Trying to find a set of pliers that were in the 1915 tool kit. Is the attached picture the correct pair?

Could someone post a close up picture of the 1915 pliers and screwdriver?

Thanks Steve, they both have a ford script and T-1387 on them.

I’m working to build a tool kit for my 1915 touring. I found two T-1387 wrenches one having markings of “Moore drop forged” and one with no markings other than part number and ford script. Would either of these match what was included in ‘15?

No, these are not the Canadian lights, the forks are too wide for that, plus they are clearly marked Gray & Davis and they don’t have the ford style trim rings.

It’s a ‘15, I’m pretty sure these are not OEM.

I took these lights off my car to return it to original. They’re marked Gray & Davis made in Boston. The forks measure 7.5” center to center and are double bulb. I also have the high/ low beam switch. Anyone know anything about them? I’ve not found any similar.

Thanks

Sorry, but one more question. Should the brass plate on the coil box be black paint with brass letters? I’m thinking someone polished the paint off.

Thanks for the help.

Here’s a photo of the firewall put back together. The cab control rod was much closer to the switch than the drawing. The cover plate had a flat cut into it and it now lines up nicely with the switch. I’m thinking it was built this way. Car build based on engine sn is dec 1914.

My car had an after market switch cut into the firewall. Someone cut a 2” x 2” hole out of the firewall completely removing the original hole. I’ve plugged the big hole but now need to bore the correct hole for the original switch. Can someone tell me what size hole to cut and it’s location? Thanks ...

Thanks Collin. Sounds like you’re describing double contact lights in series. The problem I’m having is the judging guide says they should be single contact. A single contact bulb has one side of the filament going to ground through the base and the other end goes to the single contact. So, there’s ...

I’m looking at the model T judging guidelines, 4th edition and it says under 1915 headlights (180) magneto style, single contact.... my question is were these lights wired in parallel? If they were single contact it wouldn’t be possible to wire them in series as the wiring diagram indicates?
