tail light mounting stud spacing

hey guys,

i am going to try to locally source some tail lights to mount on my 50 f1. i cant seem to locate my brackets and lights at the moment.. does anyone know off hand the stud spacing at the back of the taillight?

i am going to try and swing by the tractor trailer supply house and see what they have.


thanks

Well, I will look in my build thread for this. I know I measured mine when I replaced the brackets, because the modern lights don't fit the original brackets. The newer lights spacing is wider.

EDIT:

The original taillights mounting bolts are 1 13/16" on center, whereas all newer tail lights mounting bolts are 2" on center.
