MG TD TF 1500 - TF 1500 rear reflector placement

My body man welded up the holes for mounting the TF 1500 rear reflectors. Can someone send me a fine measurement of how far below the top trim rail and how far from the fuel tank end panel to the rubber surround of the reflector?
thanks,
Tyler

Here's a shot of mine. I don't know about specific measurements. Not much room for variation on this. The "hole" above the reflector is for a tonneau stud that I need to reinstall.

Tyler,

On my car, the edge of the reflector rubber is exactly 1 inch below the bottom edge of the convertible top and 3/16 of an inch out from the gas tank side panel.

Tyler,
Have photographed the reflector hole on my TF1500 for you but as we use metric in Australia & I couldn't locate my imperial ruler hope this helps.
Down from the top is exactly 70mm
In from the end fold of the rear panel behind the gas tank 80mm.
Cheers John

OBTW:
Good time to drill another and run wires from brake/turn signals to the reflectors.
I put some led ones in mine ...gets them "up" where the guy behind you can see them!
Can't tell they are there till them come on.
