Re: Stainless Tail Light Brackets 47-53?

Thanks!

Yeah I bought the same brackets for my '51 as 49-561 and 49-562 in the classicparts.com catalog, except stainless and from a different vendor. It appears I can attach them to the rear of the stakes but the plate bracket (and thus the plate itself) come inside too far and either interfere with the tailgate (if mounted too high) or with some custom tail lights I have in the roll pan (if mounted low). I also end up with open holes and rust where the original was mounted. Was expecting the new brackets to swap right over and cover the same area. I'm going to look into getting some angle aluminum or aluminum plate to make a custom bracket so I can mount them in front of the stake. I wonder if anyone has tried this...
