I didn’t think it was right. The original has a hole in it for a bolt.

Sheldon,
The one depicted in your #2 post will not work in a '33-'34 headlamp as the flat area is too short. the length of the flat on an original '33'-34 rim catch with the small hole in it is 3/4-7/8", whereas that dimension on a A or '32 rim catch is only 3/8". At least one vendor carries a version long enough to accommodate the small hole for the rivet, but not likely one of the Model A vendors.

You might try ThirdGen in TN. He's gone to the Nats so won't be back for at least a week.

Anything left from yours to use for a pattern to duplicate ? The 2 mfg ,Drake and Vintique do not list those parts.

Get the short bracket, weld an extension on, metal finish it, drill a rivet hole, and paint (or plate) as needed. That's what I've done in the past; probably been easier to build one from scratch; but I had picked one up not knowing it would be too short and was determined to use it.

Exactly what rich b has said.Buy the Model A and make it work.
