[TR] tr-3 rear license plate lamp

[wbeech at flash.net]

Gary,
Look around just above those big holes and you should find the smaller
holes(or remnants of them) for mounting the fixture.  The big hole is for
the wiring.  The fixture should mount just above the spare cover, and you
should not have to tuck it under the light fixture to close it. 

Hope this helps,
Bill

Subject: [TR] tr-3 rear license plate lamp

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!!
