TD Tail Light Mounting?

Post by Bruce Berger »

All,

While I have my truck down for maintenance and upgrades I wanted to mount a pair of TD tail light units. They only take two bolts but the flange on the left side where the tail light is mounted has an unused cup behind it and one of the TD tail light mounting bolts will come out inside the cup. Is there an easy way to remove the cup or is my best option to just cut a hole in it with a cut off wheel to get the nut on it? I'm concerned about it collecting dirt and water.

Has anyone else come up with a good alternative solution for mounting TD tail lamps?

Thanks,
Bruce Berger

Bruce,
all Austrian army gas pinzies have the TD back lights, but they have been modified with TD mounting plate. I have mounted a couple of Fiat Daily lights. If you like I could send you pics of both.
