Don't know if this is related, but there are supposed to be two metal
support brackets from the fiberglass nose to the frame. They're just
inside each of the bottom corners of the front grill opening on both
our '73 and '75 coaches -- later years might have something different.
The brackets keep the nose structure from moving around so much.
On our '75, one bracket was missing. I made a replacement with a strap
of metal drilled on each end for bolt holes and then bent to fit.

Not upside down, but looking straight down on passenger side of coach.
Karen in the earlier pictures of headlight switch, what is the "button" on the switch?

Cool, I'll need to know that soon. thanks Mike.
Maybe you can answer a question.
On the passenger side, under front hood, above the battery, mounted on the underside of floor.
I have some kind of connector box about 2" sq and 1" deep with a momentary, red push rod on the bottom. It has a large cable dropping down to positive side of battery (not the main positive cable). And then has another large cable leading off somewhere.
Any guess what that may be? Original or add on?
I have many, many great electrical add ons, and nary a label.
Missed the chance to drive this coach to a rally so someone could tell me what is what.
Thanks again.

Hmmm,
Guess I'll be waiting for the weekend to look for those brackets.
Its the time of year and for the next 5-6 months, I go to work in the dark and come home in the dark.
