Does anyone happen to know the part no. of the early hub caps? The later type was E27N-1128, but I'm not sure if the previous type is an N or F part no., as the only one we've got (Billy's LH one) doesn't have any markings (nor do any of the others, apart from those that are stamped EBRO).I don't seem to be able to find a parts book for an F or N either, which is odd given how many of them still run.

I've just answered my own question finding an old Fordson parts book on Ebay, until the end of the Cork N the hub cap appears to be part no. F-1603. I suspect there were some earlier part nos. too as there were several caps in the first couple of years. From 1933 to 1945 it would probably have been an N part no. that I haven't found yet.

http://vieux.tracteurs.free.fr/pdf/ford ... achees.pdf Says N-1131 for 1917-1931 with a referral that the old part no was S-101. A 1931 book on that site claims s-101 as well and also states the no. F-1603 for 1917-1926.

Thanks Emiel. It seems strange that the number was changed from 1131 to 1128, but that might have happened before the E27N. Great to know about this parts book for when anyone needs F or N parts.
