They are from Kugel Komponents. Not cheap but it's the kids inheritance.

John I think Speedway sells them. I got mine years ago from Gene Scott at PSI who has since passed away. They aren't too hard to find. Go for the hard rubber grip style. Bill

Steering column is a Flaming River 30". I prefer their shorter tilt mechanism.

The mag glass really helps especially when they print black lettering on dark green wires! Don't blame me if the horn honks every time I hit the brake pedal!!!

A few progress pics. The Rebel Wire kit is a rear mount setup and I ran the wires in the floor trough so with a groove in the insulation they should be fairly flush. I ran the front and rear sections through the existing hole in the floor directly over the frame using stock wire clips to run down the frame.. The inner fender panels are going in thanks to some good pics from you guys. I used a slotted rubber trim from Steele around the edge for detail.

A few more. I'm grounding each light to the frame, which is grounded to the engine and body at the same place. To me, wiring is like the old joke about the thermos.."how do it know?"

Your brake fluid reservoir did you make that or did you buy it? What are your early thought on the Rebel Wiring Harness? Have you had to buy much extra in the way of connectors and such for it? Instructions pretty good? THanks Donald

.The remote res. came from Kugel. The rebel wire kit was the only rear mount kit I saw and I'm very pleased. There are some specialty connectors with the kit but the rest you will need to provide. Instructions are very good considering you are using a generic style kit.
