Ben,
I also am sorry to have jumped in to your post, but I will say I stayed with the 6 volt system and am happy I did. I got a complete harness from YNZ Yesterday Electric and it was beautiful and well woth it. Paul hope to you in Reno.

No worries guys. The more i think about it the more i think i will leave it 6v. Its a long way away anyway lol. Two questions, i appear to be missing a badge / emblem from the Right rear trunk panel, anyone have a pic of that one. Also, under the seat is a removable panel with what appears to be an air duct. I was thinking rear seat heating but cannot find where the tube would come from (blower motor etc doesnt seem to have another outlet) Thanks!
Edit. Found that one on the RH says Powerflite, and then found out i was missing one on the lH side as well. Doh!
