I had wondered what the weakest link was in the headlight circuit. I
plan to build my own custom harness using a modern fuse block, relays in
the headlight and horn circuits, 60 Amp alternator, etc. I do have two
sets of switches from both cars so I have extras to sort through,
hopefully coming up with one good set.
Thanks again,
Mike
