toys going?

Send Gary an email, I am sure that he has had some for a 1928 (21") before.

I will call Gary later today.

Thanks,Mr. Mack.

Hi Ray, I have been doing some comparison test driving of my 26 Model T Coupe and my new 26 Chevy Superior Coupe. Boy, if those Chevy dealers back in the day had a spare Model T for people to test drive, Ford might not have sold any cars that year, except on price. This Chevy is so much more capable in roadability and interior space and comfort. The greatest active safety feature is really the suspension, which is quite stable. The Model T's greatest fault lies in that bouncy, instable two spring suspension, which is nearly always a handful to control. People on the T forums constantly consul people to keep it at 25 mph, and its okay at that speed, but higher speeds are a challenge.

Later,

Jay

Hey Jay,

Very pleased to hear that your "coming over from the other side" has been completed, hopefully in 6 months time your wont even remember how to spell F***.

Seriously though I think Henry was to blame as from what I believe he held back any serious development on the T for many years, not to mention the strange driving method with the two pedals etc.

You would be able to confirm that they are a dam hard thing to drive, and over here the vintage car clubs are very low in numbers with T models, unlike the A's that are a lot more commen.

Regards

Ray

Just got one from Gary Wallace last week. He also has a Chevrolet patch that can be sewn on also.
