t44 Euro corner reflectors (take 2)

[LL - NY]

It may not be the most cosmetically correct option, but when I did the
Euro's on my 200,
it appeared to me that the US DOT Orange corners could be made to fit, albit
with the
socket for the side marker bulb removed from the backside of the US corner,
and some
sheet metal fabrication of the mounting tabs to get the US corner to mount
to the Euros.
One side benefit, shove an appropriate LED array in there and you could have
functioning
"blinkers". One major drawback. They're orange, but they won't cost $100.
