Re-assembling the Rear Brake Light

Once the spray-painting of the rear light was completed, I re-assembled the rear brake light:
  • The copper light fitting was really rusted and I sand-blasted that and then spray painted it in a brilliant white - mainly to improve the reflection from the bulb;
  • I then re-fitted the wiring into the fitting;
  • Fitted the original red glass into the housing;
  • Fitted a replacement see-through glass for the number plate light;
  • Completed the assembly.

The 1941 original red glass lense and the original retaining wire fitted

The flip side - note the Harley-Davidson stamped on the top of the 1941 original steel cover
