  1. The first photo here shows the weep hole. Putting the mounting casting on top. The lens bezel (steel) can go on either way, so don't really know which is correct. Being that the housing is aluminum, have not really decided if it is car or boat or both. The mounting bracket is also aluminum. The gasket around the glass is either glass setting gimp or old type fabric tape. Did not want to take glass section out, the tape is stuck at the center.

  2. I have got one just like it. Would have been aftermarket. The housing is aluminum. The glass is flat on mine being split down the middle with gaskets on both sides so would be easy to make, well except for the curves. :) Most spot lights of that era just used flat glass anyway. Off hand, I don't see a name on mine. The reflector should split the beam from the single bulb, putting light to both sides. I have the complete mounting bracket for mine. 

  3. Edit your title and show year and location. There are a number of posters from Australia but might not open this post with this title. With the Holden body, the post might have been custom made to fit their car, so don't know if the Dodge ones would fit. I have one post but for a 1920 US body, if that would help, I can post some photos and general information. As far as side curtains, might do as several Model T guys I know, make custom ones. They wanted better driving visibility so went with larger windows.

  4. After doing some research in the MPL, I now think it is a ratio situation. Around April 26, 1922, Dodge went to semi floating rear axle for the Sedans. They have a different bevel/crown gear parts number shown in the MPL. The MPL does not show ratios for the bevel/crown gear, just parts numbers. The repair book does show the ratios, but no year or parts numbers. Making a guess I am inclined to believe that the sedan may have used the 4.545 to 1 while rest of cars got the 4.166 to 1 so would have needed a different speedometer, guessing that would have been the 113H.

    I am going to go with all cars up to July 9, 1923/929894/116 wheelbase, rolling on 32X4 inch tires.

  5. Thanks for posting that info. I did look at it in the Master Parts List. It shows both those number on the same item line but does not differentiate between the two in the following 3 parts number. Both speedometers' model numbers being for MPH with square drive in this case. Final rearend ratio and tire size could be the difference, but that information is not given. More than likely, it will be off, but I am use to that, every car I have, have to do that! LOL Wonder if it is just physical differences, not application differences?

    Looking at a 113H, but the thread for the coupling nut is boogered up. Have to decide if I want to spend the money on it (price is not bad) and try to restore the thread or keep looking. I have the speedometer cable housing so would just need the inner cable. 

    Other option would be to change the drives in the transmission I am going through and keep the NE that is now installed but not hooked up. I would need to find the cable parts only then to hook up. As long as the indicated speed is in the ballpark, I would be happy. 

  6. as a reminder.

    STOP AND READ

  7. I also posted this on the Facebook page.

    Thank you very much for post this information! The OF used on the Ford Model T is pretty much the same carburetor so the important bits are the parts illustrations. Yes I have one which except for the fuel inlet needle seat and one passage plug where it fits to the block it has been pulled apart and passages more or less cleaned. Need to make a new throttle butterfly shaft and find at least the choke part, the rest I can make up.

     

    So, the part that mounts to the body would be P-8712 shown in above parts list is what I would like to find. 

    Thanks

  8. Looking for the elbow(s?) that holds the choke and is mounted to main body of a made for Dodge Brothers Stromberg OD-1 carb. The mounting holes would be approximately 1-7/8" center to center apart. I was hoping the part from my OS-1 would fit but mounting holes are too wide. While there are 4 holes showing, the mount only uses 2.

    Thanks
