The Ford Barn

Hi

Does anyone have any information out there on how the Ford factory installed a dome light in a late model 1931 2 door deluxe? Did they run the board that the dome light mounts to from one top bow to the one that has the metal brace around it just above the driver and front passenger heads? My car was a basket case when I got it. Some parts are there and some not. All I have are parts of the old dome light, some metal brackets that I don't think are correct and I think part of a piece of wood that the dome light might have mounted to. Anyone with any info let me know. This model seems rare and not a lot of info that I can find on how they were done.

I have a De Luxe Tudor and installed my dome light many years ago. There's a wiring diagram and a pattern for making the wood section it fits in on the MAFCA website here: https://www.mafca.com/data_deluxe_tudors.html

If you have any specific questions, send me an email. [email protected]
