Rear number Plate/light holder

Post by spotpaul »

Hi all, does anyone know where I could buy a rear number plate and light holder? The one which “moulds” to the rear mudguard. (For a 1960 g5).
Many thanks,
Terry.

Ive have a couple of rear AMC number plate units that might fit, they are not from a heavyweight, if you can find a drawing or photo I can compare them with.

Terry, Sorry the rear light is different, mine are the Lucas L564 ones as fitted to the heavyweights, the profile on one does not match the mudguard, and the other one the top light section does not reach the mudguard, so I don't know what they are, they both have the flute for the centre of the mudguard.

Thank you so much for posting the pics Les. Just don't recognise the hole in the top. Comboman thinks it could be right for my bike and I was going for it till I saw the hole.
