Very cool! I'm on the same quests with a '30 Coupe. ~ Carl
Okay, what about wire gauge size? What size would you recommend for the main power to the fuse box and then for other wires. Applications and...

Well I’m back to the gauge pod and I’m pretty happy how things are turning out. Got all my holes cut, indicators and switches mounted and a proper...

Sorcery!!! Okay, so I've updated my schematic (attached and headlight switch arrived in the mail. Slightly A generic vintage-style unit with...
I plan to use the original model A key switch. I guess you’re right about splitting the fuse box. Near info about the diode too! Sent from...
Cool, that's because the diode will only allow the current to pass in on direction, right?!? Also, I would like the main fused box on the...
Couldn't agree more. And I'm pretty good with basic electric, though I always like a more experienced eye reviewing things like this. ...and as...
Thats what I thought. So everything downstream of the fusible link is hot unless it passes through a switched relay.
I like doing things the hard way.
Mimilan, thank you for taking the time to review my schematic, I appreciate it! And I appreciate your write-up below. I've been updating my...
Sounds very wise.
Understood. My question above however is about the master fuse-able link for the whole car. Thanks, Carl
I'm converting the front and rear of my '30 A to 1939 parts for juice brakes, had to hunt down the original parts, but they are out there. I've...
Very helpful info all! So a few more questions. A fuse or fuse-able link from the starter solenoid to the main harness? This would isolate the...
So Bones, you're saying at the very least you would use a circuit breaker for the headlights? And Ziggster, you're saying to fuse the whole...
Yes, I have been pretty faithful to the 1950's schematic, but unless I'm missing something they only have three. On on the headlight switch, one...
Awesome build!! Beautiful car and workmanship. ~ Carl
All helpful and this is worth the price off admission! Thanks Jim. Below is my schematic so far - it's a WiP. Comments welcome. Thanks, Carl
As I plan out the wiring for my flathead powered 30 coupe, I'm wondering which circuits are you guys running fuses on. I'm using a 12v generator...
As posted earlier I have been on a quest to figure out my 1950's Ford steering column with turn signals. The provided schematic was a huge help...
THIS!! ...well at least that how I envision my tach in my head. Achieving this level of beauty might be beyond my levels, but I'm not giving up...
Hi Tim, the indicator lights will be back. In the earlier photo they were juts sitting on top and not mounted yet. I'm waiting for a headlight...
Picked up some bayonet bulb holders from a pinball supplier off ebay, mounted them and benched tested the gauge lights. I’m pleased. [IMG][IMG]...

LOVE IT! ...if I had an airplane hanger I wouldn't sell a thing either. Here are some OT pics for you. 1969 MGB GT 1972 MGB
Okay, another winter project. For the 8BA transplant, I'll need gauges! And with the new steering setup with turn signals I also would like...
Thank you! Good looking A you have there, I like the colors. That MG was a nut and bolt restoration with mild modifications. It was a...
Since I was a boy I always wanted a a Ford coupe, and now I have one. ...and now I want a sedan! WTH?!?! :D Some great cars in this thread! ~ Carl
