I just acquired a turtle deck for my 1920 Model T Roadster project. It came without a lid or hardware. I was hoping for some help with pictures, dimensions or even better a set of handles. If anyone can send me closeup pictures of the handles inside and out I would be most appreciative. Thanks for the help, Bill
Bill,
I'd be glad to get you some detailed photos of my '21 Runabout. It will have to be this evening when I can get to it.

William, here is a link to a previous Forum discussion.

John, I did a search before I posted and didn't find that thread or any with adequate detail to try and fabricate the handles. This definitely gets me going in the right direction. With a few pictures and dimensions from Orlando I will be all set to have a friend fabricate a set or two. Thanks for providing the link. I don't think I would have been able to restore my Touring or Roadster had it not been for this forum and its contributors. Bill
For 1920, the handles were flat, stamped steel, not the round forged/cast handles used in the 1913 - 1917 model years.
Langs sells reproductions of 1913 and 1914 handles with brass escutcheon plates.
Bill, I have found this link that Dan Knoll posted last year very helpful. It's a link to pictures posted here on the Forum, and it will take you to the discussions associated with the pictures. You can usually find what you are looking for by using it.
Best regards, John

Bill,
I've taken a few photos and also had a few in my inventory. This is of my 1921 Runabout. I can take more if you need, and also get measurements of specific areas.
Orlando
John, I have never had my searches produce quality results like that before. Thank you so much. Bill
Orlando, Thank You for the great pictures, I will post some pictures of my home made ones when I get them finished. Again, many thanks to everyone. Bill
