2cv Rear Lighting Panel Replacement

When the rear panel has been cut from the 2cv , be prepared to remake some of the lower rear floor. If the area where the spare wheel sits is holed be prepared again to maybe replace the whole boot floor.
When working and refitting the rear panel of the 2cv make sure that the edges of the boot orifice do not widen as the boot lid will fail to close. I use a woodworking sash clamp to hold the sides parallel. It is a good idea to measure across the boot gap before starting work.
Lastly a tip on fitting number plates. In GB our plastic number plates expand and contract with the seasons and I always use three retaining bolts with oversize holes to allow the number plate to move with temperature. Finally you will notice that my fixings are above the centre line. This is because when you hand on the inside you will find that you are restricted in the method of fixing.
