Last spring I finally found a nice LED brake light for my MG-TD at
www.jandlenterprise.com -- their BrakeLighter is 12"x<1", exterior mount
[website doesn't say so, but it is--all molded plastic]. We made two
aluminum brackets, similar to badge-bar clips, to fasten it to the luggage
rack, and wired it to plug into the trailer-light plug. [If we're towing
the trailer, we really don't need the extra brake light--trailer lights are
huge.] I'll be buying one for the Healey at Rhinebeck next month; now to
figure out a way to mount this one without drilling holes in the deck
lid....
