Thanks Bill. My kit came with the waterproof boots.

Thanks for the photos Paul. They really helped me and I’m sure others will benefit from them.

Hmm. Good thought. Murphy does seem to stick his neck where it doesn’t belong.

Paul. That is how the harness I made is run; out the body tub into the engine compartment and along the rear valance horizontal mount, then to the fender well. Like Kall, I’m nervous about the wires being near the spinning tire. I was thinking of glassing in the wires to protect them as I think the tail light wires may be far enough from the…[Read more]

Depends on the individual state on how they accomplish titling of the vehicle. There is a SEMA or DOT site that explains it all but not sure if it covers vehicles earlier than 1981. Mine is registered using the VW VIN but that’s here in Georgia.

Steve. The 15#s of your cars VIN may have been assigned by the state. But if you’re looking for the VW VIN, its not on the engine case. The number there is the engine serial number. The VW VIN is stamped into the Tunnel just in front of the shift coupling access plate under the carpet at the back. Lift up the shift coupling access cover carpet…[Read more]

Didn’t see any Fords either. Just a Subaru, and a couple of other cars. No Ford. BUT…I did see a Fjord.

Looks great. I’ll have to order a white one from them. Fitment on the one that was originally with the kit was too tight and it eventually tore.

While connecting the MC brake switch wiring, I found the MC leaking at the top front fitting from the reservoir. The rubber plug that the tube fits through appeared to be the culprit and it was. Just wasn’t pushed in enough. With that fixed, tomorrow I’ll rebelled the brakes. Getting closer.

Decided to go ahead and change the wire colors to match the rest of my made harness. Getting the red (brake) and green (tail) light wires through the bottom of the socket was a learning experience. I had to cut and solder the wires up next to the button connector, then feed them through the socket, then add the heat shrink and feed the wires…[Read more]

I got that solved today when I connected the battery.  Turned the light switch to parking lights and saw the light come on. Stepped on the brake pedal and that’s when I located the correct wire. Oddly enough I had the correct wires on the driver’s side but not the passenger’s side. All good now. Wish they would have used different color wires l…[Read more]

At this point in time I’m only using one brake light switch.

Didn’t they do a covered bridge tour a couple of years ago at Carlisle? I think that’d be cool.
