Great writeup!

The original 6v fuel sending unit (and gauge) work fine after the car is converted to 12v.

For the wipers, another alternative is the tailgate motor from a 245. Perfect fit, but the wiring terminal connections are different.

Our 444 and 445 still use the original switches for most things, though the headlight switches are 122 pieces. Drilled and tapped like yours, sounds like.

6v fan works REALLY effectively on 12v. I expected it to burn out pretty quickly... 9 years and counting...

Good points in the hood and front section swap too.
