1911 left side steering arm part#
Quick question for a 1911 Model T left side steering arm. Should the part number be T270 or the T270 A, I have both want to make sure I put on the correct one. The car has wrong spindle on it, must have a problem long time ago. still looking for a spindle also.

Tim,
Is one of the steering arms for your spindle have the integrated hole for the speedometer?
My left steering arm is marked T-270-F with a TW mark
My right steering arm that has a hole for the speedometer bracket is marked T-282-F and a TW mark. Both of these arms are in early spindles with a DB mark.
To my understanding the arms can be swapped for either side, especially important if you had a Right hand drive controls.

The right side is correct and has the hole for speedo. The left side has the wrong spindle and spindle arm.
Here is a picture of the arm. Car was built mid Oct. Just try to get it close to correct since I have 2 parts to choose from.

Re: 1911 left side steering arm part#
Tim, the C over H mark was common on the forgings on my Canadian sourced 1915 model T. It was suggested it was forged by Cleveland hardware. The TW mark is likely earlier, a Transue Williams forging. As far as I know, they are interchangeable, so unless you are anal about such details, there should be no problem in using either, and swapping it out at a later date.
