Mk1* carrier rear number plate and lamp.
 

Folks,

I am on the scrounge for some measurements of the rear number plate ?

Also does anyone know of a source for the rear lamp ?

Cheers

Richie

You can get the rear rubber lamps from Dirk Leegwater. CMP rubber rear lights.

Can't help with the plate, mine are a different shape.

Ben

Have ordered the lamp, cheers

Just need the plate measurements ��

i can't help either fella but i could do with a couple myself :rolleyes

Rodger.... Will happily cut you a couple out matey, just need the dimensions :D

Richard, I suspect Ben's is dimensionally the same (width, height etc.) the difference being the U.C. has a single light.
I was waiting for someone with an original to chime in........

I will jump in the car and go for a drive.

Rich, I've got a complete original here I will measure and photograph on Wednesday, you got the two bracket dimensions ?.

No Kev, I have absolutely nothing, that would help a lot if you had the dims for the bracket too.

Cheers

Richie

Richard, I doubt you'll get one at Tescos. :devil:

Strangely enough local Tesco's don't have a carrier related aisle !

If you can get those measurements Kev it would be a help.

Cheers

Richie

Let me know if 343 x 277 is close for overall width, height.

We will hopefully find out soon enough :D

Plate and brackets
 

Richard,
I had sent you a good drawing of the brackets and plate about 4 days ago. It will get to you soon.

Thanks buddy.

Kevin was also going to post up today his findings so it seems :)

Measurements
 

Rich, will get on it tomorrow morning :)

come on kev, the boys are waiting :D

Drawing
 

The holes are 5/16" the inside radius of the lamp holder if not far away from a standard mastic tube at 49mm, the raised lamp holder is 2 1/16" wide, takes the standard CMP lamp holder.

Can only post one pic at a time grrr

Another pic

Mastic tube almost same as radius

More pics zzz

This is a midwest one

Drawing again zzz

All measurements to hole centred

Rick, you must learn to be patient in this hobby, I know that more than most ��

Cheers Kevin.

Excellent repro by John Bizal too !

Thanks Kevin.
For taking the time and effort to do the work you did for the number plate base. :thup2:

Yes, I agree. Good effort Kevin! :salute:

The way I established the shape around the light was to find centre. Draw the hole and the O.D.,drawing it with a compass.(top 180 degrees)
With the compass still set the same, on a line through the horizontal centre, blend the missing bits (quadrants)each side...... Underkistumble?

Kevin your measurements confirm that the earlier plate with two lights fitted was otherwise the same size,

Kev whilst I am cutting mine out, would you like me to cut you one out too ?
