Guest F1FanWoodsie Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I know most of this post would fit best in the Maxwell subforum, but I thought some of the questions are general enough that they would be best served here.I'm in the process of restoring a 1910 Maxwell Q3 and am getting very close to the point of starting it, but there are still a few mysteries surrounding the car that I need some help figuring out. I'll put them here in bullet format, and anyone that can help with any of them would be greatly appreciated!- What color spark plug wires should I use? The engine will be black, so what was a good, period color for the cloth-wrapped wires?- Should I use these same wires to go between the Splitdorf mag and the coil?- Where can I get a coil switch? I know a Splitdorf one will be extremely hard to come by, so what would be a good replacement for the time being? It doesn't need to be a box, just a dash-mounted switch.- What would be the best coil and battery to get? The system is a 6V, I've been told, so supposedly it's adequate to get a basic battery and modern coil - but what are some good, cheap options?- Where can I get the seats made for the car? Currently I have a lower body (or will have one, anyway), but I don't have a front or rear seat. Is there a place that can make one (it doesn't have to be perfect as a Maxwell, since those are tough to find)? Any recommendations there would be helpful.I won't overload the boards, so that's all for now. Thanks!---Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcarfudd Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 There's a Yahoo group for Maxwell Briscoes. You might want to join it if you haven't already. You'll be able to pose your questions to a more self-selected group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest F1FanWoodsie Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I am a part of it, indeed, but I thought I would pose some of these questions to a bigger crowd here. Thanks for suggesting it, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
