Hi everyone I had posted several months ago on rewiring a 32. my thanks to everyone that had responded on that, I am in the home stretch. have the. Electrolock reconditioned thanks to Chip! And car fired back up.  I am wiring up the headlights which brings me to the question of conduit routing.  I am not sure that my conduit was routed properly to begin with- the headlight conduit goes immediately into the bracket and passes between the bracket and the horn mount into the car as shown in pictures but was badly damaged and I'm suspecting was some sort of a stopgap measure.  I have Replacement conduit so want to run it correctly pictures I'm seeing looks like it loops underneath the bracket and then through the hole in the radiator shroud ---pictures always help me I'm a visual learner 🙂

I was going to suggest a couple of people who have '32s in a private message, but I couldn't get it to work. Oh well. Maybe they will see this post and respond.

Thank you both! My suspicion at this point from pictures that I've been able to find is that they were routed correctly but the conduit was pushed much farther in due to the damage that was on it.  It does appear to come down out of the headlight bucket and go up into the headlight bracket underneath (or in between ) the headlight bracket and Horn mounting bracket, then into the radiator with the horn conduit looping underneath.  I was unsure if the headlight conduit looped directly from the bucket to the radiator.  It appears too short for that and there's no other way to hold it in the headlight bracket other than to run it through the horn mounting bracket
