12V access alternatives
 

Since I purchased my '35, 3 years ago and realized that I needed some 12v accessories, headlight to see the road at night, 3rd tail light in the rear window, and a USB port, I found a converter that worked and then I was hard pressed to find a way to mount it. FYI, I was able to make a fuse panel and mount it under the dash. It actually works pretty good, doesn't show and doesn't interfere with any original equipment. I was just wondering if there was any other ideas that was out there and what you did if you did?

probably could use one facing the rear the way people run up on me in traffic. On the highway I put a yellow strobe light on the trunk to warn drivers of my slow speed.

At night I attach this flashing LED. Very bright red or white LED, steady on or flashing. Hook and magnet holds it on the bumper. And the price is right.

You used to be able to get those Free with a Purchase. Once in a while they will have a free coupon.

We share similar ideas on that, I have a bicycle ref flasher on the spare tire that I use. Also a yellow strobe light with magnet that I put on the trunk top if I'm driving on the highway. I'm at 45-50 with approaching traffic somewhere just below 90 mph, crazy on I-95. I try avoid that road of I can!
