The best I can tell from the shaft lenght it is for a 1951 to 1954 Kaiser. It would be a door mount. The mounting Bracket shown appears to be a A-Post mount bracket. Flip the bracket over and there should be a number stamped there. If it read 11R or 11L (Maybe just 11) then it would be correct bracket for a 1951 - 1954 Henry J and/or 1947 - 1950 Kaiser-Frazer. To properly id the soptlight itself I need a shaft lenght from the center point of the plastic handle to the pivot point of the Spotlight Lamp Housing.

The number on the back of the bracket appears to be 28 or 29. Shaft length is 14 5/8"

Ok that Bracket is not used for any of the Kaiser Frazer cars. The correct Bracket for teh spot light you have should be the 39L or 39R depending if you want to install it on driver or passenger side. These mounting brackets with associated hardware can still be purchased from Unity USA. If you need contact info I can supply it.

The spotlight is the correct for the 1951 to 1954 Kaiser-Frazer. if you want to install it in a 1951 -1953 Henry J/Allstate or 1947 to 1950 Kaiser-Frazer you will need the shaft assembly changed out. You will also need to pucrhase the 11R or 11L Mounting Bracket.

Note: I have some installation instructions and drill template for most of teh Kaiser-Frazer products.

Let me know if you need any more info or assistance.

The link below has several installation instructions available ... however no spot light.
Just thought I would offer it up for future reference

Mr Steele offered up many of these instructions for everyone's usage.

Thanks to all of you for the information. Since it is not correct for my car, I probably will be selling it. Anyone interested?

I have the bracket and all mounting hardware, template, & instructions, 39L or 39R.  Have only one of each, NOS.  $40 plus postage.

Here's the link to the bracket kit on Unity's web site:  http://unityusa.com/detail.aspx?ID=293    They get $53.24 plus shipping.  You can also get to their home page from this link to look up other stuff (www.unityusa.com).

PS, the model spotlight Les has above is the H1.  Looks like a real nice one too.
