Yeah, A pic with heaps of measurements would be good.Would help out heaps.Thanx
Here you go, positioning for heart tail lights. I reckon getting them in the right spot has to be one of the most important things when doing a 54 or 55, they just look odd if the tail lights are too high.
Cheers

The hole measurements in the lower right didn't come out too well after the resize, its 50mm centre to centre across between the big holes, 35mm down from the centreline of the big holes to the centre of the bottom hole, 25mm up to the top one. So its 60mm from the centre of the top hole to the centre of the bottom hole.
Hope this helps
Cheers
