  1. My lower harness clamp is actually mounted on one of the steering sector bolts. In half dozen more attempts you may become an expert in the headlight assembly 😉 Dale
  2. Mine go as yours does, tucked up close to the inner fender. Passes right behind the hood latch in a clip then up to the upper hole in radiator support then to l/s light. R/s harness goes up across to r/s on clips attached to rear of grill shell then down to r/s light. My l/s only misses the fan by maybe 1/2 inch. Hope it helps Dale
  3. Looking good. I believe your lights are working correctly as my park light also go out with the headlights on. Now to get them aimed while setting behind them. My reflectors were quite good but not perfect, I picked up a polishing cloth for fine silver (somewhere) had compound in it. Used a straight polishing motion not circular seemed to help. Again looking good!! Dale
  4. I understand your desire for correctness but there is nothing wrong in being able to see those gauges at a glance while driving in the dark.
  5. Don't blame you for wanting to match up the colors but those gauges (lights) are really bright!!
  6. Mine had no external lugs or wiring, or no tag so it may have not been original.
  7. I've been following this restoration with great interest, I have a 36 C8 4door sedan. I was wondering how you came out with the h/l harness as the description stated they were for Ford. I tried some of the 2331 (Wagner I believe) yep clocked wrong. I reworked my original harness and so far no problems. Concerning your generator, I had trouble this fall finally got it checked and mine has thrown solder off the armature. Mine looks just like yours ( well gen & cutout only) I wire only off cutout and back to dash. I will have to look but it seems like the two wires went directly into the cutout. After much indecision I'm going back with a 6v+ alternator.
  8. What a beauty! I use a simple method( for me) Cable out--OD out, cable in OD in.
  9. Try GL1 (mineral oil) not supposed to attack yellow metals (brass). Used this in my Airstream this summer with no negative results. This was used in many older tractors, etc. Good luck
  10. Recently installed a set of the pre focus bulbs (Halogen) Haven't had good enough weather to try them. Going through a 6 volt relay so lets hope for the best.
  11. Try mykmlifestyle.com Installed one of their senders this winter
  12. I have one from www.mykmlifestyle.com . Just installed this winter so no run time but with a partial tank the gauge looks to be accurate. Dale
  13. While replacing the sending unit on my 36 Airstream I've noticed the same thing. Mine is getting cleaned rust treating any surface rust then getting a good coat of semi gloss black. Dale
  14. Available at O'reillys. My local store anyhow. Good hunting.
