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.

The oval speedometer was used until June of 1930, and could be in a vehicle assembled as much as 2 months after introduction of the round speedometer.[/FONT][/COLOR] RG&JS Page 7 paragraph " DEFINITION OF DATES AND BODY TYPES" lol....thanks 160B...I thought they only had ovals until 1929 then...

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...

I was wondering the same thing....Mine also reads 8-10 amps during the day when charging, but goes to zero with all the lights on, while going down the road...and drops to negative 5-7 when not moving, but at idle...so thats normal then?

Hmmm....I will have to check the bulbs I have, I know the ones in the truck right now have 2 filaments that are in a shape of a V or A...depending on how you are holding them, The new bulbs that I just got which have the higher wattage high, have 1 filament that is in the shape of a V and 1...

1st A was a 29 pick-up....about a month ago...I have driven it a few times, and spent a lot more time wandering out to the garage just to check on it, you know, to make sure its not lonely...lol....I have wanted one for over 30 years and finally got one ;-)

cool....now to wait for the exchange rate to drop, then order some up...lol, thanks guys, much appreciated.

Has any one tried Bratton's newly tooled aluminum reflectors, part #17950? I know some people have had issues with re-pop reflectors from different companies and not being able to focus them right, it looks like Bratton's have built these ones to original ford specs to get rid of the focusing...
