I'm sure it's technically all wrong but I've had good luck using chain saw condensers on V8s and vice versa. A condenser with the proper values is ideal but one that passes the analog ohm meter jump test should be fine for troubleshooting purposes.
Mine is not a show car, I would be content with one that's hazy or less than perfect. The woman I bought the car from said "it was never fancy, we just let the kids use it".
I don't know how best to pay you and I hope international shipping isn't a big nuisance on your end.
Thanks to both of you for helping me out of this self inflicted jam.

That looks like the one I bought from ebay. Mine are narrower and beveled on the back side.
I'll find one eventually and make gosh darn sure it's locked in place.
Thanks, Nat
I bought this from ebay because it came with the lens I need for my 24' but it's not the right one.
It fits my lens, bucket and latches but it's deeper and the lens can't be properly oriented.
It has two cracks. On a good day I might be able to TIG them. On a bad day I'd ruin it altogether.
It ain't much but maybe better than nothing.
Congratulations and thanks for keeping it off my list of non deductible dependents.
It looks like a rare find and I'm pleased to think you might patch it up without going down the full restoration rabbit hole.
My 24' tourer was resurrected after after an early 60's smash up so it isn't as pristine as your roadster. Just the same, it gets a lot of attention at the few meets I've attended. I even won a third place trophy in a two contestant competition.
I'm still wondering if the upholstery is original and if the rear wheel spokes are loose.
Keep us posted.

I still find it amazing that they produced a million vehicles in nine years.
Equally interesting and mind boggling is the $25 million that Ford had to pay Dodge Brothers in 1919.
Ford was a ruthless ........
