The Ford Barn - View Single Post - What is the hardest Model A accessory to find

While working on my steering column, I mistakenly threw away or accidentally dropped my top flange (the unit with the notches in it for spark/gas) in the trash basket. Searching to replace the part was impossible. None, of a large bunch of parts/supply dealers don’t stock or sell this part. Pictorial pages in parts catalogs show the part, but it is not listed for sale.
It was imperative, I needed this item. Posting my dilemma - An “A” owner from -ford barn- wrote back to me and said, to try Bert’s Model A Center (303 293 3673). Wow, they had the part ! $20.00 plus SH , I’m now back in business.
