6v-to-12v ACCESSORY CONVERTER: There's a perfect place for the converter box in the frame rail at the battery. The side rests on the interior floor of the frame. The mounting tabs fit against the interior wall of the frame.

Drilled a hole in the floor next to the battery box cover for the switch. The wiring harness, that the yellow wire from the converter will follow to the front and into the dashboard area, runs along the frame.

EDIT: The yellow wire is to be connected to the center terminal of the cigarette lighter and the outer housing to the ground, per normal installation. I will then be able to plug in a cigarette lighter adapter to charge the iPad and iPhone. The adapter has an optional USB connector. When not in use, I will plug in my Packard cigarette lighter for looks. The converter box draws about 3mA when not being used.

I received great support from Charles Meyer, who designed and makes the converter www.6to12volt.com

HEAT RISER: I loosened the two nuts from under the car (I could only loosen the closest one from up top) and turned the cup and spring a full 360 degrees counter-clockwise to tighten it. Genuine tension on the counterweight now.
