Renning Headlight wires

Post by Jed » Sun Jul 14, 2019 4:46 pm

How do I run the headlight wiring through the body to the headlight on a 1920 roadster? Without the Hood landing on It.

On our Canadian sourced cars, the hole in the top of the hood shelf, with the hard rubber grommet, is the last incarnation. Earlier cars had the notch in the side.
