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.

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........

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

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

Yes, I agree. Good effort Kevin!

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,
