By Bob Doris, AZ on Friday, April 28, 2017 - 07:15 pm:I added rear turn signals only to my 1926 runabout using the top saddle irons as per Bill. The top saddle iron mounts and tail lights are available from most vendors. In Arizona, knowledge of hand signals is still required and are shown in the driver�s manual. Motorcyclists still use hand signals, especially Harley riders. By Dennis Hoshield; Oak Park MI on Friday, April 28, 2017 - 08:37 pm:I pondered them, but opted for bright LED turn signals and brake lights.... led kits that went inside not-as-old-as-my-t light housings. I used the side cowl lamps for forward facing turn signals (led kits as well)... I hope to convert the headlamps with LED laps as well. I opted for the (hopefully) dependability of wired lamps. I would rather keep everything period... but living in the Detroit area, and not out in the country on quiet roads, safety first. You can't enjoy your car if you're dead... Enjoy your results... as I am sure they will be a vast improvement! Oh... and as a nod to the period... I added an oil lamp as an extra 'running lamp. I have been asked several times if I left my light on.... :-) By Mark Gregush Portland Oregon on Friday, April 28, 2017 - 09:14 pm:For wired units, check your state rules, depending on your state, if you have them on the rear you have to have them on the front and they have to work and be used once you install them. I know someone that has the ones meant for cars/trucks that have the magnetic base and work like the bike type but with a longer transmission of signal, he loves them and can be moved from car to car. http://smartsignals.com/tech/ https://www.google.com/search?q=SmartSignals&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 By Rod Barrett - Anderson, IN on Friday, April 28, 2017 - 09:43 pm:http://www.theegyptgarage.com By Donald Conklin on Friday, April 28, 2017 - 10:29 pm:Check out the electronic turn signal modules from Speedway Motors, part no. 910-64050 or 910-64070.

Amazon.com: New Sign BRIDGE OUT Road Street Warning Traffic Sign 12x12 inchs Warning sign : Home & Kitchen.
It is a wooden support particularly aesthetic, it allows to highlight the moon that lights up autonomously on its base. It is an excellent way of decoration in a modern room or on the led TV cabinet for example. The support makes it possible to have the moon slightly raised which allows to have a very homogeneous diffusion of light on the bedside table or on your dresser. The illusion of the star illuminated by the sun is then very well rendered.
As you say, many/most folks do not recognize hand signals. The same is true of most of the turn signals available for T Fords today. I speak of the lights not the wiring and such. The lights are very small and not bright like modern cars. In 2017 people are looking at large, bright lights. So, before you decide on one check to see if it can be seen. If it is small and dim, why use it ? Make your own. I used a pair of '23-'25 brake lights suspended from the top saddle irons on my touring. Front lights are about the same size with amber lenses from a struck stop chrome shop. I also cut amber lenses foir my rear lights. Wiring is simple and the 6 v flasher came from Autozone. Switch is a DPST from an electrical shop. Just make sure your signals can be seen.

As you can see in the photo, I used individual wires, but they'll would look much better once I encase them in a fabric loom (such as you have on your headlights). _Though historically incorrect, they'll be neat, unobtrusive, and to a non-expert, will look correct. Because my side-lamps didn't come with wick-knobs, I was able to avoid drilling the precious metal by running the wires through the existing wick-knob holes. Even the very short, discreet run of wires between the lamps and the upholstered wall would probably send the purist into a fit of apoplexy, but that's his problem. _You can put safety first and still present a nice, neat appearance. A left-hand-drive touring car or roadster doesn't absolutely need turn-signals, assuming you do most of your driving during the daytime, with your top down, but from a right-hand-drive car, mirror-image turn signals will only confuse other drivers. _In an enclosed car, hand signals can only be seen from your left side, so any driver to your right rear corner won't know that you're about to change lanes in his direction. _And of course, nobody sees hand signals at night.

I added rear turn signals only to my 1926 runabout using the top saddle irons as per Bill. The top saddle iron mounts and tail lights are available from most vendors. In Arizona, knowledge of hand signals is still required and are shown in the driver�s manual. Motorcyclists still use hand signals, especially Harley riders.

Lightup moonfor wall
Decorate home, kids bedroom, living room, dining room, office, college dorm and create a wonderful atmosphere beyond your expectations.

No particular surprise here the lamp is made of molded plastic. It is a perfect replica of the moon with its craters. The advantage is that it does not break and does not heat up. You can leave the lamp safely in the children’s room without the risk of electrocution. The lamp works on 12V and does not pose any electrical risk for the youngest. It is even a playful object that the little ones will be able to roll around in the room. Finally, the base is made of wood, here choose a natural wood more beautiful and pleasant to the touch.

Unlike other cheap moonlight, SEGOAL 26 + HRS moon light went through 3D printing process to ensure the surface of each meteorite crater same with NASA satellite images. The lamp is made from DURABLE&SUPERIOR PLA, the best material for 3D printing. After a high altitude test, dropping within a height of 6.5 feet will not cause damage to the star lamp.

CrescentMoonLamp
This is the sensitive point of the different models you will find on the internet. On the one hand the moon lamp is autonomous, that is to say that it works with an integrated battery. You must recharge this battery with a usb cable for optimal use. Know that a 500 Mah battery will have a light capacity of about 9 hours. The charging time of the moon lamp will be around 3 hours. A tip charge your lamp during the day for use in the evening in the dark the effect is striking.

Astronomy is a leisure activity that is both fun and educational, whether, for children or adults, space with its stars and planets remains fascinating and mysterious. So when decoration can be combined with passion, don’t hesitate for a second. The moon lamp is the bedside lamp which makes it possible to combine the two. You have at the same time alighting for the bedside table and an educational tool that will allow long discussions with the children.
By Mark Gregush Portland Oregon on Friday, April 28, 2017 - 09:14 pm:For wired units, check your state rules, depending on your state, if you have them on the rear you have to have them on the front and they have to work and be used once you install them. I know someone that has the ones meant for cars/trucks that have the magnetic base and work like the bike type but with a longer transmission of signal, he loves them and can be moved from car to car. http://smartsignals.com/tech/ https://www.google.com/search?q=SmartSignals&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 By Rod Barrett - Anderson, IN on Friday, April 28, 2017 - 09:43 pm:http://www.theegyptgarage.com By Donald Conklin on Friday, April 28, 2017 - 10:29 pm:Check out the electronic turn signal modules from Speedway Motors, part no. 910-64050 or 910-64070. The turn signals will stay on from about 3 to 45 seconds in proportion to how long you hold the switch. They can be turned off at any point by momentarily hitting the switch.

Please recommend a turn signal unit that is best for a Model T. I would prefer a modern wireless model, similar to the ones used on bicycles. But the bicycle sending unit doesn't seem to transmit beyond 5 feet though. Been using arm signals but I notice that most younger drivers do not know the meaning. What do you use? Thanks for all comments. By steven miller on Friday, April 28, 2017 - 06:44 pm:See old thread. A do it your self cheaply. http://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages/257047/320190.html Thanks to Frank Harris. By Bill Alexander in Albion, Maine on Friday, April 28, 2017 - 06:51 pm:As you say, many/most folks do not recognize hand signals. The same is true of most of the turn signals available for T Fords today. I speak of the lights not the wiring and such. The lights are very small and not bright like modern cars. In 2017 people are looking at large, bright lights. So, before you decide on one check to see if it can be seen. If it is small and dim, why use it ? Make your own. I used a pair of '23-'25 brake lights suspended from the top saddle irons on my touring. Front lights are about the same size with amber lenses from a struck stop chrome shop. I also cut amber lenses foir my rear lights. Wiring is simple and the 6 v flasher came from Autozone. Switch is a DPST from an electrical shop. Just make sure your signals can be seen. By Bob Doris, AZ on Friday, April 28, 2017 - 07:15 pm:I added rear turn signals only to my 1926 runabout using the top saddle irons as per Bill. The top saddle iron mounts and tail lights are available from most vendors. In Arizona, knowledge of hand signals is still required and are shown in the driver�s manual. Motorcyclists still use hand signals, especially Harley riders. By Dennis Hoshield; Oak Park MI on Friday, April 28, 2017 - 08:37 pm:I pondered them, but opted for bright LED turn signals and brake lights.... led kits that went inside not-as-old-as-my-t light housings. I used the side cowl lamps for forward facing turn signals (led kits as well)... I hope to convert the headlamps with LED laps as well. I opted for the (hopefully) dependability of wired lamps. I would rather keep everything period... but living in the Detroit area, and not out in the country on quiet roads, safety first. You can't enjoy your car if you're dead... Enjoy your results... as I am sure they will be a vast improvement! Oh... and as a nod to the period... I added an oil lamp as an extra 'running lamp. I have been asked several times if I left my light on.... :-) By Mark Gregush Portland Oregon on Friday, April 28, 2017 - 09:14 pm:For wired units, check your state rules, depending on your state, if you have them on the rear you have to have them on the front and they have to work and be used once you install them. I know someone that has the ones meant for cars/trucks that have the magnetic base and work like the bike type but with a longer transmission of signal, he loves them and can be moved from car to car. http://smartsignals.com/tech/ https://www.google.com/search?q=SmartSignals&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 By Rod Barrett - Anderson, IN on Friday, April 28, 2017 - 09:43 pm:http://www.theegyptgarage.com By Donald Conklin on Friday, April 28, 2017 - 10:29 pm:Check out the electronic turn signal modules from Speedway Motors, part no. 910-64050 or 910-64070.

The moon lamp has become a trendy object that can be found in the children’s room, but it is also a decorative object that finds its place in the living room and will illuminate and highlight your room at the same time. Choosing your moon lamp requires taking into consideration a few elements to make the best possible choice. We will try to decipher the criteria that will allow you to buy the best moon lamp.

It is thus an object of average size which is posed on the base envisaged for this purpose. This lamp can be used as a led night light for example to help children to fall asleep. Note that the moon lamp is independent of the support and you can move it wherever you want. Some people use it to read a book at night in bed without disturbing their partner.
Imagine a lamp in the shape of a moon with the whole moon map on it. The particularly well realized relief allows a particularly realistic rendering of our natural satellite. The moon lamp is not only a decorative lamp, it is also a pedagogical way to approach sensitive subjects with the youngest. For example to explain to them how tides work thanks to the moon or even eclipses.
The moon lamp works thanks to the led technology and this is the interest of the product. Because of a certain transparency you will be able to choose specific color modes for the moon. Thus the gray will give a natural preview while the orange yellow can simulate the full moon.

The turn signals will stay on from about 3 to 45 seconds in proportion to how long you hold the switch. They can be turned off at any point by momentarily hitting the switch. The built in timer stops while your foot is on the brake. These are neat devices, I have them on 3 vehicles. They also include 4 way flashers. The down side is they are 12 volt. By Rod Barrett - Anderson, IN on Saturday, April 29, 2017 - 03:24 am:This thread was requesting wireless turn signals. Be very careful installing ANY type of electronic turn signals. Model T's with their standard coils emit electrical interference. I have the Egypt Garage unit mounted on my 1910 and they work great. The only disadvantage is they don't turn off automatically.

By Bill Alexander in Albion, Maine on Friday, April 28, 2017 - 06:51 pm:As you say, many/most folks do not recognize hand signals. The same is true of most of the turn signals available for T Fords today. I speak of the lights not the wiring and such. The lights are very small and not bright like modern cars. In 2017 people are looking at large, bright lights. So, before you decide on one check to see if it can be seen. If it is small and dim, why use it ? Make your own. I used a pair of '23-'25 brake lights suspended from the top saddle irons on my touring. Front lights are about the same size with amber lenses from a struck stop chrome shop. I also cut amber lenses foir my rear lights. Wiring is simple and the 6 v flasher came from Autozone. Switch is a DPST from an electrical shop. Just make sure your signals can be seen.

I know someone that has the ones meant for cars/trucks that have the magnetic base and work like the bike type but with a longer transmission of signal, he loves them and can be moved from car to car. http://smartsignals.com/tech/ https://www.google.com/search?q=SmartSignals&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 By Rod Barrett - Anderson, IN on Friday, April 28, 2017 - 09:43 pm:http://www.theegyptgarage.com By Donald Conklin on Friday, April 28, 2017 - 10:29 pm:Check out the electronic turn signal modules from Speedway Motors, part no. 910-64050 or 910-64070. The turn signals will stay on from about 3 to 45 seconds in proportion to how long you hold the switch. They can be turned off at any point by momentarily hitting the switch. The built in timer stops while your foot is on the brake. These are neat devices, I have them on 3 vehicles. They also include 4 way flashers. The down side is they are 12 volt. By Rod Barrett - Anderson, IN on Saturday, April 29, 2017 - 03:24 am:This thread was requesting wireless turn signals. Be very careful installing ANY type of electronic turn signals. Model T's with their standard coils emit electrical interference. I have the Egypt Garage unit mounted on my 1910 and they work great. The only disadvantage is they don't turn off automatically.

Once you've got the lamps mounted, you can choose to do the heretical thing and drill holes so as to hide the wires between the sheet-metal and upholstery (and if you do, use heavy-gauge wires that won't get hot), or you can avoid putting non-historical holes in your historical vehicle and instead, run the wires on the outside. _From a purist's point of view, turn-signals don't belong on a Model T anyway, so a neatly executed, short run of wires won't make matters any worse.

Because my side-lamps didn't come with wick-knobs, I was able to avoid drilling the precious metal by running the wires through the existing wick-knob holes. Even the very short, discreet run of wires between the lamps and the upholstered wall would probably send the purist into a fit of apoplexy, but that's his problem. _You can put safety first and still present a nice, neat appearance.

This is the advantage of the led, it allows a wide choice of colors. The technology used in the moon lamp and the led SMD, of course here no led SMD bulb in the lamp, but simply the small led chips. Coupled with a RGB controller (multi colors) you will be able to control your lamp remotely. So you can adjust the lighting power, the moon lamp is dimmable. If you have read our article about the living color of philips you will find the same functions of color change on the moon lamp.

See old thread. A do it your self cheaply. http://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages/257047/320190.html Thanks to Frank Harris. By Bill Alexander in Albion, Maine on Friday, April 28, 2017 - 06:51 pm:As you say, many/most folks do not recognize hand signals. The same is true of most of the turn signals available for T Fords today. I speak of the lights not the wiring and such. The lights are very small and not bright like modern cars. In 2017 people are looking at large, bright lights. So, before you decide on one check to see if it can be seen. If it is small and dim, why use it ? Make your own. I used a pair of '23-'25 brake lights suspended from the top saddle irons on my touring. Front lights are about the same size with amber lenses from a struck stop chrome shop. I also cut amber lenses foir my rear lights. Wiring is simple and the 6 v flasher came from Autozone. Switch is a DPST from an electrical shop. Just make sure your signals can be seen. By Bob Doris, AZ on Friday, April 28, 2017 - 07:15 pm:I added rear turn signals only to my 1926 runabout using the top saddle irons as per Bill. The top saddle iron mounts and tail lights are available from most vendors. In Arizona, knowledge of hand signals is still required and are shown in the driver�s manual. Motorcyclists still use hand signals, especially Harley riders. By Dennis Hoshield; Oak Park MI on Friday, April 28, 2017 - 08:37 pm:I pondered them, but opted for bright LED turn signals and brake lights.... led kits that went inside not-as-old-as-my-t light housings.

The built in timer stops while your foot is on the brake. These are neat devices, I have them on 3 vehicles. They also include 4 way flashers. The down side is they are 12 volt. By Rod Barrett - Anderson, IN on Saturday, April 29, 2017 - 03:24 am:This thread was requesting wireless turn signals. Be very careful installing ANY type of electronic turn signals. Model T's with their standard coils emit electrical interference. I have the Egypt Garage unit mounted on my 1910 and they work great. The only disadvantage is they don't turn off automatically.

Here's their outdated video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_gM6Ii9Vz4 I hated the idea of doing things to my car that would render it less original, but came to the conclusion that the kindest thing I could do for a daily-driver is protect it from other traffic. _Among other things, that meant tail lights, brake lights, turn signals and 4-way flashers. _I tried to add these in a non-permanent, unobtrusive way. Here's what I came up with for my 1915 Touring: I added a pair of bolt-on lights to the saddle arms and they're easily removed. _They do triple duty as tail lights, turn signals and brake lights. _My kerosene tail light is also wired up to come on with the headlights and serve as a brakelight. All my kerosene lanterns are now equipped with bulb sockets and so, I have turn signals in all four corners. _Sadly, the person who manufactured these socket adapter kits passed away, so it's now necessary to purchase the parts separately from Pep Boys or some other outlet and, with a length of wire clothes-hanger, solder an adapter together. The brain-box for the turn-signal system came from some very nice folks at "Tickin' Through Time" and it fits very nicely in the rear seat storage compartment. My turn signal switch is hidden in the bracket that holds my klaxon horn to the fake door. I also purchased a 4-way flasher harness from Tickin Through Time and it simply splices into their turn-signal brain-box. _You can hide the on-off button anywhere. _Here's their web address: http://ronsmachineshop.com/Hidden_Turn_Signal_Kits.html Brake light switches are available from any of the usual Model T supply outlets and come in a couple of different configurations, but trust me, you want John Regan's "Fun Projects" version. _His is so much better than the overseas-made unit, it's not even funny (See? You're not laughing, are you?). Anyway, as you can see, the originality of my car was preserved and all of this lighting stuff and wiring can simply be unbolted and removed (but you won't want to remove it). Once you've got the lamps mounted, you can choose to do the heretical thing and drill holes so as to hide the wires between the sheet-metal and upholstery (and if you do, use heavy-gauge wires that won't get hot), or you can avoid putting non-historical holes in your historical vehicle and instead, run the wires on the outside. _From a purist's point of view, turn-signals don't belong on a Model T anyway, so a neatly executed, short run of wires won't make matters any worse. As you can see in the photo, I used individual wires, but they'll would look much better once I encase them in a fabric loom (such as you have on your headlights). _Though historically incorrect, they'll be neat, unobtrusive, and to a non-expert, will look correct. Because my side-lamps didn't come with wick-knobs, I was able to avoid drilling the precious metal by running the wires through the existing wick-knob holes. Even the very short, discreet run of wires between the lamps and the upholstered wall would probably send the purist into a fit of apoplexy, but that's his problem. _You can put safety first and still present a nice, neat appearance. A left-hand-drive touring car or roadster doesn't absolutely need turn-signals, assuming you do most of your driving during the daytime, with your top down, but from a right-hand-drive car, mirror-image turn signals will only confuse other drivers. _In an enclosed car, hand signals can only be seen from your left side, so any driver to your right rear corner won't know that you're about to change lanes in his direction. _And of course, nobody sees hand signals at night.

By Frank Seress, Prescott Az. on Saturday, April 29, 2017 - 12:06 pm:I bought a set of 6 volt LED lights for my 18 centerdoor ten years ago. Worked well and bright.

For wired units, check your state rules, depending on your state, if you have them on the rear you have to have them on the front and they have to work and be used once you install them.
