I was fortunate enough to have a spare starter relay, but still a no go. And did some of the other tips mentioned. Thinking about what Rob said- since no voltage was getting to the ignition switch, I traced it back to the main power and yes, there was a grounding issue. The good news is that there w...

It's a 1971. There are no fuses, the PO changed a little with the wiring, so it doesn't have the board in the headlight shell.

Hey guys! It definitely threads in on both LH & RH. The stems are threaded at the bottom and the inside of the perch hole has threads. There are nuts that you screw down to tighten once the mirror is threaded in and you have it at the desired position. The thread in the perch and also on the ste...
