Auto Fair in Charlotte Part 2

Next in the auto swap meet parts pics we have from top to bottom:  wind wing brackets, windshield wing nuts, hood rubber bumpers and corners, rumble seat lid alignment plates, inside door handles, gas tank flame arrestor and strainer, and the hand brake linkage. 

Trim.


  Next we have new stainless steel rear light covers, master disconnect switch for the battery and a new 12volt negative ground alternator, pulley and installation brackets.

Lighting.

  Then wiring components consisting of: three sizes of original wire loom, a wiring harness for the junction box to instrument panel, wire clips to hold the wiring to the frame, new light sockets for the front and rear turn signals and brake lights, new LED brake and turn signal light bulbs, a led turn signal flasher and wiring, a turn signal switch and wiring diagram, and an instrument panel light fixture.

Wiring parts.

  I saved the best for last..... Walt found me an original Sparton Ah OOgah horn in like new shape and it sounds so nice.  Ten minutes later I found a bracket to fit it to the headlight bar.  He had to do some serious parts trading to get this for me and I owe him big time!  Thanks Walt!    

Sparton horn.
Then I found a Motometer for the radiator. I didn't think I would find one at a reasonable price but I did. 


Motometer.

So last week was highly successful in the hunt for parts and I met some really nice people from all over the US in the process.  Here's a good Auto Fair story: When I found the rear differential it was a half mile from our vendor spot and cars weren't allowed in yet.  I saw a man pulling a wagon down our row and asked if I could borrow it to haul my differential back to our tent.  I offered him a deposit to use it but he said just bring it to our space when you are done.  So I borrowed his wagon, hauled my parts and delivered it back to his space.  What a great group of people!  Another great week at the old car restoration business!  Steve
