John , having owned several originals, they are made by Trico, but not common at all. One of the very hardest to find late model T accessories.

Re: Early 1926 headlight, complete for sale
Good question and I believe you are correct. Better get out the books. Pretty bad when you can no longer rely on gray matter

1926 ,27 headlight, complete for sale
Nice solid 1926 1927 style headlamp. Has a very nice brass, nickel plated bezel. I can see two very fine age cracks in the brass. After 100 years, that’s as bad as it will get, and easily restored if desired. The lens looks great as does the silver plated reflector. I’m not going to take it apart to...

Front lowering brackets, additional
Searching back in my memory on the pair of these I had years ago. I believe the original user just used regular stock perches and filled up the space with some steel tube. It looked chunky and lowered the wishbone , too. Anyway, I’m going to machine down a pair of perches, and thought perhaps buyers...

Re: Chicago Aux. Trans.
Craig, I was up to my elbows in them a couple years ago here. ( thanks mike !). There are at least two different types, one appears to be pretty common bearings and the other was a real wild style, something prehistoric looking. They WERE NOT interchangeable, and I had enough of the good modern look...
