Re: Model T plans??
Does anyone have dimensions/plans for the wood in a 17-22 T roadster body? I need to build the subfloor for one...to get it bolted to a chassis.
Thanks, Neal |

Re: Model T plans??
I'm into restoring and respoking model T wheels-years 1919 thru 1927. I would love to have the plans for the wood spokes for the 21" and 23" felloes and the 30" non-demountable wheel. I can be contacted at
[email protected] I'm located in Dundee, Illinois |

Re: Model T plans??
David;
There are like about 7 different types of spokes used from 1909 to 1927. The 21 inch, I think were all the same, the 30 steel fellows had two different lengths depending on the rim manufacture and 3 different tenons, 1/2 5/8 and button. The non demountable wheels had about 3 different cross section profile and of course two different lengths of the spokes for front and rear. By time you buy and split the hickory, dry it to the proper moisture content ruff out the blanks, turn them and make some mistakes along the way, you are getting deep in the pockets and time. Some spokes you can buy ready made from several places. google "mtfca wood spokes" . Not trying to dissuade you but there is more then turning a few spokes out from a plan. |

Redmodelt.
I'm not interested in making spokes. I've had one bad experience in purchasing them. They were 3/16" too long and I wasn't about to modify them. The supplier resisted my returning them for credit. (plus I had to pay for return shipping) I want to be able to give any supplier the Ford dimensions to insure receiving a usable product. David |

Re: Model T plans??
So when you built your spokes into a T-pee shape and tried to press them in it was a not go?

Re: Model T plans??
I've played with making them myself. Unless you have some sophisticated equipment and intend to make a large volume of them, it is too labor intensive to be practical.
Perhaps you can find an Amish wheelwright down under. Is hickory wood available at reasonable cost at your location or do you have a viable substitute? |

Re: Model T plans??

Re: Model T plans??
Here's a little info for Ted and David. The Model T parts dealers are great, but their prices for spokes are high. When I assembled a couple of wheels three years ago I got the spokes from Stutzman Wheel for $6.50 each. They were exactly the right size and I had no trouble pressing the wheels. This year I had Stutzman make some new wheels for my roadster. I supplied the hubs, rims, and other metal parts except the stem sleeves. Stutzman supplied those for $5 each. His price for making the wheels with new wood was $170 per wheel.
Stutzman Wheel 33656 County Rd 12 Baltic, OH 43804 (330) 897-1391 |

Re: Model T plans??
They came from a legitimate supplier that many that has many satisfied customers.
I don't believe in bad mouthing a company for one mistake. |

For what it is worth i have wheels on my car with short spokes and some with long spokes. They don't interchange. There was different suppliers.
