Ok so now the next problem, tail light studs dont go through enough now the wood is on. From memory the last wood kit had holes cut out the shape of the tail light, this kit which is proper has a slight countersunk bit but still not enough to attatch the special little nuts on the end.

My plan is to buy some theaded rod and replace the studs with longer ones which leads me to my question, does anyone know what size the studs are so I know what size threaded rod to order?

Went into a local shop but the bloke was a complete so and so, wouldnt help me unless I wanted to order a bulk supply of rod.
