Re: Tail lamp
If you are speaking of the '26-'27 original Ford accessory tail light, repro lenses for those are available through Myers Early Dodge

Re: Tail lamp
I suggest you put this on the classified page and preface the topic with WTB.

Re: Tail lamp
There were hundreds of after-market brake lights for model Ts and other cars in the 1910s. 1920s, through and after WW2 even that can be used. There were likely dozens of them that were about four inch in size one way or another.
Do you want one that says "STOP"? Flat? Convex?
We want to help you. But you need to help us to help you.
One of my speedsters years ago, I wanted to use a nice original after-market tail light I had, that was missing the lens. I had had it a couple years and never did find an original lens that would fit it. So I went to the local auto parts store and bought a modern replacement trailer tail light lens. It was large enough, slightly convex, and I cut it and shaped it to fit my light. It looked fine, and worked GREAT! The plastic didn't block the light so much like the original glass did, so it looked good dark, but lit up really bright! A good thing for a brake light.
Just a thought.
And people think I am a purist?
