29 Tudor cowl light question

[fred93]

I know that the 29 Tudor did not come from the factory with cowl lights so I assume that they were installed later.

My question: Is there supposed to be a special star type lock washer between the cowl light arm and the bracket inside of the cowl?

That would seem to me to be a good idea--it would help keep the arm from rotating.

When I took the cowl lights off the car I did not see any washer but the bracket has some marks which could have been caused by a star type lock washer.

If you look in the original parts books, you will see an A-13300-A Cowl Lamp Assy was offered and there was an A-13324-R Grommet that was used in conjunction with the arms on the 28/29. You need that. Most vendors carry them today,

Yep I have the grommet. I was wondering about a star lock washer that may go between the cowl arm and the cowl bracket where the arm bolts to the cowl bracket.

Star washers can't be seen where you are asking them to be. I use them on mine.

Sounds like a plan--even though Henry may not have used them!
