Hi fellows! i am getting closer to mounting my stop light like my Dad had on his '27 and i have a couple questions. Back in that era:
1. i imagine the wire for the stop light would have followed down one of the rear fender braces, along the frame and to a stop light switch? here is my first anal question: how would the wire typically be held to the fender brace and frame? Did dealers have some sort of a wire clip they sold to hold accessory wires in place? Did they have electrical tape back then? A leather tie? A rubber tie?
2. my second anal question is: what would have riders been using for a stop light switch in the era?
attached is a pic of the stop light i am going to fit, and also a pic of the rear of my Dad's JD showing the tail light he had. as far as the tail light goes, i think i am in the ball park.
