I searched- didn't find what I need. Deck lid has no holes for reference. 1st off- Can someone measure from bottom lip of lid to mounting holes or CL for each. Can you include a pic? I have the bracket for plate. Is there a gasket that goes between bracket & body? I have the repro light housing, the base gasket & the bulb but no bulb bracket. What does this bracket look like & a pic? Anyone have a spare? I can make one if I know what it looks like. 2nd part of question I'd rather run it below the deck lid if possible I'm not running bumpers so that area is wide open. Any one else mounted one there. I'd like to see what you are running.
Steve - here's a photo for reference - don't have the measurements but could measure tomorrow. The license plate light is a regular tail light socket for an 1156 type bulb as I recall, which pushes into the large center hole. The license plate bracket does not have a gasket - but it should and I may make one when the car is put back together and at the same time put the correct trunk handle on it. Running a license plate below the tailpan is a PITA - it will get bent or broken in short order. Whenever I have done that I have reverse mounted a 1970s GM flip up license plate bracket which used to hide the filler neck on Caprice, Olds Regal etc., but in the end I have just put them back out of harm's way....
