dodgerod Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Where does the front licence plate bracket mount on front spreader bar? Centre,left,right. thanks for info this would be for a 1929 dodge DA Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsmoke Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Center of spreader bar. Bracket can be set to place license plate either above bumper, or below bumper if you rather hide it. Here in Nova Scotia, Canada, we only use a rear plate, so front plate is not necessary. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgerod Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 In Alberta if you use origonal plate from 1929 you have to use both. I have a beautiful pair that I am going to use. Not a lot of response to this query , I have seen top shelf restorations and the plate seems to be all over the place, centre,left, right not a big deal just curious whren it should be .... nice 29 DA you have there, restoring it?

keiser31 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I suppose you could mount it wherever you want as long as it doesn't interfere with the crank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodgerod Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 Nice! The second car is from alberta. I notice also all of their headlamp wires exit out the back, mine come out the bottom of the mounting stem. What is correct? Maybe mine are not....beautiful cars Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference in the lights is probably because of two manufacturers, Duo-Light is one, can't think of the other it's too late. LOTS of differences in DAs.

keiser31 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Yep, some of the earlier cars like the Victory Six and the Standard Six had the headlamp bar mounted plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

30DodgePanel Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 @Tom, just curious... what's the significance of GB on the PA plate on your truck ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArticiferTom Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Nothing . Just lucky ebay purchase got matching front and rear original plates . Had them registered as my YOM 's in Pa . Thought is was neat that GB's are on a Graham Bros. truck . I was going to lash a rifle scabbard to the side of truck for my .257R Winchester . After all truck was used on the farm .

nearchoclatetown Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I finally looked at my '29 DA, has Two-Light head and cowl lights. Wires come out the back just like Harry's I am not sure where the other brand exit, it should be able to be found on this forum. We have talked about DAs for years.

Gunsmoke Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 The '29 DA in my initial post was purchased as a "maybe project" by a couple of us, we decided we each had enough on our plate, so have sold it into Ontario, Canada last week. Shortly before we bought it, the headlights had been stolen from inside the car, unbeknownst to us! (pic shows original headlights sitting in rear of car when we agreed to buy it along with a rough spare set, both stolen). Tough finding a correct pair. During the search, we found a pair of I think 1930 Mopar lights on a bar that have the additional cross bar that carried the Dodge Badge. This set of headlights has the wiring coming out of the bottom of the headlight via a large diameter hollow mounting bolt, about 1" OD. Makes for a very large nut. The mounting point on the lights were concave and slotted to allow tilting, and the cross bar has concave mounting spots. So Mopar was.using more than one style mount.
