The last week or so has been spent on restoring and painting the rear number plate and fabricating a replacement box for it and the original rear lights.  The box was fabricated from zintec, I was able to fold it up all except for the rounded corners and their flanges which needed to be formed separately and welded in.  A very time consuming job. I also cleaned the paint off the two porthole glasses which form the rear lights. The inner light (tail light) has a frosted red glass to reduce the light output and the outer (brake) light a plain glass. Illumination is by two 24v bulbs mounted behind the glasses.
