Default yeah

the switch it's holding is the brake light actuation device and the lever is pushed down by the brake pedal to make the lights go on. anyhow, that's the theory.

Default good progress

got the hole in the top of the cowl filled in & figured out the alternator bracket. l had to change fans with the brackets weer using, the other fan just wasn't fitting correctly.

we fabbed the alternator bracket outta hood brackets l had on 2 of the old craftsman lawn mowers we keep for parts. tomorrow l will take it all back apart to paint it.

also got the steering wheel quick release welded on so the steering wheel will work.
