Creating this WWI ambulance and mounting the cowl lights on a flat wooden dash/firewall/cowl and looking for two brackets to do so. Had used two on another wooden dash project vehicle that bolted to the wood and then the cowl light bolted to the bracket. Looking for two, maybe three if I decide on a single tail light with no license plate frame.
Let me know if you have something and what you want. Should fit in small or medium USPS priority flat rate box for $15.
Thank you.

What type of lamps are you going to use ? Makes a difference in the style of bracket.

George, yes, exactly like that. Unfortunately, I forgot that I had this thread out here and have changed the design of the firewall and cowl so that I no longer have a flat surface to work with. The cowl I have created is sloped towards the front and I now need to fabricate some sort of straight strip that will come flat out from my dash panel and allow me to mount a forward facing cowl light to it. So, no right angles in it at all. Just mounting holes and a single cowl bolt hole on the same plane.
