 |
|
| I need the tail light seals that fit between the body and the chrome tail light. I believe the part number is 141-945-177 or 141-945-177A. I haven't been able to locate either new or used. Help! |

| I still need help! What does the 2 additional screw holes in the body ajacent to the tail light lens attach to? Pictures or illustrations would be great. I have searched and could not find any info. Thanks again. |

The two holes you refer to are for the up to mid '57 bulb housing. These use festoon type bulbs . If you have later bulb housing with bayonet bulbs these holes become redundant.

| Thanks guys, for your help! The bulb holders that I have are the bayonette style. Now after 30 yrs of disassembly, I hope I can find the proper tail light lens screws. Anyone have the part numbers? My car is a 1958 coupe. |

looking at my parts bookâ¦.
reflector is held with 141 945 181 screw, cheese head - bulb holder up to chassis No. 1 708 049 qty=4
lens cover is held in with 141 945 185 Screw, countersunk raised head -Rim up to chassis 1 708 049 Qty = 4
My parts book only shows the Lowlight tail-light with the festoon bulbs.

M4x20mm should be fine.
Slotted raised countersunk.
Easy to get in stainless steel, although the originals are plated brass.
