My 1930 Model A

So it’s been a little bit since I’ve put an update on here. I finally figured out why my battery would always be drained after sitting for a couple of days. There was no insulators on the instrument cluster wiring harness so it was shorting our constantly. I got that fixed, just need to get a new ammeter to replace the burned up repop.

I also found a Sparton horn to replace my 6v JC Whitney horn that the previous owner had purchased. Model: AF. No51931. 6v

Getting this cleaned up for use and trying to get the horn rod wiring replaced led to my next trouble spot. My horn rod/light switch broke.

It’s always been really tight and even with the copper bushing you can get from the suppliers, it would always change positions when turning corners. While it was out I noticed it had been rigged together at some point. I measured it at 45-3/4”. I have the Gemmer steering box on my car. Should I have the 45-31/32” horn rod and that’s why it’s always been too tight?
