Hi All,

I'm after a little bit of information if that's OK. I've bought a second drum tail light and bracket for my 1928 Phaeton. It's RHD so the existing light is on the right - the new light will go on the left.

My question is... I'm going to have to drill three new holes on the left hand side at the bottom of the body - what am I going to be drilling into? The existing light is held in place with coach bolts so I assume there will either be metal that I can tap or wood? I'd be grateful if anyone with experience of doing this could help - I've had a quick search to see if it's been covered before but didn't come across anything in the first few pages....
