Another item that arrived together with the battery was the rear light
The old one was not damaged but was missing the lower transparant case housing/strip. I think it got lost somehow. And it was "fixed" with cellotape:
Luckily this item is still available as it's another item as used on the Lambretta D150

for photo purposes I mounted it but afterwards I put the old one back on again as I fear it might get damaged, it's very fragile. I'm surprised there is not even a gasket for it. Also the lampholder underneath is very particular. More on that in a different blogpost.
I did perform some more checking on the rear light and by surprise I found this photo. It's an item that was for sale. And as you can see it has a gasket. Also you can see the nice lightbulb-holder setup, which is slightly different as done on the Iso. I'm now curious to know on which vehicle this has been used. Althouh it looks similar I suspect it's slightly larger thus different.
It might have been used on the Iso Furetto? I'm awaiting a response from the reseller.
Or on a MV Augusta (this one has the white gasket):
Next I found this light with a metal case housing unit:
After a bit more digging it looks like this might have been used on a Ducati 100cc sport from 1957. Or at least on some Ducati's from that era. After further checking I noticed the rear lights on the Ducati's are however slightly different but close though.
And one more I found, with a metal background plate. I wonder how the bulblight holder looks on the inside. Unfortunately no photo's of that available. Slightly to expensive as well to purchase:
And today I received the photo of the inside, a completely different lampholder solution
