Keith66 Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 Hi Guy’s Bit of help on a part needed. My 72 has (or should have) the number plate light in the bumper. Def had one when it arrived but I only seem to have parts of it left. Now I have the nice shiny chrome bit and one lens but that’s all I can find. So basically I’m short of the gasket, one lens and the stamped bulb holder baseplate. My theory is that when I took it apart all those months years ago the bumper was so mega rusted the baseplate didn’t really exist anymore and one lens got broken or was missing. The pic tells the rust story. So I need 151954, or some of it. Now given the price of chrome stuff I’ve got the expensive bit but no-one seems to sell the base plate, although I can get the other bits. So does anyone have the baseplate for a bumper mounted number plate light or know where I might get one. No to fussed about the condition as once I’ve got something to work from I’d be hopeful of repairing or refurbing anything. Cheers Keith Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mk2 Chopper Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 Worse case you can buy a repro complete one and sell on the chrome cover. Gareth Quote Link to post Share on other sites
