Thunderbird Update

Went to French Lake Auto Parts yesterday looking for parts for the T-Bird. There were scant few t-birds out in the yard of any year. I did find one 1964 model however and was able to find a couple small items that were needed.

Found the spring and clip for the horn button that had been missing.

Worked on the contacts of the horn buttons and they both now operate properly and deliver proper voltage to the horns. The horns however will need to be replaced they sound weak and scratchy (yes they are properly grounded) and when removed the rattle inside.

Found a new head light post and knob (the old one the knob is broken off) however the 1964 model is about an inch longer so it sticks out too far. But looks better than a broken off post and a lot easier to grasp.
