Good information, thanks Mark! I'm really glad some items are starting to surface and be available again! A guy can order a kit today from Jim (937)692-6100.

Matt, Thanks for your response. I did some on line detective work from your photos and found the kits in Ohio! You are right, the old supplier is no longer around, but by chance I found the old car guy who took over and can help us brass car guys out! I spoke directly with the owner, Jim Watt. Jim i...

Everyone,
I missed out on this kit and need one real bad for my 1914 open express truck. Please, if anyone else has one available or if you can tell me where I can order a new kit, let me know. Thanks in advance for your reply back!

A bit of humor, two old Southern expressions come to mind...

You're very welcome Sir for the extra free ignition switch I gave you, I hope you enjoy it and have a great day!

Hello Sir, Unfortunately, the truth is I must say I sold it to "that guy". I even threw an extra ignition switch in the box for free as a courtesy, then paid extra money on my dime so the buyer received it faster. That's (2) good original functioning ignition switches, along with a nice original fun...

Other than maybe the model number and I think mine have a 1908 patent date, the rest of the lamp body, door, hinges and bottom fonts on my side lamps are identical. My two side lamps do not have the brass fonts with the two tightening levers that I have seen on quite a few 1914's. I just figured Hen...

Mike, Hopefully 1914 fits the bill. My 1914 already has the E&J side lamps that match your tail light, but I wasn't sure if my existing two lamps were correct for a 1914?? That said and if someone more knowledgeable than me can confirm your tail light is correct for 1914..., I will take it Brother! ...

Hi Mike or anyone else,
Please educate me. What year/years would this style tail light be proper for? Thanks a bunch for your reply!
