For what year car?

The selection and configuration of tools varied somewhat year to year, as well as the bag that they came with. If you have a copy, read the tool section in Bruce McCalley's book "Model T Ford - the Car That Changed the World".

There was someone selling Model T tool kits on Ebay a few months back, but none are listed there at the moment. :(

The MTFCA Encyclopedia has an extensive description of the tools.

Pay attention to the above post! Tools changed often, so you have to know what came with your year.

Hi Ignacio. I likely have many of the tools you are looking for. I am up in Kingwood by Bush IAH. Send me a PM with your phone number and let's talk.

All the best,

Ignacio, if you are willing to build up a proper tool kit for a 1916 piece by piece, I have some pieces that would provide a good start. You will still need to find an original adjustable wrench, a pair of tire irons, a double ended short wrench, an oil can, a hubcap wrench, and maybe a few other pieces.

My pieces are: A reproduction tool bag with individual pockets, an original Ford screwdriver, and a closed-end spark plug wrench. I will also include the period aftermarket ratcheting band wrench shown if you want it (not in the original tool kit, but very handy).

PM me if you want them and I will reply with a price and payment instructions. Inquiries from other snipers will be ignored! :)
