G'day,

Could someone post up some pics of the original boot light fitment in an FE. I have a repro kit to install but cant make sense of the instructions on where the light fitting goes exactly. Car is an early FE without the wheel arch to panel reinforcement which is maybe where the light fitting is supposed to to be mounted? Thanks Al

That is tricky, I’m thinking early FE ahead the FJ about light which is totally different.
The conventional FE FC boot light mounts on the panel which is missing in early FE.
I will look into this a bit further.

One of the "Accelerator" magazines had a picture of a boot lamp kit, with what looked like an FJ brake light switch . . .

Remember: if your Holden's not leaking oil, it doesn't have any.

Great, thanks for your responses. I have a copy of the fitment instructions but would like a photo of the lamp location of an original setup if someone has one fitted. Al

Thanks Alex, that is the photo I needed to see. I assume that is original fitment from 1956?? Al

Checked my old pics of the green FC and it is right where you show it Alex. For some reason I thought it was mounted on the reinforcing panel.
