911R tail light housing install question

Hey folks. What did you screw into for the inner mount screw on the 911R rear housings? The outside screw is close to the original hole, but the inner hole is 4" away and not aligned. Was assuming I need to make a tab of some sort, but hadn't seen any other methods on the site.

My kit came with a 4" long 1/2" thick hockey stick shaped plastic piece that serves as an adapter for the inner mount screw. That's probably the easiest way to mount it.

Thanks Steve. Do you recall who you ordered from?

I want to say I got them from Rebel Racing, but there's a small chance I got them from GT Racing because their price is better. I called them and they explained the kit at the time.

If I were you I'd go to the hardware store and buy a foot of 1"x1" wood, cut the lengths you need, then use a miter saw to cut the hockey stick angle. It might take you an hour to make the adapter but it'll cost you all of $1.50
