Has anybody else found the rear fog and reversing light to be a bit of a nuisance? I’ve had mine taped up with insulation tape for some time now as I feared I might lose them. The issue seems to be the thin metal rolled thread that holds the lens into the rubber mount. The threads have never seemed to engage very well. Tried different fixes without success, ptfe tape, Vaseline on the rubber etc. Could never get them to tightened and align the dummy rivets in either the horizontal or vertical orientation. And if you did manage to get them tight they felt like they would pop back out again at the next pot hole.
So now they have gone. Replaced them with something a little more conventional, courtesy of the Morris Minor parts bin and some new rubber mounts. They were the best combination I could find that were still in keeping with the character of the car, although I know the purest may not agree!
