Wiring question

For now, I lumped all the pre-war cars together, I would LOVE for there to be enough demand to split it into groups (hint...hint, post here about your pre-war Singer)

Wiring question

Post by darcy »

Hi, I am about to fit my front light / horn harnesses etc but I am not so certain I am approaching it the right way. There are two attached photos, the original car (including shoe heels for rubber spacers) shows the harness running along the fron cross member on the outside - is this corrcet?

The second photo (red car) shows the harness from the lights disappearing bewteen the guard and the chassis - this I assume would lead to rubbing between the two.

Can someone enlighten this ignorant soul as to the correct fitting, if one exists?

On my '34 9 Sports...my cables too ran across the outside of the front cross member as there was a small junction box mounted there. I also seem to recollect that on my car the head + sidelight cabling ran down the outer edge of the wing support bracket and dropped under the chassis rail at the bottom for it to looped back up under in order for to run along inside the chassis rail. I think I have a picture somewhere...

Mine are the same as Danish'. Under the chassis and up onto the apron between the rad and the motor mounts.

Not wires - but the RED car needs a rubber grommet where the brake pipe goes through the chassis
