Re: Trivia: Exterior Door Handles?
I will agree as time went onward into the Model T production. Changes were made to make the part less expensive to produce. This made the cost of building the car less expensive and that could be pasted onto the consumer to purchase the Model T at a lower price. I would think the earlier handles tha...

Re: Trivia: Exterior Door Handles?
I was able to find out on the Coupes.
1919-1920 - Had Bail or loop style handles.
1921 - Had "T" style handles.
1922-1923 Had "L" style Handles.
I have been unable to find any reason for the changes.
I feel Ford saw the changes as improvements.

Re: Battery options - 1925 Tudor Sedan
I found this optima battery box to look like an old style battery.
I had to enlarge my battery holder in the car,
Looks original in the car and performs Great,

My car is a 1919 Coupe
With the outlet as it is the exhaust exits between the rear axle and the spare tire carrier
Works Great.
Lots of good info here

Re: Fordite steering wheel repair
Hi again,
I made a jig to hold the wheel.
Started grinding out the seam crack to fill and sand.
Other than a horrible smell and lots of dust, seems to be going well.
Looking forward to the end result.
Thanks again for all the info.

Re: Fordite steering wheel repair
Thanks R.V. for the info. That looks like a nice steering wheel you have there. The wheel I have is the only 15" Fordite wheel with a forged spider I have ever seen. Now I can say after seeing your wheel. That's the only 15" Fordite wheel with a pressed center I have ever seen. Hope to have mine ful...

Re: Fordite steering wheel repair
Thanks R.V. Anderson for the photos. The outside of my wheel has a line around it like yours. Looks like you can see the inside material of the wheel. There is also a line or seam / crack on the inside of the wheel. This is what I was going to cut and fill in an attempt to make it stronger or last l...

Re: Fordite steering wheel repair
Yes,
I have searched Google for Fordite and came up with old automotive paint...
I have also read about it in Bruce McCalley's Model T book.
What is your experience with grinding on it.
Does it melt or cut / grind easily.
Thanks,
Randy

Re: Fordite steering wheel repair
Thanks Henry
I didn't know how this material would react to being ground on.
Looks like sawdust down inside the crack.
