    Thinking about a AA

    You might need a loading dock and I wouldn't plan on getting where you're going too fast, though.

    Model A ford hand wiper mounting

    Hi Kane, Here is a thread from the AA truck forums that show the bracket and how it was riveted to the windshield frame. You might want to check Berts to see if they have an original but the right person could probably make one, too...

    Battery hookup = smoke, electrical experts needed

    Here is what I think and hope was happening with my stop light switch. The insulator was broken and missing under the rear connection on the switch from being over-tightened. This resulted in the attached copper blade being in contact with the copper blade from the front connection and the...

    Battery hookup = smoke, electrical experts needed

    "OK my guess is that the problem is in the repro light harness switch or the headlight connectors in a head lamp. Especially if you are using repro sockets or connectors." Mike, When I had the stoplight switch disconnected I also tried the headlights and they worked on both low and high...

Also, it may have been more than 10 amps, my head was stuck down by the floorboards disconnecting the battery so 10 amps was secondhand information. I'll try disconnecting the brake switch next time...

    Battery hookup = smoke, electrical experts needed

    I had high hopes I was going to be able to get the AA started today because my mother-in-law and father-in-law were there(it was his dad's truck). We had a nice lunch and my kid's were hoping for a ride. I warned them it might not happen and now, in hindsight, I should have hooked the battery...

    speedo cable install...Q

    Gunmetal(post #2), I'm think you are referring to the AA speedo cables which are 85" long and go through the crossmembers. The cars are routed differently and are only 61-1/2" long.
