Re: Cowl lights
The cowl cross brace has a hole in that the cowl lamp nut goes thru. Buy the wood blocks the vendors sell and you can center the hole. They also sell a centering tool.

Re: Universal Tires
I got 7,800 miles on my Universals on my 31 slant Town Sedan. The Goodyears lasted 14,500 before they were replaced last year. I now have European Classic so I'll see how long they last.
