My 115C has a 3-brush Delco generator. I presume this to be the original type with the 2-brush type being fitted to later models. Car is not at home right now so I cannot go out and look at the connections. Also, I do not recall that the 3rd brush is adjustable. Do I have something different?

Here is a photo of the generator mounted on the engine.

MM does not make the mats; they are made by Steele Rubber, and yes, the Steele mats for a 115c are of the cut and paste variety, simply a set of cut down 120's. Once upon a time, I had a source for one piece 115c mats - its been several years since I ordered any, and I am not sure what the minimum order would be, probably at least 5 sets...

As for the wiring question, long since answered, difference between 115c wiring and 120c wiring is simply due to grounding circuits. I've always felt the more grounds the better...

Did the running board covers on my 34 eight back in the 70s. Only mat available was from Phil Hill who only made for the 134" wheelbase; I'm 129" wheelbase so it was a cut and paste job. Carefully done it can be almost unnoticeable, really only if you happen to specifically focus on that spot.

I brought up my Delco 3-brush generator because the illustrations Howard provided (thanks) only show 2-brush generators,

I would throw my hat in the ring for a set of 115c running board mats.
