Rich,
The light is a Lucas 469 used on early ‘50s Jaguars and many other British cars. There are two versions of the light, one where the mounting bolts exit the rear of the housing and another where they exit the bottom. I chose to use the one where the bolts exit the bottom. It allowed me to fabricate a bracket to mount to the rear of the car and have the light remain horizontal rather than aiming skyward due to the slope on the rear on the 36. You can see from this photo I was able to keep the light pretty close to the body and used the top hole of the spare tire mount to run the wire into the trunk.
