Re: Stop Light Location
Hi Dave,
1. If you prefer to have your new Model A tail light(s) "appearing" as though they are original, the exact locations of your new bolt holes will not be noticed.
2. In many cases, shapes & angles of stop light brackets and rear fenders will vary slightly from that of "new" when compared to "original" ...... hence light fixture height may vary.
3. Best to obtain exact dimensions from the ground to the center of tail light(s) from someone who has a Model A similar to your particular year and model of Model A and use these "tail light above ground" dimensions to determine noticeable tail light heights with corresponding new rear fender locations for your new bolt holes.
4. If after installation, your tail lights are 4" too high, or 4" too low from standard, "everybody" focuses on the tail lights whether tail lights are turned "on" or "off" ....... but, who ever measures exactly where the bolt holes are located.
Hope this helps anybody in the future drilling holes and mounting tail light bolts on Model A rear fenders ...... & more importantly ............ always staying focused.
