    Being as you are in Ottawa I would make a call to Restoration Design in Guelph. They don't list it but it's one of the few pieces they don't have, but they are always adding new pieces. I'm sure they would know if anyone is making it. Good luck.

    Hi, we have made them in the past (poor pic but the only one I could find), but it would be great is someone took this project on and made them commercially. I would be very interested as I have a few new SWB Porsche rear wings which do not have the light box fitted.





    Thanks

    Alan
