Everything else gets cotter pins except the spark and throttle rods, they get hitch pin retainer clips. Not doing show cars so the ones I work on get lock washers under the nuts on the pan to block bolts. Use lock washer like on the motor and brake cross shaft and few other areasīy Mark Gregush Portland Oregon on Sunday, Decem12:53 pm: If the pins to long cut it shorter once installed. Plus one with odd sguff like Steve J says you get buying. I buy the sortment have containers witch i fill I was glad that was the only problem, even better when I went back and found my gear.īy Nevada Bob Middleton on Sunday, Decem12:13 pm: I was excited about getting my speedometer installed and forgot to bend the cotter pin. 3/32 x 3/4" is what I use alot of on T's Then 1/16 x 1/2" for comm and throttle rods and such.īy Corey Walker, Brownsboro TX on Sunday, Decem11:54 am: These lists recently posted by Dan Treace show the sizes and how many are needed on one car.īy Chad Marchees _Tax Capital, NY on Sunday, Decem11:46 am: The pan bolts are not so important, but those steering parts are another story. I also use stainless so they won't get rusted in. I avoid assortments because they always include a lot of stuff I'll never use. Still not a bad idea, but boy are they ever a PIA!! But you sure do want them everywhere else, especially in the steering gear!īy Steve Jelf, Parkerfield KS on Sunday, Decem11:40 am: G.R., my guess is someone else put 'em in at a later date. They stopped using cotter pins on the pan in '25. Mark My 27 has the cotter pins in the oil pan bolts.īy Tim Wrenn-Monroeville OH on Sunday, Decem11:40 am: I may be mistaken, but I believe that Ford stopped putting cotter pins in the oil pan nuts at some point, maybe around 1925.įor all the newbies, never loosen a nut to get the cotter pin holes to line up! The nut must be tight! Either tighten the nut up a little more, or add a washer, or file some off the back of the nut so that the cotter pin holes line up when the nut is tight!īy G.R.Cheshire (La Florida!) on Sunday, Decem11:34 am: My question is is this enough or should I go to HF and get another package?\īy Mark Strange - Hillsboro, MO on Sunday, Decem11:29 am: I found 2 cotter pins! unfortunately they are installed in the brake cam lever, Hummmm doesn’t seem like they belong there! Radius rod where it connects to the oil pan bolt instead of stud on left,right side is correct but not safety wired!īrake shoe pivot bolt nope none there either Spring Perch and radius rod nope none here either No cotter pins in any of the steering linkage bolts! Model T Ford Forum: Those Pesky Cotter Pins! )*(&^# Those Pesky Cotter Pins! )*(&^#īy G.R.Cheshire (La Florida!) on Sunday, Decem11:19 am:Īfter Steve's mishap I started looking real close to my "New" 25,this is some of what I foundĪs you can see there are no cotter pins in any of the Engine Pan bolts and some of the nuts aren't even correct(new engine bolt kit on the way)
