General Discussion / Tire Inflation Info
January 14, 2009, 11:36:19 PM
!!!! LOW TIRE PRESSURE CAUSES PROBLEMS ON CLINCHERS  -  COME ON SPRING !!!!*
Here is some surprising info found on the Model T Forum I thought was interesting. The question was why his Model T valve stems were failing. The answer is:
*
ANSWER: Usually a valve stem failure is caused by one of two things - the tire slipping on the rim, carrying the tube with it, or the tube it self "sloshing" in the tire. Both of these are usually caused by insufficient pressure - clinchers take 20 p.s.i. per inch of width, so on 30 x 3 1/2 tires you need 70 PSI. (3.5 X 20 = 70 PSI)   If you go with a standard oversize, which is 31 x 4, that puts it up to 80 PSI. (4 X 20 = 80 PSI)
*
Dont underinflate clinchers.... a lot of people seem to think 40-50 PSI is OK and wonder why they have tire problems.  Clinchers are high pressure tires and designed to run in that way.
*
There may be another, tho... If your rims have been powder coated, the slickness of the finish *can* cause the tire to move even at 70 PSI.  You may need to "de-coat" insides to get rid of that glass smooth finish in the rim where the tire sits.
*
One reservation I have is if your tires have a lot of age on them the sidewalls won't hold to this theory.

General Discussion / !!!! Christine Lives !!!!
March 09, 2007, 06:18:40 PM
 :o I went out to take the dog for a walk and Rosie and I went by the garage and noticed the doors were swinging in and out and rattling !!! I heard metal rattling !!! There was the smell of exhaust in the air !!! Rosie's ears perked up !!! She looked at me - I looked at her !!! This is the garage were I keep my 29 Coupe -  behind that door. My thoughts immediately went the movie CHRISTINE ! Waiting for the door to come down and a WILD 4 cylinder to charge out !!!!  And then it started raining and the wind stoped blowing, the doors quite swinging making noise. I opened the door and the little Black Coupe was just settin there waiting for spring. I will blame this story on cabin fever. I still think the coupe wants out.  Oh well  - Have a great summer!

I have a 1929 Plymouth Coupe U model and got to drive it the first time last fall. After a few repairs and etc. it is finally running. I found out some information that might be of interest to these members. More on that later. HAPPY MOTORING !!!! - Rich  ::)
