Paula, You can certainly find a similar spring at a hardware store. That brake light switch is one of the toughest parts to see and get at. The grounding issue is typically going to be at the housing

The Crosley engine was designed by Lloyd Taylor; Google him (and maybe add the word Crosley or engine). There is quite a bit of background info, but I'm not sure if there is anything detailing

Crosley Fans, I work for a contractor that is interested in innovative ways of making an engine block, specifically methods that don't require casting. I immediately thought of the COBRA. Are there

The genuine Crosley optional right side tail light had only a single filament bulb so no stop light in it. At least that is the way it was on the 1948 station wagon and 1947 sedan I owned back in the

In case it matters - this car has only the one tail light and in there is only one bulb. I appreciate all the comments. I have to (learn to) check for grounds and also get under that part of the car

Question 1 sounds like a bulb ground problem. When lights are on, the brake light ground through the light circuit but no ground without the tail lights on. Kinda weird but I have seen it before

Wow - I should have noticed the brake light stopped working. However - 1 - Is it odd that when the car lights are "on", the tail light brightens when the brake pedal is pushed, but doesn't light at

That is the brake light switch spring. Mine is broken the same way, but was still attached to the switch on the frame.

I think that one attaches to your brake light sensor . Either that or it is the pedal return spring and the other is for the sensor. Sorry no CC s here just VC s, a FOR, and a Pre War.

Me too!

I’ll certainly be interested if/when you start to sell these. In my experience, the covers are hard to find. - Park

Condolences to Jim's family. He was fun to visit with at the nationals.

Jim Oliver passed last Friday. He was at many National and Regional CAC shows over the years. His 47 Red Roundside was a favorite of mine, but his VC with a clear hood was also a show

Hi Mike, Nice work! I’ve also tried reproducing a couple of items over the years. At one point I made a few rear axle stabilizer bars for Hot Shot and Super Sports. Then a few years ago I made a
