This is the one I have. Quite a bit different than the pic you posted.

I have one, too, Herb. Mine’s in great shape but missing that part, also. I’m planning on having it in the bed of a tow truck project, and will likely make it out of wood. Can’t see anyone actually using the thing. Good luck on the search, that is half the fun.

I have these. Should be enough to put one together. Tmorsher@icloud.com I may have the switch plate, too.

Dropacent

John, would you concur that the wire-on is a bit later than model T product? An important note if anyone does use wire-on. Be careful to install so the flap is formed DOWN after install. DOWN AFTER INSTALL ! Sealer applied underneath, also. Personally, I’d use sealer under the wire-on and also under...

Just recd 3 and glad of it. Yes, they do not look like 40 years ago but neither do I ! 2 were good, 1 needed a little tweeking but will be fine. When you consider what we pay for them and what it would cost to make one yourself, still a bargain. JMHO

Dropacent

I’m guessing anyone can buy from them now.

Dwight, the binding you show in the first post is called “ wire-on”. After tacking or stapling in place, it is folded over, showing a nice finished black strip. I believe it’s later than model T production, but I’ve been away from upholstery and top work for a long time. Pretty sure it’s more of a 1...

Dropacent

Hi Jonah, I noticed you are fairly new here. That’s probably poor form to reply to a parts request like that. JMHO

Dropacent

Great work, Don. Always a pleasure to see something done right. Thanks once again for the documentation. In reference to another thread, there are well meaning but ignorant people out there that will inject epoxy into cars like this and call them done.

Just a great day when a package shows up from Mr. Liepold. Thanks again for doing a great job on these so many years ago, and offering them here.

One of my all time pet peeves is using any epoxy product on a historical auto made of nothing but metal, glass, rubber and cloth. When you are the caretaker you can do anything you want. It’s the poor guy down the road that will sadly discover epoxy in cracks, on radiators, rotten wood, anywhere a q...

Thanks Jerry, I was aware of that. I use a larger size on our Rajo oil gauges, and they are getting tough to find.

If freeze plugs actually worked, that would be a good place for one. I have 3 WR heads like Dan posted and mine do not have a plug there. Getting very hard to find one without freeze cracks.
