Fender Light

[JStafford]

As I’m resurrecting a well used front fender for the ‘46 F, I’m at a loss as to where the fender light wire and tube come through. Palmer mentions a hole under the forks bent at a rearward angle that both go through, but not the exact location. Can anyone give me some dimensions? Thanks!

If your fender did not originally have a running light it might not have a a hole. Starting in 1948 they insulated one of the lower horn mounting hole and used it. If I think of it later I can get a photo.

Thank you Jerry, I am familiar with the’48 type set up. Mine should look like the ‘47 and earlier.
After posting the question, I realized I should have done a search first. I did find some older posts with some photos showing the dimensions I’m looking for.
I do realize that being a’46 it may not have had a fender light. But it’s a very late one, so who knows.

It wouldn't have had one from the factory but over the counter it was available and the instruction sheet tells how to drill and form the hole. basically drill it then stick a punch in it and bend the hole shape so the conduit passes through.
