VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1929-1932 Flexible Wire Conduit for '31 Headlights and Horn

What is the correct diameter and length for the headlight and horn wire conduit for the 1931? The FS has none at present.

Thanks,

Tom

Snyder's Antique Auto Parts 888-262-5712 has very nice Stainless Conduit sets. I purchased threeof the conduits for a Model A Horn many years ago for our 31. they work fine and I have never been questioned about them. Don't purchase the set for the lights and horn. Get three of the ones for the horn. The headlight conduits are too large.

Bow-Tie Reproductions has the headlight conduits as well.

In seeking the headlight conduits it is important to get ones with the knurled male part of the plug on one end to fit into the bucket socket. A plain piece of conduit will leave you with the problem of making a connectiuon at the bucket. The Horn conduit does not require a special end. I purchased all 3 from one of the suppliers a couple of years ago, perfect fit. You may also inquire about a conduit for the tail light, the one I bought was too short at about 12", you really need one about 24" long.
