Thanks Lynn for that information.
I started installing the new wiring from my harness set that I got. Very easy to instal and everything goes in really well. One bit I did notice was that the Vintage Wiring of Maine set is for a MK1 UC with only 2 toggle switches and no horn button. This just means that I need to make up a few more wires and change the path of one or two in the set. Im also sourcing out the little brass clips that holds the wiring in place. I have one orginial one that is stamped CTL 12941, FMCO 42. All the ones in the rusty dash broke as soon as I tried to save them. Interestingly none of them had the part numbers. Must have changed suppliers in 1942 vs 1942.
My toggle switches are new made ones but they have the wires instead of the terminals. What I have done is add the eyelets and just screwed the wiring onto them. That way when I get some correct style toggles I can just unscrew the old ones.
