Default bell mouth fittings

Finished making three bellmouth fittings today, there are two of these on a Mk1 carrier, one for finishing the conduit end of to the rear convoy light switch and one for the horn on the front plate. The one in the middle is the original.

Also made a brake rod spring from an original one, made from spring steel.

Trying to figure out the wiring of the tail light and the convoy light with the rear switch.

I think I got it "right" in my picture I drew up. Any input is much appreciated.

Default Rear switch

Hi Jordan, Brian Asbury once sold a rear tail light wire (short piece of wire with crimps on) I bought two of these a while back but have not figured out how its supposed to be wired into the circuit, Are you familiar with this wire?, not sure if he still sells them.

A couple of pics of the rear light switch from BP's carrier. If you click on the light switch first pic and zoom in you can see how the switch is supposed to be labelled.
