Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / September 2005Hawk 12 volt relays/breakers
I'm putting together a '55 C body, using a '56 C/K dash, and the vehicle w/be 12 volt. I have all the proper switches, but do not have the relay/breaker infomation. Can anyone direct me to a method of determining which switches require a relay/breaker and what the capacity should be? My electrical skills are limited, so I need something that is crystal clear/idiot proof. Thx in advance, Stan I am wiring a 1955 C-body with a 1957 Hawk Dash right now (till 10 pm last night) We would have to know exactly what year/style switches you are using.. Are they all 1956 switches? If so, most come with their own integral fuses and breakers (Headlites, Instument lts, wiper, defrost, air). Just plug in the correct colored wires- You ARE using a '56 wiring harness aren't you? You WILL NEED a '56-later turn signal switch, horn relay, dimmer switch, wiper motor, fan motor, and defroster motor. Though, they should run for awhile on 12V. Perhaps use an in-line voltage reducer. You are going to need to change some light sockets and connectors. I can scan and e-mail you a printable 1956 C/K wiring diagram and color-key should you not have access to one.

Thx, Stan There is also aset of three circuit breakers that sit into a metal retainer. Do a search for 12V auto circut breakers. There is a gellow who sell them in banks of 3 4 6 and 8 on a bar, all you will need is the three breaks. Certain things , very few, go to these rather than the ones on the switcches. They are mainly for optons. Bill |
