Sunday Morning - Part 2:
One thing I did discover is that the two Stop/Tail lights have different internal fixings.

So one takes the bulb with the 'lugs' equally placed and the other takes the one where the lugs are staggered.



The fact I have both bulbs to hand means that the replacement plastic Stop/Tail light I bought was also different to the original one.

Still, I now had all four lights wired up and ready to go.



I also dragged the next wheel to be cleaned out.



But I didn't get a chance to start on that as I had other family stuff to do.

Note:
I should point out that there was a short break in the middle of the morning so I could observe the 11am silence & watch the first wreaths being laid at the Cenotaph.

Sunday Afternoon:
I peeled back the covers at the rear of the car, so I could drill the holes for the lights.



As expected, there wasn't enough bodywork to play with (hence the big washers).



One down, three to go.



Apologies for the blurred photo...



But by now the sun was setting and the temperature was dropping.



So by the time I'd finished drilling the other sideā€¦



I was now working by street light.



And there was no chance of getting a decent photo of all the lights in place.



So you will just have to take my word for it that the lights look great.

I still need to finally bolt them into position and connect/test them, but that is one job closer to completion.

Until next time, take care, Paul.
