Hi all,
I'm working with Erich on putting together the ulster replica, and we're having some confusion with the electrical system that I was hoping to clear up.
It looks like we have a 1929 switch panel, and we're going with a 6v system, and we're trying to determine the current capacity needed for each connection.
Currently we have headlamp assemblies rigged for 6v, with the main bulbs running 35W and the side bulbs at 5W, and tail with 21W for the brakes and 5W for the taillights.
As for the rest of the components in the system, namely a 6v klaxet horn, distributor, coil, cut out, and dynamo, as well as the battery to the switch panel and starter, we're not sure what current capacity we need.
Also, should we think about grounding the lamps to the battery, or is the chassis fine? Thanks!
