No, don't own a T (or anything vintage at the moment) but the axle is unmistakable. I check these cars out at the shows whenever I can, for little unusual features and accessories like this puzzle's. The best to me are the speedsters, with their wide variety of bodies and vintage speed equipment.

Why, it's one of them new-fangled wheels with demountable rims, so easy to change a flat tire, just undo a few little bolts, slide off the flat, put on the spare, remount the rim and Bob's your uncle, you're back on your journey! It's a miracle I tells ya! :D

Or maybe something else.... ???
