Is there a website with a drawing of a model t floor. I need the location and diameter of the starter switch hole.

George.. that drawing may be reference to a 26-27 four-door sedan or a TT truck since it shows the gas tank under the front seat. He has a 27 touring car.

Thanks for the drawings, but I don’t believe they show the hole for the starter switch.
I’m actually looking for the starter switch hole diameter and location

Mike,
Dont have the drawing. You can get one from the Benson Ford Research Center, its complicated and costs money. If this helps, decades ago my father made new a floorboard using the original as a template, I cannot vouch for its accuracy. The hole is 1 3/8" dia, and all measurements are perpendicular to the edge of the floorboard.

Why not just map the position of the starter button and drill the floorboard to suit? At least that way any differences between cars will be negated and your drilled hole will be concentric to your particular starter button.
