Default Right side tail light bracket

Does anyone know the Ford part number for a 1930 right side tail light bracket? Is there a part number stamped into the bracket? Also, other than the angle of the bracket, are there any other ways to tell an original from a repro?

Does anyone have one they would sell?

Trying to find an original R/H bracket is tough. The reproductions I have seen are either cast aluminum or made from a lighter gauge steel than the originals. I also found that original left hand brackets are not all the same, with different lengths and angles being common. My solution was to find two matching left hand brackets. I cut one apart and welded it back together with the mounting face at the correct angle for a right side bracket. A simple welding fixture helped "reverse" the mounting flange. Gar Williams

The part number is AF 13471-B . It is a mirror image of the left hand one,they are handed.The "F" indicates "foreign" that means not fitted to domestic USA production at least not when built.

Mac's list two different RH tail light brackets-but both for the 28-29's. They have A1347AR for the coupe and roadster A1347BR for the sedan and touring. Nothing listed for '30. This probably doesn't help you at all,sorry.

If you don't have any joy with Derek Let me know I think I have one in my parts garage. Of course postage from New Zealand is the killer so better if you get Derek to bring his one over to Vancover if he can -Karl
