How can I tell which are originals? I think the ones on the left are due to flatter bumps. Which pieces are the ones on the left for?

If you are looking for 1928-early 1929 single bulb conduits, they are all the same diameter, as they take only two wires. In the later 1929 through 1931 (Twolight style)conduits, the horn is the same diameter as the earlier conduits. The headlamp conduits are a larger diameter, as they have the capacity to hold two or three wires.(depending on cowl light usage) The original conduits do not have a sharp edge on the inside as do the reproductions.

The pair on the right might be, but all the others are repros. Originals were short like the ones on the right.

Speaking of conduits, Vermin has BEAUTIFUL, SUPPLE conduits, but they're REALLY LONG!! But, they hang down nicely in the shell & I "adjusted" the wiring to compensate & by golly, they look REALLY NICE!
The horn conduit is LONG, also.
