Retrofit part for chmsl third brake light repair

My refector/bulb mount was cracked and would not hold a bulb. When I tried to mess with it it totally shattered. My fix is a plastic plate holding a flat panel LED board. Made this one in aluminum. I made another in plastic with the board angled to be more vertical.
I could not find a reproduction reflector for sale anywhere.

This is all part of putting the car back on the road after being parked for 17 years.
