Hey All,

Does anybody have a close up picture of the rear licence plate light and bracket assembly for a '55 TF,
3100, with dipped rear bumper? Approx. measurements? I have a few odd licence plate lights and brackets, a wire welder, and some time, and want to see if I can reproduce a resonable reproduction.(More time than $$$)
Or a good way to waste an evening?

Thanks,

yeah - its kind of a waste of an evening, because you can buy that sucker for $30

license bracket

or if you really want to make it - the picture at that link will give you the general layout of the bracket and you can derive the scale by taking the dimensions from any license plate you may have handy.

tomctomc,

Thanks, pic helps alot! Worse case sceanio, I will end up buying one at a later date. Although, if I can make one, $30.00 goes towards something I can't make. As stated, more time than $$$, at this point and will give me a fun little project to try to accomplish.

Thanks again,
