What do these do? Who made them? Do I need to keep them?
Snubbers. They are supposed to take the bounce out of your ride.
Ivan,
No, you "reel-y" don't want to keep them. Just box them up and mail them to me, I'll even mail you back the shipping costs!!
Looks like the rear cable needs some attention.

Your snubbers are Ford accessory parts, made for the Touring car, part #T3209 and other body types part #T 3208.
Picture from Feb 1926 Ford Service Bulletin.
Rather nice accessory to keep on your T
You will find a Ford script on the backing plates of those snubbers - they are the real thing.
A fairly "hard to find" item. Keep them!
I have Bosch snubbers on my T but they have cotton web straps instead of cables like Ivans. Does anyone know how to find replacement straps, and how to replace?
thanks
Vince
