Anyone know of a source for a open car, roadster, passenger side sportlite mounting bracket?
Thanks, JC

Dunno if this will help but FWIW, Unity still lists some brackets for antique cars - might be worth contacting them:

Year?
Snyder’s lists one for left side. Don’t know if right side ever made. To my knowledge it hasn’t been.

I bought one from mikes affordable years ago.

I’ve seen model a’s with two sportlites so there was one made for the passenger side at one time. I have two sportlites and would like to put them on my 31 roadster. I have the driver side bracket but not the passenger side. John

Indeed there are/were dual sportlites on cars!
I saw a original(or old vintage) right hand bracket at Hershey several years back.
I just haven’t seen a repo bracket …ever.
Could be made but getting anything cast these days is painful.
Might contact Karl Wescott on the west coast.

Years ago I got some Sportlite/Spotlight parts, including mounting brackets for my Town Sedan, from Ron Ehrenhofer, Technical Chairman of the Model "A" News. I believe he restores them or did at the time. You may want to contact him.

I found a '30-'31 open car "Passenger" side Unity Sportlite bracket on eBay about a year ago. It came from Canada and was listed as a repop. I had been looking for one for over 20 years.

Recently Ron Ehrenhofer did one for a fellow member. Get in touch with him.
