I have a set of repop rear fenders for my '64 that have no mounting holes for the tail lights.

I've been searching the forums, but can only find the tech bulletin that references dimensions from "earlier" holes.

Does anyone have a the hole locations/measurements they can share? I will be mounting the original '64 lights.

Thanks,

I took some measurements off my fender for reference. The measurements off the cut out for the bumper bracket are measured off the center top of the hole.

Out of curiosity I double checked the measurements I took from one fender and checked them against the other side and found there was some variation between them (2-5mm). Both my rear fenders are the originals so I suppose those are just small variances that happened during original assembly.

I doubt you would notice that amount of variation between sides so it doesn't seem like enough to be a concern but I thought I would note it.
