Small improvement but make it more realistic. Keep the steering wheel a bit more flat. Really curious about the resin rear mudguards. Are they wider than the originals?

no they are not wider,they will just have indicators on and rear lights,they are made by Ian at tab models

some tidy work there Paul, the wheels make a big difference on the 66. It's a shame about the superglue fogging the window but at least  the weathering has hidden it ( as an aside, why does this phone insist on changing fogging to dogging ???)

I'd say after almost 45 years off Saftey cabbed 7A Ford's being worked hard , you will find it hard to get a pic off an original one with the light still there , unless it's restored, best I can find is the rear off a UH 7600 if it helps Paul.

Here are the two positions I recall (apologies for brutally hacking Justin's pic)

Inside light cluster on right, but I also remember (could have been on a 4000) the ploughing light under/behind the toolbox on the left hand side.

The difficulty with the position on the original UH pic is that it blocks the view of the indicator
