lp2 tail lamp brackets
 

Can someone please give me the measurements and thickness of the steel plate and hole locations so I can make up two tail light brackets to be welded onto the rear pioneer plate then I can paint it .. Dale

Made from 3.9 mm plate (i would remake in 3mm) Length 152 mm width 51 mm. Best I can offer with a torch in one hand.....

Thanks Rob . One more question before a go ahead . Looking at photos of these brackets on the web , to me they look like the have a slight bend at the bottom where they are welded to the rear plate is this correct or are they just flat bar welded on ? . Dale

light brackets
 

Dale,
I think the brackets started life straight, but over time and poor positioning when the stowage bins are removed they become bent.
See my attached pics that I have cropped.
Most brackets are welded, but have shown 2 late BGC with possible spot welded brackets. The large majority have a bead/run of weld around the bottom of the flat metal bracket.

Darrin, for the sake of clarity, would it be safe to assume the spot welded ones are on a spot welded hull?

Excellent photos Darrin thanks ..Dale

I think the spot welded brackets are predominantly a late model feature; however, with different parts being supplied at different times to the different manufacturers would have caused quite a bit of variation.
Many of the hulls that I have seen are welded but with different spot welded features (ie rear lift eyes), so I have not picked up on a pattern to support either way your question/statement.
