The right position of the beehive tail lights on a T1 model

#1 Post by Frederic Dumont »

Hello,
When i bought my car, the body had already been restored but the beehive tail lights were not placed at the right position.
So, i want to move them as they should be.
Does anybody have a plan or information concerning the precise position, including the distances between them.
I want to know the horizontal and the vertical positions.Thanks for your help.

Best Regards from France.

There are 20 posts on that page, many of them meaningless chit chat, so you will have to scroll through the entire page to extract any potentially useful information, which seems to be the following (I'm only quoting this, can't verify its accuracy):
beehive light hole sizes, main hole is 30mm dia, mount holes are 53mm apart and its 85mm between the lights going by the main hole...The outer lights are slightly higher than the inners (~.75"). All dimensions are from centerline to centerline.
