So, no, I don't recall seeing any '60s FIA Cobras being fitted with eye level auxiliary brake lights.... but I do however need one to satisfy local road registration requirements.
As well as keeping officialdom happy, it may also prevent some dozey dummy rear-ending my car....so I'm happy at a number of levels to comply.
Some pics...

Glen,
Looks like it should work. Nice looking bracket. My only question is, how long is that extension cord that comes out of the boot to power the light? Will it be long enough for a spirited drive? 
Cheers,
Jim

And can you remove it after you're inspected? Or does it stay on forever?  |

Well, I can ask it another way. What do you have to keep there permanently, or at least while driving in OZ, and what can you politely remove after passing your initial inspection? |

Patrick, in the case of the eye-level brake light, it certainly is an added safety feature, so it will be staying there. Legally, as well, it must stay there.
The light itself is period correct, so I'm happy enough with its necessary inclusion.
Cheers,
Glen

I'm at the stage of tidying up some of the less significant areas on the car.
The boot/trunk has some 'gaps' to fill....
Made up a couple of simple panels to make it a little neater looking....
edit:
edit:
This area of the trunk still isn't sealed ....but I really can't see how I can 100% seal it against dust and water ingress.
No IP rating for me, huh 
Still, can't see myself driving on unsealed roads or in the rain too often.…
Cheers!
Glen

Hi Jim. Would you believe it’s a stretchy cord?
No, no, I’m kidding.
Here’s what the power cord is attached to…
 .
And yes, the need to be charging/conditioning the battery – or even have a battery fitted – is questionable when you consider what’s under the hood....
ie - nothing 
We Australians like to anticipate and plan well ahead.
Cheers!
