Chris,
On seeing Marc Small's message, and re-reading yours, I now realize you
meant no Sunbeam ever had *amber* taillights with screws from the outside,
and that you didn't mean no Sunbeam ever had taillights of any color with
screws from the outside. Which is exactly what you wrote. I apologize
for the confusion.
And, no, I could care less about the originality of which side
my g*dd*mn screw goes through! Just as long as I don't have a
screw loose - which is always debatable.

"Since I reproduced both the amber and red upper lenses last year many
people have asked me why we didn't make the upper amber with outside screw
holes. The answer is simple the Sunbeam Alpine & Tiger never had them.
These lense were originally made only for the home market and Europe and
no outside screw was every produced. Yes, we try to keep our repro's as
close to original as possible."

Wait, do you mean that all the Sunbeams with lenses with outside screws
were replacement lenses for broken factory lenses?
Then why do you have to open up the hole on the base to make
the screw from the back go through? Or does that mean
all the bases and the lenses were replaced?
