How do you get the headlamp cables thru the radiator grommets? Also where can I get replacement end connectors that attach to the headlamp base?

Headlight connectors are not available yet I don't believe, however, I think that the Filling Station is working on getting some reproduced. You might want to contact Steve Kassis at the Filling Station and find out the current status. \:D \:D \:D

You have two options to get the headlight conduit through the grommets. You can split the grommets, wrap them around the conduit and then put the grommets into the shell. Split grommets is not like the original. Or you can remove the connectors, slide the conduit through the grommet and then re-solder the connectors onto the end of the harness.

I talked to the Filling Station about two weeks ago and the headlight harness or plugs were still not available.A fellow here in my town made plugs for his 26 out of a piece of stainless shaft with the twist knobs to hold the plug in silver soldered to the shaft. He used micarta for the inside piece that has the wire through the center of it. The mushroom shaped solder connection for the center are available at automotive stores.
