Thoughts on wiring a basic '32 hot rod

[Tim Ayers]

Hi All:

I'm going to post this on the HAMB as well, so I understand if it ruffles some feathers.

In a few weeks, I'm going to wire up my '28 AV8 roadster. Reason I said '32 in the thread title is I'm using all '32 stuff.

The wiring is going to basic, but I want it to work without having leads/offshoots of a ready made harness not going anywhere if possible.

Here is what I'm doing and would like it to work as Ford designed:

1) Complete '32 steering column with stock light switch, horn rod, and light "bail" at the end of the box.
2) Guide headlights- no cowl lights
3) Single tail lamp w/brake & tag light
4) Still trying to decide to use foot switch starter or one on the dash

I want it all to be cloth covered wire and look traditional.

I've been looking at what Rhode Island Wiring offers and what to try to get what I need with one call. I'm thinking I just need their main lighting harness and can use cloth covered wire to wire the rest through a fuse block/box set up.

Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Tim
