Hard to find parts for.....almost have to buy a T with it already to replicate the missing parts.

I’ve got a starter if anyone needs one. It turned when hooked to a battery a couple years ago. $100 plus shipping. Why so cheap? Because it is rare! A very hard to find item if you are looking for one, but also hard to sell because there aren’t a bunch of people looking for them...

And tons of this sort of stuff was probably scrapped in the last fifty years just because only a few people knew what it was.

I’ll have to look in the shop later, but I’m pretty sure I have a couple extra blueprint style wiring diagrams for the Gray & Davis electrical system for the Ford T. $20. Email if you’re interested in those and/or the starter.

I believe Gary is looking for help with the Double Unit - Starter and Generator setup , such as Gray-Davis Model 301 .

Does anyone know of a Model T in a Museum or Private Collection that has the Gray -Davis setup mounted into it ? I remember seeing a picture of one some years of a small museum in the USA .
