....Or hide it inside the car.

that would be a long coil wire and a lot of tape to undue to reroute the coil feed from the old regulator box. I shortened the switched BW coil feed wire near the alt and ran it through the stock regulator plug and up to one of four hidden relays inside the stock regulator box on the front passenger side strut tower. from the relay the coil feed travles back throw the plug proceeding in a stock manner to the coil by way of a mostly silver way overkill 14ga wire used in the old 600v bc transit trolley buses. the headlights pump and fan are the other relays inside the reg box

WWHHHATTTT...paint the SUPER COIL.......Blasphemy..........

I knew you would feel that way. at least I didn't tell you it was nos and that I took it out of its original packaging

I was thinking of taping off the mint sticker, body black then silver face ?

[bertvorgon]

That's funny...we should have a spoiler alert on here.

That colour combo would be ok, NOT a bright silver though.

[RMS]

haven't painted that coil yet, still not sure on colour. so in the mean time

can you guys confirm the brand of the oem sealed beams for a 68 canadian 510 ?

were they toshiba, koito, wagner canada, philips ,ge

the plan is to use a diamond tip hole saw to cut the filament out. then glue on a h1/h4 bulb receiver....I still have a few sets of 90/130s

Toshiba were the original lights that came in the 510's here, and I would asume stateside as well.

Both of my 68s had at least 2 Toshiba lamps. But who knows if they were original.

[RMS]

that way looks like more work. Toshiba it is then...I have 8 sets of highs but only one combo lamp.
anyone have a working or not Toshiba hi low sealed beam with a #2 embossed on the top ?

[RMS]

so.... no one has a lamp ?

plugging away slowly, waiting on the headliner guy. cut more 3/4in ply templates, got the rear parcel shelf gas tank cover, spare tire, kick pan, 2dr cards, 4dr cards, wagon cards, center console and designed a new long console to work with the long shaft dogleg....its over 3ft long I will use the router to turn out some abs over the next week. I also finished off the templates for the trunk finishers now I just need to collect fasteners and figure out a way of securing with out drilling into the body.

[two_68_510s]

Nice touch!

[Heinrich]

Very Nicely done.

i am in complete awe of the detail.

[McShagger510]

I'll leave a note for myself to check the parts bins for a Toshiba low/high tomorrow.

sometimes it feels like tomorrow will never come

still working on a center console. I start out in cardboard, get it ruffed out, transfer to paper then to wood. I then use a jigsaw to cut out the 3/4 ply template then use a router to cut out the abs. it took four kicks at the can to get the gauge cluster / foot fryer redirector with its bends bent up right. it still needs to be trimmed, covered in leather and some veneer or stainless down the middle.


thought?

[funwithmonkeys]

It's starting to take shape. Just looks like it needs a bit of refinement to me.

[RMS]

made up some stainless holders for the fuel line and bypass line

I also picked up some nib parts too bad their 1000 and 1200 parts
