Model A Accessories After seeing the referral to the "BAT" intake manifold in another thread, It got me to wondering how many members have various "accessories of old" that are either installed on your car or you have collected? Either listed in "Those Wonderful Unauthorized Accessories for the Model A" book or not.
I know a lot have heaters and such but does anyone have the more obscure accessories? I bet some of you guys have some neat 'stuff' I have a Trico vacuum operated defroster fan and a spotlight. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...7db697597b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/2447/3...f00e2dc385.jpg I also have a Wells starter solenoid to replace the foot starter of unknown vintage. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...f1ac2e1a31.jpg |
Re: Model A Accessories There was that guy on the thread a couple weeks ago who had an original Phillips timing advance mechanism.

Re: Model A Accessories I have a sportlight of some kind. Also a tire gage, and a electrical (diagnostic) gage of some kind. I always think those newfangled water/oil/gas canteens on the running boards look cool.

Re: Model A Accessories I have a couple different spotlights, a clock mirror, tire gauge, trunk rack, some manifold heaters and I guess that is all.
Edit: I forgot the real oval porcelain Ford sign. |

I've got a few Model-A accessory goodies, but there mostly stashed away.
However, I do run a "Simmons" Swan Manifold intake manifold on my '31 deluxe roadster.;) Bob-A:D |

I would like to have an airplane mascot. For info about accessories, get this book.

A Moto-Meter "Model-A" steering column mount temperature gauge set up. With all of its mounting accessories, also came with original instructions.:)

I wonder how well the Boyle "Flat Seat" valves works? And can you imagine a Gear Shift Guide? |

This is another item from the "......Unauthorized Accessories for the Model A Ford" book that I have shown. It is a down draft Bendix Stromberg carburetor set up. The ad. for it shows a date of October, 1931. So it was available when the Model-A was still a new car. I've got three intake manifolds, two with Bendix Stromberg in raised letters on them. Two of the Stromberg DXR-2 carbs and one later BXV-2 replacement carb. Someday I hope to restore one of the set ups for my '31 roadster.:cool:

A heater in the winter is always a nice accessory, but some tend to be noisey and expensive

Re: Model A Accessories Heater, indeed!
