I’ve previously acquired one of these 3 part brass items to engineer an under-the-axle additional wishbone for a 1914 Ford runabout. Well, I bought another ‘14 runabout and need to incorporate another additional wishbone for it. A most necessary safety item for early T s. Thanks

I believe Antique Motor Sports used to make and sell the item you are looking for. They have a presence on ebay.

The old contact information from a few years ago that I have is :
Bill Bohlen , Antique T Motor Sports LLC , 1610 N Cypress ,
La Habra , California, 90631 .
You could try to write Bill and send him a picture, to see if he has any of those brackets left in stock.

George, you could make your own under axle wishbone. The original set-up on my speedster used a modified under axle wishbone. The forged ends were cut off and the tubes flattened , drilled and held in place by the over axle perch nuts. The ball and Y piece on the back was cut and grooved to engage in the yoke of the over axle wishbone. They dimpled two pieces of plough share to go over the ball, bent the sides up/down on each piece, and held them in place with a carriage bolt either side of the ball.
