It seems to be your light bracket. I think it's a bracket to the long rear mudguard :?? I learn the difference when I rebuild my A4, I chromed wrong bracket and the bike looked like yours. this picture wiew the bracket made for long mudguard

O.k... let me get this right, you think I may have a long bracket on a short guard?..
Could be, my bike is original u.k, may have had a long guard as standard which rotted and then the bracket was fitted to a short guard ??.

Thanks and noted, I'll look into your idea...

Need a short bracket ? to try now....

No, the light unit is different, as is the tailpiece. The light units have a different number of mounting bolts.
