just buy a brake light kit for the rear window... preferably a square one and whack it in the middle.
Had on on my SR and it looked like it should have been there.

TunaFish is the way forward... you mark my words. :D

I had a 5-bulb one in my Antibes (soon to be fitted in the GTE).

It's one you can buy from Halfords for about ?16 and looks very smart.

It's got a flat mounting plate with a hinge then a bar with another hinge at the light unit end so you get loads of room for fine adjustment.
I screwed it into the metalwork of the roof just ahead of the tailgate rubber seal.....the screws came through into the drainage channel where the tailgate hinges are.
It then sat right at the very top of the window without being noticeable in the rear-view mirror.
