I'm sure this subject has been hashed over plenty, but I would like some input on the steering column brackets I have. I'm positive the lower one in the photo is 1909.
My question is the other 4, some have the raised lettering reversed and some are on the opposite side. B indicates late 1911 and up, but they all seem a little different. How late did they have raised lettering?
Thank you, Michael Paul

Re: 932s
On our Canadian sourced cars, the later brackets had the cast number in the valley between the steering shaft and the frame mount and the digits were about half the previous size. I don't know when the change was made.

Re: 932s
I don't know for certain. I believe from past discussions and questionable memory, that the raised lettering ended early calendar 1915. I have an early-ish non-raised letters one I am planning to use on my '15 runabout. I don't have another raised letter one, and in a past discussion someone better than I said what I have was correct.
I would look forward to comments by again better experts than I.

Re: 932s
Thank you Allan and Wayne for the info. I posted a reply a couple days ago, but somehow I didn't show up.
I was hoping to find out which of the two 932s without the B was earlier. My guess is the bracket with 1911? Is the earliest, since it has the number in the same location as the 9/10 bracket. In the process of restoring an 11 touring and trying to make sure things are correct.
Thanks, Mike
