Rear Tail Lights. Mounted high. No "spacers" required.

All of the originals were a little different. But for the most part CSX2286, 2287 and 2299 were like FFR's placement and CSX2601, 2602 and 2300 were high. I like the high placement because I think it Accentuates the uniqueness of the Daytona's Kamm tail.
As much as I like the vintage looks, I also like Pete Brocks newer interpretation with the single reverse light on the left side, so I will be doing this.
A Lot of thought went into the layout I chose along with how the lights would pickup the mount.
The upper lamps won't hit the mounts, but will be right above them. The body will be "lamp secured" with the lower lamps on both sides and the reverse lamp on the left.
Here is a shot of the mounts with the holes.
A lot of people have commented that they felt like they needed "spacers" when securing the rear lamps to the body mounts, however I found that there is quite a bit of flex in the rear body panal and that it can easily draw up tight to the mount without requiring a spacer.

And a inside pic of the body holes. Highlighted is an image of FFR's placement that I just noticed.
