I am searching for confirmation as to whether a 67 Deluxe came standard with two screw rear light assembly or three screw. In my case, the PO has installed one of each.

cheers

Pretty sure a 67 is 3 screw.
My 70 Mini is 2 screw, Oz made lights.

In his book John Snedddon says June 1967 for the change to two screw, although Lucas made the announcement in Jan 1967, so who knows for sure?

If it helps - the tail lights on YMA2S2 22269 are 3 screw and I think it was unrestored.

The original wiring loom would also indicate which type.

The early 3 screw assemblies had short wires coming out of the bulb sockets with lucas bullet connectors on the loom.

The later 2 screw assemblies had female spade plugs directly onto the back of the bulb sockets.
