October 2023

Fabricated and installed a vacuum reservoir behind the dash using an old propane cylinder. Mounted it just behind the speaker grille. I used hose clamps to secure it with a bolt thru each hose clamp and down thru the dash. Repaired headlight wiring harnesses and main wiring harness with period correct fabric covered wire. I had already added dual contact sockets to the parking lights so added wires for those, and for a 7-wire turn signal switch (turns out I didn‘t use that.)

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
