Anyone can guess what this is?

Post by ozbilt »

Fits a Model A Ford. I was checking out the vehicle the other day & saw this piece. Been a long time since I have seen one.

So any guesses what it is?

BTW, the company that made them for Ford is still in business today making products for similar applications .........

Google is very much a friend, I had to get one of these for a mate some time back. It was so nice to see they were reproduced.

Economies of scale I guess. If the markets big enough then its worth the production cost. I just never related it to Model A's but they are a prime example.
