Re: Blue dot headlight reflectors
Those were the ones I bought but from another company. They are 7 inch and I need 9 inch. They help you with knowing if you left your headlights on or not according to other model a people.

Re: Mitchell Overdrive
I love my Mitchell in my 31 Tudor. I wish I had one in my 28 roadster but will have to wait a long time as they are back logged. I am on back log and suspect wait is 2 or more years.

Re: horn problem ahooga
The horns on my 28 Roadster and 31 Tudor barely worked when I got the cars. I took the horns apart, cleaned them up and oiled them. They are still working great.
