My Top Hat is 1926 but it's a late, 4 piece bonnet, 7" brake car, 1927 model really.
The number plate was mounted on a hoop but this had been "got at" over the years and re-formed with straight lines and corners so I straightened it and remade it with gentle curves.
I believe this is the original CAV tail light and bracket:

Which was originally longer (it's broken off on the left) and riveted to the number plate. It should be bent into a curve, some of which survives.
I've put a bar across the number plate to support a pair of replica AT201 tail lights plus indicators - my car is a driver.
