Toyota Corolla KE72 rear brake light bracket

The rear brake light bracket on a Corolla KE72 is long out of production. The surviving ones are brittle, and once the mounting tabs crack there is nothing to buy — the light itself cannot be held in place without it. The owner had a damaged original and no supply.

The damaged bracket was measured and rebuilt as a solid CAD model, with the cracked tabs and worn mounting faces reconstructed to the geometry the part had when new rather than copied in their failed state. The model was then manufactured and checked against the light housing and the body fixings.

A replacement that mounts to the original fixings and holds the lamp correctly, produced as a repeatable model — so the next one is a reprint rather than another search.
