Re: no brake lights
For some unknown reason Henry routed the power to the stop light switch through the light bale, where there can be electrical faults due to the nature of the construction, especially if it is a reproduction. If you are out on the road and a short circuit occurs in the light bale and blows the fuse you can disconnect the wire that runs from the generator to the light bale, and continue on your way during daylight hours. However, you will not have stop lights. A very easy and prudent modification to incorporate is to disconnect the wire at the stop light switch that comes from the light bale, fold it back and wrap black take around it. Run a new wire from where the old wire was removed to the fuse or to one of the terminal lugs on the firewall. this makes the stop light switch independent from the light bale and very easy to trouble shoot. It also allows you to continue on with power disconnected to the light bale during daylight hours and still have stop lights.
