Greetings:
I am trying to assess the proper configuration for the Mk1-3 rear license 
plate light.  To plinth or not to plinth, that is the question.  The factory 
parts book states that only Canada, Denmark, Germany, and the USA had plinths 
(a spacer that puts the light farther out creating a larger lighting 
pattern), and a 2-bulb light.  I have 4 Mk1's and no plinths (I did buy one 
from Jeff on ebay).  My main question is: What kind of seal is between the 
plinth and the car body.  Does anyone have this seal for sale or trade? Part 
# 613110.
How many of you have plinths and how many are plinthless.  BTW, my old Bugeye 
had a plinth about twice as wide as the Spit's.  Was the plinth a government 
edict to better discern Spit tag plates?
