Identifying a K R Wilson fixture
Check this out. Seems like they're made for reaming out triple gear bushings. But just doesn't make sense. Anyone know what they're designed for? Found 'em on eBay, pretty cheap. I already had the Wilson reamer, which I tested, and iit fits inside the fixture bores.

Service tools were also evolving just like the cars.

Re: Identifying a K R Wilson fixture
It could have been the forerunner of the KR Wilson transmission jig that's commonly seen. KR Wilson is both embossed on the fixture and there is a red label as well. One side of the triple gear fits in the hole with about 10 thou clearance. The hole is recessed about 2".
I'll change clamps and make a retaining plate. Should work fine. As with thre more common variety, the exact placement of the gear in the fixture will be determined by the taper in the reamer.
Thanks to Adam who alerted me to these pieces on eBay.

Re: Identifying a K R Wilson fixture
What is the casting number? I am thinking the red paint is later then the Model T. They could be something for later in the Model A/V8 era. Don't know but the number would help.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas!

No casting number I can find. Just KR Wilson
Buffalo, NY embossed and the red stamp.
