Headlight fix
Awhile back I posted a problem re my '54 Wasp tripping the headlight breaker. (Thanx for the tips)I removed and cleaned all the contacts, rerwired the headlight buckets (found a loose, bare wire there). I also installed a 6V headlight relay, and now the 'lights are very bright, and stay on!
The relay is not necessary, but I added it as extra insurance for brightness. Bottom line; contacts, especially the dimmer and headlight buckets/radiator support terminal block get corroded w/time. Keep on drivin'!!
