dash Light
Does anyone know where to buy a Dash Light that'll fit the original holes in the dash of a 1926 coupe? Thanks

Re: dash Light
Sacramento Vintage has some that use a single large hole. Not sure if they have any of the flange mount style.

Not reproduced, you need to find an original.

Re: dash Light
I have A flange mount one in my swap meet stuff. Please advise centre to centre distance between mounting holes you require.

Re: dash Light
The original Ford dash light (at least the one used in 26-27) used an oval shaped flange with the two mounting holes being on the left and right of the light. Most of the current offerings from the vendors use either a light with no flange and a threaded nut to secure the light to the dash, OR if it has a flange, the flange is round with two mounting holes which usually are not in the exact placement to mount to the holes in a 26-27 dashboard. I know that I have several original dash lights that I intended to restore before offering them for sale, but current health conditions are preventing me from even accessing them as they are in storage far from me. Also, I have seen some lights where the light is noticeably larger size than an original. I think that they were made to use on dashboards of truck tractors.
