This is pretty interesting. Thanks for uploading. I've been debating on building a camp kitchen or chuck box that could ride in the bed and function from there or have attachable legs and set to the side. I like the color matching. Nice work.

It appears to be the original cloth wrapped wire, but converted to 12v. I'll investigate the switch and ammeter like you suggest. Thanks!

I had an issue a couple weeks ago where my headlamps stopped working. I still had running lamps and taillights, but the dash lights would turn off when headlights turned on. I used some wire and bypassed the switch so I could get home figuring the switch went bad. I recently installed new omix light and dimmer switches, matching the wires exactly as removed. However, the same issue remains and now my ignition switch does not kill the motor. The wiring is original, but upgraded to 12v and I'm starting to think maybe the insulation somewhere has worn between two wires. Has anyone experienced something like this before or any suggestions before I start checking everything with the ohmmeter? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the replies and reference photos. I agree that may have some body filler in the holes and will check for mounting location. I may go with a set of reproductions, but this gives me a better idea when shopping. Thanks again.

"Original"-- Technical Questions, Answers, Observations / Correct Side Mirrors?

« on: March 13, 2015, 12:20:24 PM »

One of my 3A's previous owners drilled a hole into the windshield metal and applied square truck mirror and bracket. I've been using this for a while, but would like to consider putting on and original style mirror and and extra for the passenger side. Is there a specific style for the 3A, or would the same used for the GWP and MB be correct? I also do not have any visible mounting location on my body. Any information would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.
