Re: 1931 Tudor Phaeton
The 180A Deluxe Phaeton has rare front seats, and it shares parts with the Victoria and 400A. There is a Model "A" club dedicated to these rare cars. Good luck!

Re: electrical charging problem
These slides embellish Jim/GA's advice. The jumper in the middle slide should cause the Ammeter to react. I urge you to make the Ammeter's cover removable for trouble shooting.
