My $15.00 Ford Script "Bobber" Light
Sometimes you score such an unbelievable purchase at a swap meet or on EBAY, that you can't control your enthusiasm and you want to tell the world. Such is the case of my recently purchased $15.00 Ford script "Bobber" light, complete with original license plate bracket. The EBAY seller was a motorcycle shop which advertised this 26-27 Ford script accessory stoplight as a "Bobber" light. Yes the red lens is broken and the clear license plate light lens is missing, but I have replacements off of Dodge Brothers stoplights to replace these with and a new replated lens trim piece, too. It'll make a dandy.

Re: My $15.00 Ford Script "Bobber" Light
Great find Terry. Lots of folks gripe about e-bay. But there are great deals to be found.. That is a rare light.
On another note, the Rajo 4 valve head I bought from you is back on the speedster project engine and ready for "round two" of the start up process. I had a major oil leak on the crankcase and blew the head gasket on "round one". But boy did it sound good for the five minutes I was able to run the engine. Thanks for selling me the head. Its been a fun project.

I’ve got a real nice one going on my 27 TT project. I really like the bigger light housing. My lens says “STOP” on the top part when lit.

Re: My $15.00 Ford Script "Bobber" Light
The Dodge Brothers Type B stoplight is the same except for embossed logo, but at their prices, I'll pass. I'll be willing to bet that I have more bezels, "stop" silhouettes, red and clear lens that this dealer does.Mark Gregush wrote: ↑Mon Jul 06, 2020 8:52 pmGo down to the B type tail light I think it is the same;

Re: My $15.00 Ford Script "Bobber" Light
Yeah, but the only part of a Hall Manufactured stoplight that has Dodge on it is the body, so what if I told you I gave away all my Dodge light parts, and the ones I'm using came from Ford lights?YellowTRacer wrote: ↑Tue Jul 07, 2020 6:29 pmBlasthemy!!! putting inferior Dodge parts into a treasured Ford script unit.

But it's got Dodge germs on it and that could spread!

To be scientific, (which I nearly always try to be, unless I am telling a tall tale) I think the technical term for Dodge germs is "Dodge Cooties".

My apology, at my age I get easily confused and was thinking, I wouldn't want the Dodge strain.
