[QUOTE="Simon Dinsdale, post: 83012, member: 58"] As far as I know the tank should have the Mercury HRD Transfer on the top. The rear light on a series A Comet and Meteor should be a Miller 35E. Originals are real rocking horse s##t, but Rudge also used the light and this website advertises replicas: [URL]http://www.rudge.parts/lighting-equipment.html[/URL] I have had the odd bit from there and the quality is good, but I have not seen one of their 35E lights. As a note the original 35E was just a back light and no brake light was fitted. The replica is a back & brake light so you need to fit a brake light switch. I believe legally in the U.K. You need a brake light if fitting lights, but prior to a certain date you may be exempt. Maybe somebody could advise on that. Simon [/QUOTE]
