Can anyone post a picture detailing the rear section without the light bodes fitted

[AlexJ]

I have seen some where a picture of a SWB chassis without the rear lights fitted, and it looks to me different from the latter chassis, where they are opened.

I really need to check this detail for the restoration of my SWB.

I will really appreciate if someone could post some details of this area.

Thanks in advance.

Not sure what you want to see but here's a few

Hi Mtemp!

Nice work on your car.

My 68T chassis has been, at some point, converted to SC look and now I am building it back to its original condition.

I have heard that the rear boxe's light were closed verticaly and mine are open as the latter chassis.
I need this photos to try to recreate a SWB original light box.

If you can post some detail of the vertical panel on a closer shot, I'll apreciate.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Here is a photo showing the area I need the detail:

Sorry they're the best I have - the car is all boxed up now.

They're pretty hi-res pictures though so downloading and enlarging them might help.

Ok, I'lldo that.

Thanks anyway!

Just in case... do you have any spare rear light boxes ?? Any condition?

No I don't I'm afraid, and they are very hard to come by in Europe because of the weather/lack of original protection combination. I did find a pair, and also found it easier to fit them with a section of the rear wing, rather than just the light box, as getting the old one out causes so much distortion of the rear wing unless you are very careful - and also that section of the rear wing is usually in as bad a state as the lightbox.

Actually I lie ...... I think I do have one poor one attached to an old section of rear wing in my shed somewhere. Do you just want more detailed measurements/photos?
Anyway let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Senility approaches .....

That is where I found them.

If you can not afford Jim's prices than making them yourself is probably your next best alternative
