Many years ago I posted here a copy of the Ford print for the 1/0 Model T battery/starter cables
Now I cannot find it!
Anyone got a copy you can direct me to or send me?

Ron: I told you about the company that custom made my cables for me in Redlands. Y&Z's Yesterdays Parts. This isn't the print I know.

Do you mean this ? https://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages/1 ... 1302119578

No.
It is a copy of a original Ford factory drawing T-1891 or T1899 battery to switch and switch to starter cables.
There is note on the drawing similar to this: "1/0 starter cable consisting of 19 strands copper wire, single covered with insulation cambric .012 inches thick. Spiral wound with minimum lap of 1/8 inch, with single stranded corded braid prepared with waterproof saturation. Outer layers of wires to be right-handed lay."

The current reproductions would be adequate if they were the proper length and had the ends installed properly in the proper orientation…

I’m pretty sure you know about how to obtain copies of original Ford drawings from the Ford archives. I would have thought that some where on older forum posts there might be copies but I couldn’t find them. Maybe others might could find them some where on the net besides from Ford.
They probably are available from the Ford Archives if available.
Here’s a link to it. https://www.thehenryford.org/collection ... s-drawings
