Re: 1926 Model T 6volt vs 12volts
Hi there I maybe wrong and maybe right But in Australia my experience is that our 6 volt battery’s don’t stand up as good as they should That’s why I converted to 12 volts The other reason why is we run a 12 volt uhf ( CB Radio ) For safety and communication between our big groups As we are on count...

Ford service bulletin
Hi just a question
Not 100% sure but these are the original ford dealer service bulletins that was gifted to myself a few years ago
These are special to me but would like to know was there many of these or did many of these survive?

Hi Lorenzo I’m going to try and explain so her goes
The first pic is of an in modified starter and as you see the input bar is connected to both sides to a coil
On the other side there are the brush leads joined in the middle by two coils but the eyelets are on one continuous lead

It is a 1/2” copper fitting a bit of pipe and a plate
And this is how it came out
