Re: Top Trim Question?
Thanks, I like easy! I plan to cut and prep them, then separate the pieces and get them painted black before final fitting. Did you need a screw at each end?

I like your light. Do you happen to know the specs of the LEDs you used? Lumens? MCD? I want to make something similar as a lightbar in the back window. Do you have a 6 volt pos ground? Thanks

Re: Seat springs
Thanks for the thoughts. I Think I'll stick with original materials and enjoy the authentic ride. Hog ring pliers sound like the next purchase.

Re: New to Model A - seat question
I have a 28/29 so not sure if this applies but.... check the front legs of the seat that bolt through the floor. They can be installed backwards for short people to reach the pedals.
