       Simple enough.......easy to get too. Any of the old Ford parts
suppliers should have these items with the exception of the headlight switch.
     All you have to know is how to read the Ford part number.

Voltage regulator....Part # O1A 10505
O = 1940
1 = 90hp V-8
A = automobile

       Right, it's the same part as all the 1940/41/42 Ford civilian cars used.

Circuit breaker......O1A 12250

    Same as above, standard Ford car.

      To find the parts vendors just pick up a copy of Hemming's Motor News
and look in the "Ford" section.

    Many of the parts on the GP come right from the Ford car and truck
line. Others like the motor, came straight from the 9N tractor.

       These wiring harnesses not only look great but they are CORRECT for
the GP. Kevin Marion, the former owner of the company, and I spent a great
deal of time researching the wiring and the loom colors for this set. We
even went so far as to cut sections out of several of my GP's to assure a
correct match and referred to many close-up detail photos from the Ford
Archives of the wiring.

     BTW.....I also own 7 1/2 Ford GP's (one 4 wheel steer)
