[TR] tr-3 rear license plate lamp

[Gary Nafziger]

Finally trial fitted the rear license plate lamp on my tr-3 resto.  Amazingly it doesn't seem to be even close to fitting.  The holes line up but the nuts holding the lamp on are several sizes smaller than the holes in the body.  Also the lamp hangs down below the opening for the spare tire opening, interfering with the spare tire cover.  Or maybe the spare tire cover slides up behind the license plate lamp when installed?  I'm thinking maybe I'm missing a plate of some kind that attaches to the car body........which then the license plate lamp attaches too?  
Could someone check they're tr-3?  
thanks!!
