Disc wheels, Brass Radiator Parts

[Model T]

Are there new disc wheels available for the T 21" (1926)

Where can brass radiator tank parts be bought? or recommend a shop to rebuild it.

Can a ring gear be added to a non starter ('16) flywheel?

Where would a battery be installed on a '16 touring if done back in the day?

Are engine compartment dust shields/panels available?

Thanks

It is best to change the flywheel to a starter type

Where would a battery be installed on a '16 touring if done back in the day?

Often there was a box on the left running board to contain the battery, It is easy to install a later battery rack under the rear floorboards.

Are engine compartment dust shields/panels available?

Yes, look them up on Lang's, Snyder's, Mac's, etc

I hope this is of some help.

Disc wheels often show up at swap meets. Some need some modifications to fit the Model T.
I have some 29? chevy wheels on a model T. I used a spacer to bring the wheel out to the proper T track width and redrilled and placed the original wood spoke outer ring to cover the original chevy holes. Lots cheaper than those wheels shown on the web site listed above.

I almost forgot, the wheels shown on my profile at the left sometimes show up at swap meets. They are called Disteel and have a special hub with a three lug special plate that holds them on to that special hub. Sometime the complete assembly shows up at swap meets.
