Because I would like to keep the 3 BL in the stock position and I have a clean 86 spoiler the only difference is the brake light position

Then you'd have two HMSL's? Either that or two holes in the hatch glass. Neither one seems appealing to me.

The 86' spoiler is the same except the third brake light is in the hatch between the hinges while the 87 has it below the spoiler as long as you have the third brake assembly from the 87' I wouldn't see why it wouldn't work.

A good mint spoiler for 86 is very,very hard to find,it's your spoiler do what you want,but you will ruin it.

what I meant btw by mint is that the spoiler is in good condition which makes it mint hahaha when I get home I'm going to see if I can make it work . If not I will be trading it to someone who can use it.
