Good morning. Thanks to all who answered my earlier posts. I bought a different Stude, a 51 Champion 4-door with a 6-cyl automatic. It runs sweet, and with some brake work and few other things, will be a nice daily driver to work, local SDC meets and cruise nights. An amateur 20-foot paint job and nicely done but non-original interior but that's okay.
As a daily driver (leaving at 0530) to work, I want to add turn signals and seat belts.
I found some turn signal parts at Studebaker International but not a whole setup. Anyone know of a vendor who sells a complete aftermarket setup? It is still 6-volt. I do anticipate changing to 12v, but first I want to get it safely drivable.
I plan to add a set of Stude or aftermarket Stude fog lamps on the front bumper and wire those up with amber bulbs as signals, keeping the marker lights as markers. They are too small and dim for other drivers to see. For the back, I want to hook into the existing brake/stop lights, and will add a small light bar in the back window so modern drivers who are used to looking up high don't run into the back of it.
Any help on sources of turn signal kits or fog lights would be appreciated.
Here is the car:
