Lights and stuff
After Easter service this morning and the kids doing the bunny basket thing, I went out and puttered around on the Spit. None of the four side running lights were working, and the two license plate lights were out as well. All of them needed new bulbs, and the left plate light had a loose wire. Replacing them was tedious but rewarding.
However, when I pushed the switch to turn them on this evening, I felt something break inside the switch. It had felt stiff ever since I got the car, and it picked now to give up the ghost. I’ll pull it out of the dash tomorrow. I need to replace the hazard switch as well, so it looks like my next order from VickyBrits will be for electrical stuff.
I also worked on putting in the ‘replacement’ horns my Dad gave me with the car. They’re from an ‘88 Sundance, so they’re not original. The factory ‘Clear Hooter’ horns are rusted solid and I haven’t found an easy way to disassemble them. It looks like I need to fab up some kind of bracket to mount the other horns, tho.
I haven’t started the brake or clutch work yet. I think I’m just doing little stuff on the car as a way of procrastinating.
