Today got back to the project for a proper half day. Continuing with 'bits' I went back to the rear tail light. The basic problem is the two small (#4) screws / nuts are almost impossible to install.
The best option that we could come with was for a AL base, remove most of the fibreglass, and soldered a core of copper on the two nuts to stop them rotating.
I mixed up a stiff batch of silica resin and bonded the two halves together. Hopefully the boelube on the screw threads will provide a release agent. We shall see.......
