What Do These Fit

Post by Mark Chaffin » Fri Nov 14, 2025 9:16 pm

These came as a pair with a load of Model T parts. Look to be valve chamber covers? Anyone know what they fit? Thank you

My 1912 is not at my place so I can't measure, but they look a lot like one of the valve cover doors on my 12 engine.

I was thinking the only difference in some of the earlier T 11-21 2 valve chamber doors was the thickness and the overall size was the same.

These are much taller than T. Maybe N, R, S?

If not early auto related they could be valve or crankcase covers for early air compressors, pumps and etc. Could be they were put in among old car parts over time.
