| I could use the piping on my boat ...but if someone else wants for a "T Car" ..I would step-aside with that request. Cheers, David 55 TF1500 #7427 |
| David Sheward |
| David, at this point your the first to ask. E-mail me your address and will check shipping prices tomorrow for all those that have requested parts so far. LaVerne |
| LED DOWNEY |
| LaVerne, I would like to lay claim to the "trim strips" for the side curtains as well. A Couple of mine are pretty bad shape! Cheers, David 55 TF1500 #7427 |
| David Sheward |
| Hello Led Don't need the parts, just wanted to say thanks for offering them up after your restoration so others may make use of them. Regards Hiram |

| Led: Your description of the TF seats foam said that you went another route. Can you please share what you did that was better than using new replacement foam? Godspeed in Safety Fast Jc |
| John Crawley |
| John, I bought the foams thinking that I was getting them for the seat backs. They were for the bottoms. Same as the ones that came on the new wood seat bottoms I had already bought from Moss except yellow in color instead of blue. Tried to use one on the seat back and set it to the frame with some contact cement and discovered that the shape wouldn't work and it was to thick. So I pulled it off the seat frame ( hence the damage) and bought some thinner foam from a fabric store along with some fiber batting. I carved the foam with an electric carving knife ( don't tell my wife). and it turned out pretty well. I just couldn't see putting the nasty horsey hair back under the new leather. I thick both would still work very well for a TF bottom seat cushion. LaVerne |

| Parts Update Here is what hasn't been requested yet. Crankshaft Ring gear ( I didn't list or show a picture but its here. Not all that bad on the used side but good square teeth on the other side you could mount towards the starter. 4 wheels that I'm hoping somebody wants because they are at the tire shop and are costing me $15.00 each to dismount and dispose of the tires brake cylinders ( I don't blame ya here) seat foams TF bonnet buttons and housings LaVerne |
| LaVerne |
| LaVarne, I understand the ring gear has a chamfered side to clear the radius on the inner corner of the mounting surface of the flywheel, making them difficult to reverse. It is better, folks say, to simply rotate it 90 degrees so it comes to rest on a different tooth if there are problems. Although, for an $80 repro part, I would probably just go the replacement route rather than put a worn piece in. Sounds like your other offerings are going real well. Very generous and nice of you to help others out. warmly, dave |

| Just came back from the UPS Store and I'm a little shocked at the prices for packing and shipping. To save me from multiple e-mails tonight check for your order here. No money in advance please. I will give you exact cost when it's shipped. If anyone wants to back out because of the shipping cost I understand. For those of you that wish to continue just drop me a note. Gordon Clark $ 37.71 David Sheward $ 19.04 Kurt Byrnes $ 99.51 George Butz III $ 81.00 plus $ 6.50 for tire removal (they gave me a break) David DuBois $ 15.00 Larry Shoer $ 19.00 Bud Precht $ 15.33 Keep in mind fellows that this is used stuff and if you don't expect much you won't be disapointed. There are a couple of other requests that I didn't get into the truck but I'll try and get them soon for you. Those of you that asked for parts that don't have a photo of you and you "T" (regardless of condition) posted with Gordon Lawson won't get your parts until Gordon gets his photo. Still have 4 wheels 3 lug nuts ring gear seat foams crankshaft brake cylinders Lets get this stuff outa my shop. LaVerne |
| LaVerne |
| Sorry, The Sprite stuff is all still available. |
| LaVerne |

| LaVerne |
| How do I contact LaVerne? Thanks |
| RG Taylor |
| LED - You didn't list the shock links in either the "already requested" or the "still have them" - I could used them if they haven't been spoken for. This was one piece missing from the 4 large tubs of parts for my car. Thanks - Don |
| don scott |
