Good tip, Bob, thanks for this. I need to put a RH taillight on my Sedan. Engineer that I am, I would have done this analytically by transferring measurements. Looks like I get to enlist my bride as Visual QA on this one.

Any of you with original part numbers - are the RH taillight brackets the same across all the passenger car bodies (aftermarket suppliers seem to imply so)? Looking specifically for any cross-applications with 1930 Murray Town Sedan.
