In the ongoing restoration of my TR4A, I have come to the decision to go
bumperless. However, this leaves me with no backup or license plate lights.
Therefore, I have decided to mount TR-250 backup lamps, but I need dimensions
on where to locate them, what size holes, etc. Is anybody able to provide
those? I'm also open to suggestions for providing a license plate lamp as
well, any idea?
Thanks in advance,

Raymond, one possibility might be to use the Spitfire or GT6's 1970-only
combination license plate lamp and backup lamp assembly on the bootlid. For
examples, see:

Note that, in the first image, the unit has been modified slightly with a
red lamp where the normally white backup lamp lens would be.
SFI (slight financial interest) disclosure: If you're interested in one of
these units, I have several from which to choose! :-)
