I'm looking for a pair of good usable 34/35 sidelight mounts, anyone have some spare?

The alternative I'm told is to use Packard sidelight mounts of the same era, see halfway down this page. http://julrichpackard.com/horn_instruments.htm

Does anyone know if the Packard items are the same, and if they are, does anyone have experience with these particular repros?

    Bob, Have you checked with Phil Haxby, I think he had some cast at one stage.Could not say on the Packard ones. Cadillac also had the same side lights.

    The Packard base is definitely the same as the '34-35 Hud and Terra. Years back I had one of each in hand and also talked to a Packard restorer about it who said he had used some Hudson bases one on a Pack restoration. The lamp then really only differs in the fact that the Packard has the removable rim holding the lens and the H/T is rimless.

    They look a lot like the ones on my 36. I can get you some better phots than this if you want a photo?

    Thanks Brownie. 34 and 35 bases are the same I'm told, don't know about 36 but it makes sense if they are. Anyone know for sure?
