Excellent Chet,

Keep me posted.

Rusty,  Mine is on with tie wraps so yours is probably more correct.

Chet...

I notice that your liscense plate is on the bumper.  Mine is mounted on the head light bar.  Which is correct?

Rusty,

A Tommy Gun and a Flapper would certainly fit the bill.


Thanks Doug,  I edited out a telephone pole.

Chet...

Scott,

The part arrived today and looks like it should clean up pretty good.  Hopefully the coil still works. That would be a big plus but if not I do have a replacement.

Many Thanks Chet…

I have been trying to get my wife to dress (with me) in period outfits for our weekend drives, no luck so far.

That also works well.  Anything to increase the brake lights is a good thing.   Did they ever come with two tail lights or just the one?  I currently do not have turn signals and that is this winter project.

Rusty,

Here is a thought.  I wired in two tail lights that are attached to wing nut brackets that attach to the rear bumper.  (no holes)  I used the park lights in the headlamp assembly as front flashers.   The rear lights plug into a 4 wire trailer plug hidden out of view by the gas tank.  At car shows I can loosen the wing nuts and remove the tail lights then reinstall for the drive home.

Back in the day, one tail light that was 6 volt was ok, but not by todays standards.  I had installed a new brake light switch and that has gone bad.  I have noticed that many other these pressure switches go bad frequently.  This the update that I did.
I got a mechanical brake light switch from a hot rod shop.  They are used all the time on hot rods and since may rods have the brake pedal thru the floor, it would work here.  It costs around 22 dollars and two holes are drilled thru the floor and mounted by the brake pedal.  Once the pedal travels about 1/2 inch , the switch works.  Took about a hour, not orginal but works well.
The next update is a 6 volt led third brake light.  It is about 3/4 inch high and about 12 inches long.  It has two suction cups that mount to rear window.  The photo shows up better with it mounted in the middle of the window.  The rear seat is removed and the wires are very easliy hidden and then routed thru the drain holes under the seat to the underside of the car.  It is then connected to the brake light.  It could be also used a turn signal as it is two seperate lights.  I have it so that both sides work at once.  Very well hiddened with no "damage" to the car during mounting.   It cost about 60 bucks.
 
I am still waiting on my rad to replaced so this was a simple project.
