Over the years, other names for Ford parts (and other car's parts) have other names attached to them. Such as:

Model A: A Bone, A Model, 4-Banger...
400-A: A-400...
Spindle Bolts: King Pins...
Open Cab Pickup: Roadster Pickup...

and so on.

What other parts or items can you come up with that have a different name other than what Ford attached to them originally.

You Model A'ers from Down Under have unique names for items also in comparison to the USA names...what would they be?

Emergency Brake - Hand Brake
Firewall - Dash Assy
Roof Bow - Rib
Header - Rail (Front)
SubRails - Sill
Headlights - Headlamp
Headlight Bar - Head lamp Support
Brake Light Switch - Stop light Switch
Radiator Apron - Front Splash Shield

Emergency Brake - Hand Brake

I hear that one often. However there is more to the story. In Ford's nomenclature that is true for early-mid 1928. after that the the brake pedal operated the service brakes and the hand brake lever operated the emergency brakes.

Great "quick list" however!!!
