Default High level brake light attachment

Hi All


I think my car is missing an attachment bracket for the high level brake light. A previous owner has stuck it to the glass with double sided sticky tape with inevitable results - it's come off.


There are two slots in the light assembly which seem to be there to locate into a bracket stuck to the screen - this is the bit I am missing I think.


eBay has not helped as a source - any ideas?


Cheers


Glen.

I had to use epoxy to 'glue' mine back on, even tho the whole thing was crumbling. You might try a junkyard. There is a specialty junkyard in California that specializes in Jags.

Maybe Guadin or Barrett for a new unit (pricey).

The mounting bosses are supplied with the rear windscreen assy.
They are probably NSS (not sold/serviced separately).

Here is an old TSB for detached HMSL.
