A little off-topic (love the attention to detail on the customisation, Vince) but it's now España vs Holandia el domingo! IMO Germany deserved to win last night, (and I know JS about soccer!), but I'm pleased that Spain made it through, all the same.

Hi Steve

Are you Spanish or English, Steve ?
I think you had a great party yesterday.

Well, I'm not that heroic and neither a nationalist, but it would be nice to see the world go orange,

Found this chrome piece at Mid-Ohio over the weekend. It's stamped 'Stanley D-2R' and I think it was originally meant for a Black Bomber (it mounts behind that alloy backing plate).

Anyone seen this piece before???

Hi Vince,

Yes, I have one of these on my 1965 bomber.

Is yours chrome? This one was actually rechromed (by Ronnie Brown, believe it or not!), and I got it for $10, so I thought that was pretty good.

Nice little touch, I think, and I might end up chroming that backing plate so that it all matches.

Hi Vince,

Yes, it's chrome, need a picture ? (to prove it ?), just kidding,
, tonight I will make a picture of it, and place it here.

The 1965 Bomber comes from the US, I've never seen this kind if taillight on European models, actually, I have not seen one before until you showed that picture.
