How can i best restore the silver on my dash?

[RED-Z06 2,277]

I used silver model paint on a JD 316 a decade ago but it was super thin and I wasn't happy with it.

 

Maybe a silver felt tipped paint pen?

Get you some paint markers. Craft store or box store. 

Wicked handy.

Just an FYI... Yellow is handy for marking metal to be welded. I can see it a LOT better than a soapstone scratch.

Perhaps @JCM @pfrederi or @gwest_ca could point you the right direction.

Momentary DPDT switch required that will carry the required amperage but do not know what that load is. (Momentary Double-pole Double-throw)

Thanks Gary. 

 

Here's a part number I'd saved for aftermarket Electric linear actuator motor usage.

Did you buy that key chain, or was it already on the tractor?

The  standard 1156 bulbs and the tail light bulb will pull less then 5 amp.on the old C-series. When they went to the sealed beams they were 35 w and the tail lamps would be around 10 amps.
