Attached is a pic of my early Ruby with lights attached and restoration was nearing completion.
An interesting issue I found when restoring the rear wings, there were four holes located in the rear of each wing, three matched the rear wing lights, 2 for fixing and 1 for the wiring and a 4th hole directly below the holes for the lights which I "assumed" were for reflectors, and that's how they were installed.
However once the rear bumper was finally installed, it completely blocked out the reflectors from view and were totally useless, I have no idea what if anything any previous owner had done to get round this but as the wings were fully restored and installed, I really could not go back and redo them again and so now I have a second set of reflectors hanging off the rear bumpers......... So as they say check everything!!
