Need definitive measurements for 73 dash-mounted reverse light
« on: December 24, 2011 - 11:26:30 AM »
Yup, searched the archives thoroughly before posting this. :-)

Found two pics:

The 1st, with no light installed is a 70, no? So no good for me.

The seconds looks to be from a 73 Cuda and I'm assuming this is a factory install...

Just wanted to get confirmation...

If anyone could provide measurements for a 73 that was the actual hole like in the 1st pic, that would be great. Otherwise I'll be pretty much eyeballing it... :-\

I've got a 74 Challenger and will try to remember to measure it asap to confirm for you.

Based on the 73 Cuda photo above as well as another pic of a 73 Challenger I found, that matched position, I went ahead and drilled it...

Gotta tell ya... drilling a 3/4" hole in your otherwise pristine dash is not for the faint of heart.

Anyway... one more item off the list. :-)
