Just a quick one, will mk1 rear lights fit straight on to my 1982 city E ? Or will I need to modify or change something ?

Thanks

no you will have to weld in conversion plates and touch up the paint work

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong here

aswell as welding and painting the coversion plates. I assume your existing lights have a reversing light (MK3/4) and the MK1's don't. Although I dont think it is an MOT failure, you may want to consider a reversing lamp...

yes you will need to loose or reposition the reversing lights

Ok thanks for the help, are reversing lights a legal requirement ?
