Default Lucas tail lights, my latest efforts

During the last week or two I have been modding the rear of the chariot.
I have fitted LED reversing lamps and early Lucas tail lights.
They where suprisingly simple to fit, unlike anything else I do.
To begin with I cut out the holes required to mount the tail lamps so they mounted in the centre of the raised tail light section with the top of the lamps about 30mm down from the top of the body section.
With the lights fitted I drew an outline of the lights with a greylead pencil, removed the lights and got destructive with a flap disk in the grinder.
Once the shape was about right, hand sanding was required and after a couple of hits with spray putty and a bit more rubbing to get rid of air bubbles they have come up quite well.
The body on the CRs is quite thick around the lights and there is no need to fill behind the lamps on my body at least
