The Ford Barn

Has anyone installed a drum tail light on the right side of a 1928 Fordor? Mine has the tail light bracket that mounts to the rear skirt and not to the rear fender. I see that Snyder's has a right side Sedan/Touring bracket part number A-13473-AR. Does anyone know if this is the correct bracket for the Fordor? I don't want the rear fender style tail light.
Also, I do not see an LED light for the drum tail light in any of the catalogues. Has anyone out there found one?
Thanks in advance.

Since I don't like to drill holes in the body, I would make a bracket that bolts to the rear bumper arm. I'd rather have a bracket that isn't a mate to the left bracket, than drill extra holes.

Your Fordor is a sedan so I would say yes.

Bratton's had LED lights that can be used on the right side, i.e. without a tag light. It is a circuit board with a bunch of LEDs in it. I don't like that as much as a single bulb, but it is what I bought. You can get bulbs that fit into the bulb socket to replace the incandescent. That's what I did for my sedan. I bought mine at Hershey from a guy in Australia, but they are available elsewhere, too.
