slat tub tail light brackets and cowl reinforcement

Post by Barry Hampton » Wed Apr 24, 2013 3:46 am

I was looking at the MD Juan topic on Technical Issues and noticed that their chart shows the tail light bracket to be horizontal from start of production on the ACM1tubs - was this done for early tubs or is it a mistake on MD Juans part? My own 12th Feb tub has vertical tail light brackets as shown on attached pic.
Also their early repro slat grill tubs have a cowl reinforcement - i thought this only came in on ACM2 tubs - their mistake or mine?

Thanks Jim, I thought I was cracking up for a moment there! Self doubt is a terrible thing.
