HI All, I am having and have had an issue with my 30 Tudor turn signals. The Tudor is equipped with a wiring harness that is pre-wired for turn signals. the issue that I have is that the Signal-Stat 9000 control switch indicators work once or twice before the flasher stops sending a signal...

Hi All, I am looking for the mate to this license plate. If you have it please let me know even if you absolutely will not part with it. But if you might....... lets talk.

I noticed on my Murray while working on the sub frames that the rivets holding the rear crossmember to the top side of the frame were keeping the subframe from setting on the frame webbing. I drilled a couple of relief holes at the rivet locations to allow the subframe to set correctly. There...
