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

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.

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

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.
