Carb Control

[JohninKuranda]

I realized a few weeks ago that the 1915 Model T that I have owned for the last 15 years did not have a Carb Control. I have one now for my wooden firewall. But a question.

Is there an accurate way to choose where to drill the hole for the control rod so it matches the right angle for the brass fixture that screws into the firewall? It is a RHD Model T - so I wondered if anyone could say, for instance, it goes "an inch up and two inches across from the top of the steering wheel flange"?

If any RHD owners with a wooden firewall could measure and reply, that would be great. I want to get the position right first attempt!

Being as it is righthand drive, don't know if the control rod was any different. You might post on the Model T Ford Club of America. There are a good number of people that have right hand drive cars for more eyes on the question.

Many thanks for the links. From the blueprints I was able to make out where I needed to drill the hole.
