1936TWC I would assume that with the 12 volt conversion the original wire gauge would be sufficient as long as connections etc are tight and clean ..

Just dropped off my generator at E J Whitney. Tom is the contact guy there, super knowledgeable and just a nice guy to deal with. He had several examples of his gen/alt conversions including several with the fan mounted on the pulley like mine. He said he could get the conversion done fast. Really excited to getting this installed.

I have a 1936 Ford converted to 12V. Question; How heavy would the wire requirements for a Halogen tail light. Currently, I have a 20 amp fuse. Any other suggestions to improve safety would be greatly appreciated.

The last year for the 3-brush generator (with generator mounted cut-out) which had the generator mounted fan was the 1939 Ford Standard. 1939 Ford Deluxe model and all subsequent model Ford passenger cars had the 2-brush generator (with external voltage regulator) and remote mounted fan.

Stumbled upon this https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/early-flathead-ford-v-8-generator-2-brush-vs-3-brush.1205314/ CharlieStephans looks like you nailed it.

One of the best things you can do for visibility is add a third brake light in the rear window. This is where people are looking now. I used the "Brakelighter" third light in my all original 1936 and it worked great. It works with turn signals as well. It can be mounted with suction cups if you want to hide it when showing your car. Very easy to install. This is a brakelight, not a taillight, so keep that in mind. Also, how about adding reflectors, there are some cool vintage ones so they won't look out of place, or clip on/magnetic lights to supplement your taillights in the rear if you choose to drive at night, these can be battery powered or rechargeable, so don't draw on your car battery.
