Lets build a camelback,, or two.

Today I started working on the front end of the boiler, witch includes the boiler front and prepping the electrical connection for the headlight.
    In this pic all you see is the two headlight leads sticking out of the boiler weight, I'll show you how I got there.

With the boiler removed you can see that the headlight leads come up from the Minni plug and pass through the boiler weight at the top. I will use the same routing for my wire, but I will have to add a resister in the line for the LED's that I will be using. The only spot with room enough for it is in the firebox.    

I cut the stock head light wires and removed the factory head light. Then I soldered on the resistor that the LED manufacturer recommended to it.    

Next was to solder new wire to the resistor and cover it with some heat shrink tubing.     I then passed the new wire through the same hole in the weight so it stuck out of the front with plenty to spare.     I then taped it down to the motor and frame where it is under the fire box and out of the way.
