Does anyone have a photo of the parts inside of a 1903 enclosed differential

Or what would it take to use Model T parts to make a chain drive car?

Thank you.

Herb,

If you belong to the Early Ford Registry, they have several diminsioned drawings on their site of various early Ford components, once reproduced by Gene Kristoffy. The drawings were his. He was a master machinist, (not something I would say about just anyone). I'm not certain, but wouldn't be surprised, if 1903 differential details may be part of the collection.

From what I understand the EFR website does not exist anymore, that's what prompted setting up the Early Ford Forum here.

If the drawings are there, could you post a link to them?

Thank you
