GIVE SCOTT CLEMENTS FIRST DIBS, but I am also looking to buy a pair of 1/2" top saddles with the arms and straps. Only interested in originals.

Easy to turn 5/8 into 1/2 using an old brass spindle bushing and trim off excess. They slide right in easily, mark for hole, remove and drill slightly larger hole, once fitted, paint. To turn back into 5/8 easily remove bushing.

Re: WTB: Top Saddles
The Ford script saddles were only made with the small hole to my knowledge. There are those with as series of dots cast into them. I've never figured out what those dots mean, but there had to be some reason for it. You can't even see those dots when the leather pad is in place, but I had a good friend come over one day and wanted to know if I had an extra with the same number of dots his had, so I was able to help. I believe all the early top saddles used from 13 on up to ? had a rounded bottom. Both of my 1913's have those.

These are on my 23 I’m working on. One has a circle with an M in the middle and one dot. The other just has two dots.
