Ted,

Actually I bought a replacement tail/lid for my 1986 911 Turbo, and since it was off a 1987 Turbo, it had the exterior mounted light. Unfortunately when I was transferring some of the hardware from old to new, I leaned on the tail (that was laying upside down) and broke the plastic reinforcement that had held the embedded long nuts in place. My existing setup has the third brake light installed on the interior rear roof. But since the new lid has holes for the brake light, cosmetically I don't think it would look good to forgo the light.

At this point I think I may be ok. I stopped off and got a couple of tubes of epoxy and filled the lower chamber with that stuff and set the brass threaded screws into the mix. It seems to have setup a very strong bond that I think is far better than the original weak configuration. Tonight I will be carving out along the inner edge of the pedestal so I can re-install the rubber washer.

Thanks,
David
