Wanted : 1973 & later Commando tail lamp assembly

NickZ · Dec 24, 2021

Since the Wanted to Buy forum is still under reconstruction I thought I would post it here. I'm looking for the complete assembly or any of:

06.3733 fairing bead

06.3731 fairing

06.3727 support bracket

06.3724 rear number plate mounting bracket
06.8058 rear lamp lens

Do you already have the rubber backing with the metal mounting bracket (and bulb holder unless you intend to fit an LED light board?) as studs on the bracket are used to attach the tail lamp assembly to the number plate and support brackets.
The lens also fastens onto the lamp bracket. My apologies if you already know this.

At the risk of derailing this thread, does anybody know if the earlier (1969-1972) tail light assembly will bolt directly to the 1973 and later rear fender and loop? As in all the existing holes line up without drilling or enlarging??

No, I don't have any of it except the fastener hardware (with the exception of the pillar nuts & 06.3926 which I believe is a special bolt).
Also, is 06.6374 backing plate necessary (29A in AN parts diagram)? I don't see where it would go.

Drilling required - if I remember right, two more holes are needed.

Nick,

I have a complete assembly from my '75 MK3, if you are interested. I'll PM some pictures to you.

Yes, 06.3926 is a special (drilled and threaded) bolt.

Not necessary in my opinion (even for a UK/Euro size number plate) and it isn't on the original parts list.

I believe the pillar nuts are 10-32 UNF Should not be hard to find.

Do you know their length?
