[TR] Couple of things bugging me

[Ibsen Dow]

I just recently ordered a new pair of rear fender beads that fit under the
rear tail lights. The after market ones that I received were shorter in length
then my originals ones. The bent tab goes to the bottom of the wing. It is
bent on purpose at approx more then 45 degrees to help support the rear fender
bead. My gap on the new ones are approx. 1/2" too short in length compared to
my old ones.
However when I went mount the new ones, one of the taillights that was mounted
on the fresh restoration, was actually off by a 1/2 ". It sat lower then the
other taillight. So one of the new beads fit like it was supposed to and the
other new bead was a 1/2 too short. I remounted the tail light and was able to
take up the gap. Before, visibly you couldn't noticed it being off with
exception of the gap.

Regards,
Ibsen

  You See!  Marty our blind Concours Judge can feel that gap and will
massacre
  me for it.  I am going to say that these are simply upside down  and the
  finisher should go under the tail light base, not come up a 1/4'  short. Can
  anyone confirm?
  It really looks stupid,
