Howard - Thanks for some good options to pursue. I had not seen the battery box inserts on the Ulrich site. One of those might fit in the earlier space with some modification.

I have a new Optima battery for my 1928 526 Sedan. Since they are much smaller than the lead acid 6V, what creative ways have you used to safely install one in the passenger side battery box. I am sure solutions are good for many different models/years with this location for battery.
Thanks, Rob

Based on the photo above mine was black. However, this is a 1928, 526 sedan. I have seen photos from a couple of other 526's and they seemed plain black like mine. No ribbing of any type.

1928 526 Running Board Mat Replacement

I am replacing the running board mat on my 526 sedan. I have found the top material from Restoration Supply but am looking for the material under the mat. From the attached photo it looks like a burlap material. Does anybody have a source for this original material or is there a more modern material that will work better?
Any experience/help will be appreciated. Rob

Here are photos from under my dash taken today. It appears I am missing an outer cover that goes behind the gages. The lights plug into this cover and the cover helps direct the light to the openings in the gages for light to go into. Clearly it seems like the speedometer was added later. The galvanized strap holding it in is not original. My fuel gage housing seems to be corroded.

Thank you. The 526 does not seem to have a map light. It has a pull-out cigar lighter on the passenger side of the dash, though. I will check underneath and see what type of hole(s) I find.

Gar- Thank you for the information. Is the coil/relay mounted driver, passenger or mid dash? I have rewired my '32 Pontiac so thankfully this is not my first rodeo and thank you for the warning about wire size. Your recommendation about vendors is good. I have used Y and Z twice for new harnesses and they do a great job. From what I see on the car a complete rewire is not needed (yet). I just need to clean some things up under the dash. It is thankfully not a real rats nest so just some cleanup will be necessary. I see the light sockets built into the backing plate. I need to see if there are any holes in my dash that are just missing the sockets. I am one who likes originality but I am leaning toward replacing the buzzing circuit breaker (although it might sound cool) with fuses. Actually with older wiring it might be wise to add 2-3 fuses on critical circuits for peace of mind. Thanks again.
