How to mount trunk light on double skin boot?
I have a double skin boot, and I want to mount a Lucas back-up light. Has anybody a picture of how they did this. I figured a one inch hole in the boot with a rubber grommet? Would allow access to the mounting nut.

If you are using the original backing washer on the 576, it is bigger than 1" dia

Ive seen one done with a 2" hole drilled on the inner skin and then a 2" backing washer (use a Magnet to get it through the hole) on the Spotlight.
Finished with a large Rubber Grommet that the wires come through. Nice neat job.

Thanks. I'll check my supplier for a large rubber grommet.
