⚜️ Ford Model T - Bad Timing - Quick timer fix hack!

🌏 https://www.fordmodelt.net 🐤 https://www.twitter.com/ModelTMitch 🌳 https://www.linktr.ee/modeltmitch My Model T was running worse than the Mexican economy; and I was at a loss as to why that was. Until I took the timer cover off... So, using a sanding head on my cheap Bunnings engraver tool, I managed to (by eye) re-surface the contact (and insulator) surfaces inside my roller timer. Now I know this should really be done on a lathe to get a perfectly rounded surface, but as I don't have access to one, this was the next best thing, which I'm pleased to say worked very well!

The Model T was manufactured between 1908 and 1927, and was know by various names including Tin Lizzie, Flivver, T‑Model Ford, or just 'T'. The Model T set 1908 as the historic year that the automobile became popular. It is generally regarded as the first affordable automobile, the car that opened travel to the common middle-class American; some of this was because of Ford's innovations, including assembly line production instead of individual hand crafting. On May 26, 1927, Henry Ford watched the 15 millionth Model T Ford roll off the assembly line at his factory in Highland Park, Michigan. #classiccars #fordmodelt #vintagecars #ford #interview #vlog #fordmotorcompany
