ken foster Posted August 4, 2022 Report Share Posted August 4, 2022 Can anybody please identify the part bolted to the underside of my spare wheel carrier on my early long door car? I can only assume its some kind of jacking point. Could be for spare wheel anchor but, my guess is an early jack point (competition accessory?) or only early fitment, can't see it in the Moss catalogue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ken foster Posted August 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2022 Mmmm? Does it bolt to the chassis through the rear cross tube I wonder? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted August 4, 2022 Report Share Posted August 4, 2022 More like a reversing light or the remains of. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
billy l Posted August 4, 2022 Report Share Posted August 4, 2022 Yep, as Stuart says above, centre mounted reversing light. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, I wasn’t expecting that one. no bumper to bolt to, so I see the logic. Incidentally, the trumpet part is in body colour…. White. ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That may well be true, but why is the mounting bracket fitted at an odd angle? And where is the hole in the floor for the wires to go through? Plus “Reversing light” is not a very exotic/exciting answer really is it. I’m certain the real reason it is there is far more interesting. Ah… So now we have a bit of it described as a “Trumpet part.” See… Getting more intriguing now. (How many reversing lights have a "Trumpet part" attached to them?)

Or an oil slick! Reminds me, didn't Tilly Masterson drive a sidescreen TR in the original Goldfinger novel ?? Oooh blimey. Has Ken got himself a Bond TR ??
