Default What Do I Have?

Good evening. I have a headlight bar that I would like to pass-on to someone who can use it, but I don't know what it fits. It was sold to me as being for a 1930-31 Model A, but it doesn't fit my '30 Coupe. It is about 5/8 inch shorter than a a bar that fits my A. It has a slightly different curve in the sections between the headlight mounts and the end flanges. The headlight mounting holes are 5/8" vs 1/2", and the holes are slightly off center in the sockets. The end flanges seem to be more perpendicular to the bar, and there is no raised portion on the underside around the bolt holes.

I hope someone can identify this bar or direct me where else to look. Thanks.

Mike

A photo would help.

700rpm, thanks for your reply and interest in helping. I took a photo of the two different bars and the differences did not show up well. Only by comparing measurements could the differences really be detected. I didn't realize that I had a "wrong" bar until I tried to fit it on the car.

Post the pics. There are guys here who can identify anything, and probably tell you when it was made.
