Repop light switch fix

[SAJ]

My 550x19 Excelsior Stahl radials fit the fender well quite well.

Hello CarlG. Yes I bought mine on your recommendation. I always follow your posts with interest. I also have the Vintage Precision water neck after seeing yours.
Have you fitted the Stahls tubeless? I see someone did. What do you think about that?
My wife's Tudor V8 wheel 205 X 16 radials are tubeless.

I installed mine with the tubes that Coker sells/recommends for that tire and the rim liners. The only thing I didn't like about the tubes is the length of the stem. There is barely enough room to get the air chuck on there. I also installed them with balancing beads that I got from Snyder's.

I got a new wiring harness from tyree harris I tried to put it in a new light switch body but not get the thing together reused my old body and still had quite a time getting together but did get it locked did not recall having. that much trouble when i did my 37 pickup.

Same thing here. But new switch and old body. Called in an expert. He ground down the inside of the body lip so the new switch would set lower. Problem fixed. Now to the other car that the starter won't crank. Something is draining the battery. Maybe the new starter switch.

Put a test light in line on one of the battery cables to battery post. When the light goes out your draw is found.. the cut out and brk light switch are common.

Hi SAJ, Sorry for the delay... hope these will work. I also had the same issue on my car with the narrower width 4.50 vs the 600s I currently have.... would not fit the well, so decided to leave as is for now. The sad part is this car belongs to my wife, the good part is she has a tough time with the double clutch.....life is good.

Hello Dutie. That is a beautiful car. Here is mine with black wall Excelsior radials like CARLG.
I am leaving the 2 whitewall as side spares as stated elsewhere. My wife and I think it looks okay like this and the black walls look better on the wheels than the whitewall did.
Thanks for posting your roadster.

SAJ Thanks for your help .I have had this switch apart a dozen times and am now putting in a new switch ,as I think there is a flaw in the old one.The switch leaver was not very positive when you move the leaver .The problem in changing the switch is that you have to remove all the wire to be able to get it through the switch cover ,This is on my 1930 Fordor ,My AR roadster has never gave any trouble in 60 years
