Mpgp1999 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I am replacing every wire with period correct ones(cloth covered). I am trying to figure out the correct colors and gauges. I have the dual armoured taillight wire. Asphalt cloth loom friction tape and linen for the wire wrapping at the eye hooks. I purchased some clamps for the body. What am I missing/doing incorrectly.

JayG Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Best thing is to duplicate what is there (assuming it's there and original). I tried to do that with my 25. Myer's has the wire you just need to determine what colors you need where. I also re-used the round connectors by soldering onto the new wires. You can but the correct bakelite light connectors too. Good luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
