Sold: A circa 1908-12 Rubes triple twist brass horn. Has a different mounting bracket and reed angle than standard T horns, but would look great on a speedster. Note this one mounts on the right hand side of the car (unless its mounted upside down on the left hand side). It is marked Rubes. It has a...

For sale: A Rubes horn in very nice unrestored condition. This has the diamond shaped mounting bracket which is specific to 1915. It also has the extremely hard to find 90 degree elbow which was used in early 1915 only. The horn has a few minor dents which would be easy to fix. One thumb screw for t...

A very nice original tail lamp bracket. This is the style with a separate bolt in license plate bracket that I believe was used only in 1915 on runabouts and possibly coupelets. Its in excellent condition. See photos. Price $95 includes air mail postage to the USA. Payment by Paypal (friends and fam...

Here are some comparison photos showing the (apparently) Canadian Roadster Pickup assembly next to a standard fender mounted 1926-27 Australian (Canadian) assembly. Same license plate holder / tail light, just a different mounting bracket. Also an Australian ad for a "Light Delivery Runabout". In Au...

Thanks Bob and Les.

Yes - seems similar to the TT assembly but with a different license plate holder.

Les - am I correct in assuming Canadian roadster pickup?

Does anybody have a photo of one on a car?

Hi all I'd like to positively identify this tail light / license plate assembly. Its in Australia, so if it came here in 1926-27 its likely a Canadian part. The drop arm looks like the standard US part for a 1926-27 roadster-pickup. The license plate holder and light body look like standard Canadian...

Hi Andre

I have an original pair (not for sale - for my Torpedo). If you can't get them and need dimensions to make them, I can help.

Tony - a T arrived in Sydney in early 1909 and given the arrival date and likely shipping time, there's a good chance it was a 2 lever car. As for what became of it - I wish I knew!

Two 1911-13 running board irons. These are of heavier construction than later ones. They need to be heated and re-set but are very solid with no pitting or other problems. This style is very hard to find. Compared to the 1914-16 or 1917-21 style they are thicker and differently shaped in various pla...

New unused repro switch and key for 1911-13 Heinze coil box. Good quality - very nicely made. Nice positive action in mag - off - bat lever. Black paint on insert behind key needs touching up, otherwise its in excellent condition. $225 includes air mail postage from Australia to the USA. Paypal paym...

Phillip - I can't text you but have sent you an email. Air mail to the US (including tracking) will be about USD 45.

1912 Holley H1 #4550 brass carb. Very nice original in very good as found condition. It is complete and unmolested. Even includes the hard to find inlet pipe. This carb has the RHD throttle arm - suitable for a right hand drive car. Yes - they had a different throttle arm compared to the LHD version...

Hi Norm. The front 2 cars are model T's with bodies built by Tarrant Motors who were the Ford agents for the state of Victoria. They sometimes used crowned fenders like on the car on the right. That car also has the distinctive Tarrant rounded top radiator tank.

What a nice item Donnie. Thanks for posting the photos. If you don't have any luck finding inserts, you could make some using old head bolts.

Andrew

Thank you Steve and Susan for your replies. Steve - its always great to see photos of #220 - a car I dreamed about as a kid. Susan - thanks for taking the time to post the VF article. I do have that issue, and was wondering whether the info sheet "The Story of # 394" had any info additional to what ...

I was just doing the virtual museum tour and would like to see more info on T 394 (I think). If this is the car I'm thinking of, my father had the chance to buy it in the 1980's but had just retired and decided not to. I can't quite read the sign on the virtual tour and there is an info sheet which ...

Seems to be a browser issue. The pictures didn't display for me in Chrome but when I opened the page in Edge they did.

Interesting early re-creation. The rear axle housings are 1911-12 12 rivet modified to look like 6 rivet housings. The front axle is a later one modified to look like 1909-11. You can see where they have added material to "fill in" the area where the spindle arm clearance used to be. The spindles ar...
