Re: Steering play and a hot under dash light bulb unit

I will go back and check if we missed anything on the steering including the center link but unfortunately I don't have a lift available for about two weeks...

Regarding the switch/light unit that is burning hot, it looks like the wires from the switch go to the back of the heater and blower below the dash but I can't see exactly where because the wires disappear behind the unit. So I am still trying to figure out how to turn the thing off. I suppose the easy way would be to disconnect the wires at the switch and tape them but that is not a permanent solution and the heater would not work. Maybe that switch mechanism is just faulty and needs to be replaced but I can't find anything about what these things really looked like originally.

Does anyone know what kind of controls the heaters in the 1940 had and how they functioned? Anything like the picture at the top of this series or is it really an aftermarket add on?

By the way - to inject a bit more into the "circular" arguments about the tires... guess what? I bought radials!!! oh no!!!
