GRIFFITH REAR BRAKE LIGHT LAMP...???

[daryl benfield]

Hi, I have heard the Griffith's rear number plate light is lit up from behind the plate itself.

Is this true? As I would like to purschase the lamp etc to use on another car as part of my project. Does anyone know where I can get hold of one?

Regards,

Daryl Benfield.

The lamps are just standard number plate lights , simply set beind rather than in front of the plate.
If you go to a number plate maunfacturer you can buy translucent plates for TVRs. eg www.fancyplates.co.uk - these allow the light to pass thtrough the yellow section whilst the black numbers/letters dont allow light through.

Major Mod?

About as major a mod as you can have in my opinion - after all he's taking a Griffith and modifying all but the number plate light.

Compared to such a major modification fitting an LS engine into a Chimaera is very small potatoes!

PS And he obviously has taste as he has decided to modify a Griffith rather than a Chimaera!

I need the boot for the clubs.

LOL! It's not even going on a TVR, a VW actually. My dad built alot of Tuscan racers and tuned/serviced TVR's so got the idea for the light from seeing the Griffiths.

What type of VDub?

a new beetle, ARGH I hear you cry LOL!

Check out www.bmsdevelopments.com, that's my motor on there.

PS - if anyone needs a tvr serviced at competitive prices in Essex, look us up!

Link does not work. Like the Old Beetles (my first car - good for learning to drive sideways). New ones fine - just packageing seem odd - largest (deepest) dash on any car, wife wanted one but steered her to a Puma.

Take the comma out dude!

I think that should be your job!

Very bling - kind of nice - give me a lowered split window camper every time - with a flat six in it! Corvair or Porker (as long as Jamie Oliver is no way in sight!

[daryl benfield]

LOL that is my job!

Yeah I do have a soft spots for the splits. had a 74 cal look bug a few years back.

Cool job - I had a Beetle with 1600 in it and disc on front hacked off a 1500, 4 into 1 tiny steering wheel, big tyres. Same colour as Herbie - should have put the number and stipes on it.
