Default Re: New Member---'28 Model A Mods----help!

Regarding the steering wheel: Later 2 tooth steering boxes were sometimes put on early cars. The later steering boxes have a different attachment for the steering wheel. I think some red steering wheels were made to fit later boxes and it looks like there may be one in a plastic bag.

Regarding the voltage regulator: I am surprised to see it there because alternators usually have internal voltage regulators. That may explain the disconnected wire.

Regarding the wiring: Rip everything out and start over. You can buy old looking wires of different gauges and colors from https://restorationstuff.com/
