I am assembling the steering column on my 54 Hornet after rechroming. I need the 12 volt bulb number to replace the FS51 6 volt bulb that lights up the hydramatic shift selector pointer.

thanks
Chris

    Chris,

    When I converted my 54 Hornet to 12 V last summer I used #57 lamps for the Hydramatic shift selector and all dash lights, including the oil and gen lights.

    Hope this helps,
    Tom

    That helps, thanks. I also wonder if anyone is reproducing the steering column seals at the floor pan. One is a molded rubber and the other is just a flat piece that is fabric reinforced rubber.

    Hey Chris, 12 volt bulbs to replace 6 volt ones are as follows; 53 for51, 57 for 55, and 67 for 63. Give me a call if you need other ones. Steve.
