Remember, the magneto is putting out variable frequency / variable voltage AC, not DC. You will probably need a diode in the circuit and that will cause a .7v DC drop.

I just measured several cars here at the Piquette Plant. The splash aprons were all 57" at the top edge. I measured 1912 Runabout and Touring, and 1914, 1915 and 1916 Tourings

Pep, Look on Ebay search "lufkin micrometer 1942" and there are several at decent prices.

P, H and K stand for Prudden, Hayes and Kelsey. Did other companies make wheels for the Ford cars before 1911? From the Model A to the early Model Ts.

When did the wheel manufacturers start using embossed letters on the splice plates? Looking at many of the cars here at the Ford Piquette Plant, I see many of the wheels have no letter at all on the Models A through S. Some other cars have an H (Hayes) or P (Prudden) on the splice plate.
