Hello Sam

Here’s this weeks newsletter.

Hello All

Here’s this week’s addition of what did Pat do this week.

So again this week was again snowy and cold so I didn’t get as much done as I’d like but as per the usual I got shit done. Here’s what I did.

Customer work is slow again this week but that will change later this week.

I managed to get the Model T transmission parts cleaned and ready. My Two assistants come with me yesterday and did what Jenn calls “Voodo” it’s really just recharging the V magnets on a Model T flywheel. I attached a video of that process. This job is now on hold for a week or so while I wait on some backordered parts to come in. Later this week will be busier with two other customer jobs. A Model T carburetor, and a Model A starter. More on those later.

My stuff…

Jenn also brought her modern car in for a little service work. Yesterday we did an oil change in it, and rotated the tires.

I also got working on the brakes for my Roadster project. Again as with most of the mechanicals they just needed a good cleaning and some parts replacements. I got everything cleaned, and the brake shoes relined and started fitting the shoes. Basically the steps are…clean, reline, arch the shoes to the drum, then fit them to get good contact least 80% pad contact. I managed to get one rear done.

As for this up coming weekend….sorry I have prior plans on Saturday so I won’t be able to make the breakfast.

I will be around Sunday however and I’m planning a little workshop/talk/whatever you’d like to call it.

I’ve only had 3 suggestions. Speedometers, and bendix drives, and I believe Sam mentioned rear hub seals?

So here’s what I’m thinking. It’s Gona be kind a mix of a bunch of small things. I will cover speedometers, starters, brakes, and anything else you’d like me to cover.

I set a time for 12:00. So feel free to bring any lunch/snacks you’d like to.

If you have any other suggestions please don’t hesitate!! Send them my way that way I can prep whatever we’ll need.

Also don’t forget to please send me anything you’ve done! I’d be happy to include it here in my newsletters.

Till next time!
