I have an instrument light bracket for my 1934 pickup I have cleaned and painted but I can't see where it mounts. Can anyone advise please?

Mounts on the cowl of the body in the middle in alignment of the instruments.

Thank-you. Should I be looking on the firewall, as opposed to the cowl?

No .It needs to be closer to the gauges as it lights them up. Where the dash attaches to the cowl in the body.Look there.

Duce Lover is correct, the "center " screw of the dash board is where I attached mine and the switch is on the driver's side (bottom portion of the dash. You will see "3 " holes: two outer for attaching switch and the "large" center hole is where the "toggle" switch sticks out.

Thanks for the helpful advice - I was able to locate the correct position. And sorry, I thought I had replied to acknowledge this ages ago.
