Good video on T brakes. I'm really excited to see that car together and painted. I've also been studying the progress of that 1913 phaeton build from the beginning, I mean come on folks, how many genius restorer self proclaimed experts on you tube in the T, and A world have built a complex sheet metal body from scratch to specification and are now having it painted? Plus top notch upolstery videos, engine rebuilds, automatic trans. rebuilds, Model A fender restoration video. to name only a few. BRAVO! there is something to watch on you tube on the old Fords more than just another how I grease my whatever one more time and ask people for money.
I always enjoy your videos. I don't have a model t, I have two model a's. That break system is similar to the model a ford. I wish you could have videos more often.
I have found that the thick felt seals that get pushed up the axle shaft really helped keep oil off the brakes. I use two each side. Available at Model T vendors
Thanks for the new video! In early cars, I think the brake rod clevis itself was made with an angle built in. One other factor on the length of the brake rods - they need to allow the brake lever to go fully forward in high gear, otherwise the high gear clutch might slip.
Don't have a T ---- But -----it is interesting to see how Henry did it ------------- One would think ---- the Emergency brake would be on the transmission --- not the rear end -- both sides -------- And the Braking System would be on the rearend ---- not a band on the tranny ----- by looking at those tires ---- cracks on the sidewalls and in the tread ----- owner should be looking at some tires ------- now that Summer is ----- is it getting hot down there --- more drier than normal summer prediction ----------- Stay Cool ----- See you on your next one --- Rodney
