Folks keep asking about focus, so I got Squeaky Betsy out in the cold misty rain for a quick demo tonight. Her headlights are not aligned correctly, so please don't beat me over the head about that. Hopefully the short video demonstrates the fact that the LED bulbs are focusable...

I was concerned about this early in the design too. It was pointed out to me that the 21/21 - 32/50 bulbs emit like an isotropic emitter (light in all directions). It is brighter up and down than side to side, but light is emitted in all directions from the original bulbs. This means on your...

We first built these with 4300K and, although brighter, they looked just as bad as the original bulbs. Regarding D.O.T. approval, I like what Snyder's says on their website: Nobody seems to sell the D.O.T. approved, factory specified 21-21 bulbs anymore, and I for one, would not want them.

Not my company, but I do work for Logo Lites. The LED emitters were painstakingly designed to be in the exact same location as the two incandescent filament in the original bulb. Moving the LED bulb in and out has the exact same effect as they do on an incandescent since they emit from the...

Logo Lites now sells bright white LED Headlights for Model T, A, and early B Fords. They are as bright as a modern halogen, but pull less current than the 32/50 CP bulb. They focus like the original bulb and fit in the original type socket. There is a video here: https://youtu.be/FA_9u2kWMNk...

Looking for a late 1931 firewall with the indentation for the under-hood fuel cutoff valve. If it matters, I'm putting it on a 5 window coupe.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! You guys saved my backside on this project. 10-32 is the right size for my 30/31 firewalls. Factory D nut, and there is just no way to get a #12 in that hole. I'm glad I didn't assume the earlier models were the same before making the harnesses. It's odd that Mike's...

I don't have access to a 28 or 29, but my both my 30 and 31 firewalls take a 10-32 screw in the clip that secures the generator cutout wire to the firewall at the terminal box. Can anyone tell me if 28/29 also takes a #10/32 screw? Mike's says it's a 12-24 for 1928-1931...

Can anyone tell me a source for the "sideways" ring terminals like the ones on coil wires? (like http://htsmall.macsautoparts.com/assets/macs/images/size/600x/sku/64-21388.jpg) I'm trying to fix up some harness woes on my 31 and would like to put on original looking terminals if possible...

Hey, THANKS guys! VERY helpful! I found two openings there by using a light under the car to shine back up into that area. Are those openings there on all cars 28-31?

In cars WITH cowl lamps, how does the harness get through the firewall from the light switch to the lamp harness in the passenger compartment? In cars WITHOUT cowl lamps (like mine), how did Ford expect shops to get the wire from the light switch to the passenger compartment in this service...

Thanks for the replies so far. When researching the answer myself, I ran across this service bulletin posted in another thread: What was the proper way to get from behind the driver's side cowl panel to the other side of the firewall to connect to the light switch? My car doesn't have cowl...

Just above the clutch, there is an oval hole with a small hole above and below it. I have several questions about it. Is that a factory hole? Is it supposed to be plugged or covered? Is something missing on mine that should be in this hole? If it's a factory hole, is it on all models from...

Thanks for all the thoughtful replies. What a nice forum! Ron: thanks SO MUCH for the video. I watched it several times. Thanks, Kyle

I've had my 1931 Model A for 20 years, and for the last 10 she was in storage. She has maybe 50 miles on her "newly rebuilt" motor from 20 years ago. In the last few months I got her out of storage and fixed the problems that were keeping her off the road. Fluids were fine and she moves...
