ok....that was just awesome!!! but how was it done?? it was....kinda like.....well magic...that just made my day, thanks for sharing ;-)

I did the same to my 52 willy's truck....ran 2 extra 12 volt red LED lights on my 6 volt system....tails and brakes...they work great!!! I figured this out after standing in front of a store shelf full of different lights and pressing the "press here" tab on the package to try out the...

That's a really good point that I didn't even think of.... 1929 "A" pick-up - 3 speed stick 1952 willy's truck - 3 speed stick 1967 Chevy truck - 4 speed stick 1968 Ford Corsair - 4 speed stick 1977 Mini 1000 - 4 speed stick 1986 Innocenti turbo - 5 speed stick And my daily driver, a 2003 Golf...

I still can't get over how many pictures show bald tires on the cars

I know a 12v led will work on a 6v system as I have done it before, but that was on a negative ground. As for the positive ground, if it's a simple single wire circuit (like running a single filament bulb) then I don't see why you can't hook it up normally, the led won't know which wire is...

Thanks guy's....I have more hope now...lol

I hope this isn't a stupid question....but does the spring help hold the window up? Both my windows slowly work their way down as you drive along...

wow......lol

you have a carpeted garage???.......lol I knocked over 4 litres of used motor oil in the garage today....would hate to have seen what it would have been like if it was carpeted....I used floor epoxy from a company called armour rock...seems to work well.

oval speedometer.......?

I used easy off oven cleaner on one with good results, and wiped off the numbers on the second one, it really depends on how they stamped it and if they made any sort of indentation in the plate...or just used a stamp of some sort.

I did pretty much the same thing as Tom, I used a little flux on both the filter and valve, then used a small butane torch and soldered the filter to the valve. It didn't take much heat, didn't use very much solder and held tight.

ok...so here's another question...I have noticed several people make comments about how cars coming towards them flash their lights because of how bright the new defectors are....isn't that a bad thing? I know I get irritated when a car goes past me with it's high's on, or stupid aftermarket...

Thats awesome...When I was at Hershey 2 years ago I picked up a metal lock box about 1 foot by 1 foot by 2 feet tall from a older fellow for my 52 willy's truck. It was too heavy to drag around for half the day until lunch so I asked him if I could keep it there, he jokingly said yes, for a...
