28 roadster tail light placement
I am trying to mount the tail light on a 28 roadster. Does any one have a picture of where it attaches ?

Re: 28 roadster tail light placement
The lower left of the rear of your body should have 3 holes for the drum taillight bracket. I don't have a picture though.

Re: 28 roadster tail light placement
I do not have any holes on the left side. I do have 2 big holes near the center. Do you know what they are for?

Re: 28 roadster tail light placement
Vermin has the 3 unused holes, on the L/H side. For LAFFS, I "thought" about mounting a TOW HOOK there--LOL

Re: 28 roadster tail light placement
That is a 1929 body, not a 1928. The 1928 bodies had three threaded holes for the left tail light as pictured in the post above. the two holes you referred to in the middle are for the spare tire bracket

Re: 28 roadster tail light placement
So what would be the correct tail light for the 29 body?

Re: 28 roadster tail light placement
Thanks for the information. I guess I will have to get creative since I'm not running fenders.

Re: 28 roadster tail light placement
Try using one of these brackets that mount to the frame rather than the fender:

Re: 28 roadster tail light placement

Ian Simpson _______________________ Ian - If your inquiry is with respect to the installation of a right-hand tail light on a sedan, then there should be no problem (I have added a right-hand taillight bracket to our early '29 phaeton). However, if your inquiry is directed at either a '28 coupe or roadster with a rumble seat, then a matching right-hand forged tail light bracket will not work if you also have the rear step plate with the original '28 forged step plate bracket; the plate will prevent you from properly placing the right tail light bracket in a corresponding symmetrical position to the left one. Good luck with your project. Dick |
