Subject: Re: rear license bracket
>Hi Frank,
I have those brackets, but apparently there is an additional little bracket
that bolts on top or in between the radiator/inner wheel arch bracket that
holds that clip.Glad to find out I don't need anything else for the seals.I
guess that will be tomorrow's project.On the turn signal light I found out
that this is a wraning light as well, to let you know if a bulb is burned
out. Since the bonnet harness was not hooked up, it probably saw this a
'bulb failure' hence the steady light. After the fact it seems simple.You've
got to love the British. Carol.
