keiser31 Member Registered: 12/06/04 Posts: 529 Loc: Oregon, USA	Does anyone know what this nickel plated T-handle goes to or even what it does?? I was thinking some sort of seat adjustment handle maybe? The connection on the end is of the swivel ball and socket type.

Layden B Member Registered: 08/08/04 Posts: 450	Fitting on the end looks like a control swivel used on distributors and carburetors, just how big is this handle? Lack of perspective suggests it could be smaller than would be guessed.

keiser31 Member Registered: 12/06/04 Posts: 529 Loc: Oregon, USA	The top of the "T" is about 2 3/4" long. From top to swivel connection is about 4 3/4" long. _________________________ 1931 Dodge Brothers DH6 business coupe wire wheels 1931 Dodge Brothers DH6 business coupe wood wheels (my 1st car) 1967 Dodge A100 compact pickup
