Glen claims to be from SA, but he sounds like he's from over where you work Tin...

Glen, I have asked the installer for the specs and he told me they were from the 2007 Mustang, they are driving lights and made out of plastic. I am still waiting for the part number. Cheers, John

Tim, Sorry for the late reply, could not get a drawing from the installer since they were one off so next best thing is this picture showing a three way mounting set up. Looks like a very simple application. Hope this helps.
BTW I got a date for reclamation of the car. December 12th, all the fixes are in and the car is getting some miles put on it. Hooray. 
Cheers, John, AKA, tin-man.

Well, that should keep the rocks out of the radiator, but what's going to keep the rocks out of the lights?

Mikie, All the issues have been resolved and I am to pick my car up in Irvine from Hillbank Motors on December 12th. I will drive it for a day or so and then have it shipped to Phoenix for delivery on the 16th. I conclude there will never be anymore issues with the car and I will enjoy it for many years in my retirement.  Here's hoping.
Will you be having the regular gathering on Saturday 17th at Safeway?
Cheers, John, AKA, tin-man
