T-16 S/N 5399 T.D. 97377 Restoration

[horsa]

Finally have had the time to sort out everything that was needed for doing the wiring more or less to match the wartime manuals. Its nice to be able to turn on the master switch and press the start button for the engine to roar to life. No more hot wiring it but I'm still using a temporary fuel system which keeps me busy adding gasoline every few minutes for now

Shots below show the instrument panel before and after, although I am still looking for a correct wartime Waltham Clock Company speedometer.







All of the wires on the T-16 go through conduit and then branch off through braided tubes to reach whatever they connect to. Lots of fun trying to thread all of the cloth loom wires in place on the vehicle. Everything is complete including front and rear lights and siren. Exception being the two wires for the left and right fuel tank sending units. They are ready to go but I don't have the fuel tanks yet. You can see them in the second shot showing the conduit as they are yellow and stick up and out without their braided tubes.
