There are also bolts that hold the quarters and that panel together. You can see that here in this picture

Power draw
Driving the car during the day, everything is fine.
Drive the car with the lights on and it is significantly different. It loses power.
I am currently only running on battery. I know the Mag needs to be charged. It quit a couple of years go.
Diagnose my problem. And......GO!

Re: Horn Wire Tube
it's going to be on a 22. I have no idea what year the column is other than it has a round neck where it attaches to the firewall instead of the square neck of the 26-27 ones.
The tube is the same on the 26 one as it is on my 24-25.

Luther Mulder was born in May 1889 and died in Coopersville, MI on August 21st, 1954
There was also a Luther Mulder born in July 1917, and died in Coopersville, MI on September 2, 1997
So you know Mulder Motor Sales existed at least during WW2.
