Projects Under dash mounted cigar lighters

Well if no one else lays claim to it sell it to me

 

The one in my Avatar is mounted under the dash pointing down. Have to feel for it. Works great.

 

That is sweet. I have been lightly scouring for one for my ‘48 F1.

 

There on eBay for $15.99. Just google dash cigarette mount and a pic will come up. Click on pic also it says free shipping.

 

One on eBay for $13.71 and free shipping.

 

And outside the tires!

 

Dave, you are next in line brother. Mitch

 

Thanks man , be safe

 

Sorry Dave. It went to Jeff.. I'll dig around and see if I got anything else that'll "blow yet skirt up"... Mitvh

 

Thanks so much , this is what Hot Rodding is all about .

 

It arrived today and will be going in tomorrow,it will look like it belongs there.

 

Its in and working,now I need to find another to put in my 55 Sunliner since it has one of those modern versions in it.

 

How big is it fused?

 

10 amp

 

In late 1959,I added a lighter plug n lighter,in the front of bench seat lip,just under the seat. Mostly for a spotlight plus I kept behind the seat. I never smoked,as a Gal. of gas was about some cost,an that was more needed. Being able to light a pretty gal's smoke was OK too. Now days it can charge my cell phone f needed.

 

Its just going to charge the phone.

 

I looks great there Jeff, lots nicer than in my tool box!! Good luck finding another, gotta be another one out there I'm sure. Mitch.

 

A lot of today's power cords don't fit the old car cigarette lighters. (Loose fit) Check before you install. The option HRP showed gives you 2 USB ports which work with just about anything nowadays. (Available on Amazon. ) I mounted mine under the front edge of my seat. Nobody sees it and you can lay the phone or iPod on the seat without the cord dangling from the dash.

 

I still have gas tank under the seat so limited to under the dash for now and my charger fits it,it has a normal universal lighter and might be newer then it looks.

 

Yep, I love my cigars. In my old Sedan Deliv...left was headlights, right was interior lights, center was cigar lighter

 

On my '60 I found a spot where an A/C switch would have been mounted in the dash. Installed a power point, all newer cars have them(junkyard) then I made a dummy plug with a stock knob as on the rest in the dash. when not in use it looks like a factory knob.

 

The bracket shown comes from a 1941 Ford, it holds the heater switch.

Use a motorcycle USB charger [which has a built in on-off switch, so it can be connected to 12v live]


We mounted one inside the glovebox of our 57
