Pete is that to cover up the holes where a 4x4 one has been fitted so you can have ambers ?

I am surprised you found some.

That's the one, mine has had the holes butchered in the rear panel and have found it difficult to get someone to weld them up as they're afraid the heat will distort the panel, so keeping an eye out for a whole new rear panel 😆

Forgot to say say the guy I got it from has ten apparently if anyone's after one, he's sending me another to replace one that was damaged when it arrived.

Judging by the box it might be a marmite purchase 😬

You won't distort the rear panel from the minute amount of welding needed to fill the holes lol,

why not just paint the rear panel body colour - that way you dont need to fill any holes in and you can always change back to the later lights and black panel later

I can weld those holes up without causing any damage. Nice block of copper behind as a heat sink job done.
