Info in this thread.  Wayne is the man when it comes to simplex parts.  Tell him you got his name from this website!

The replacement taillight Wayne sells has a base that's machined out of a solid piece of steel instead of stamped sheet metal.  It's heavy chrome & should last forever compared to the original. 

Between looking at the shop manuals & the threads about restoring handlebars (all on this site) you'll be able to figure out the bits & pieces that make up the throttle assembly.

Wayne also has the single bulb taillight that is more to what came on them. You also can find 6volt 1157 led bulb that can be made to fit the socket.

A '56 should have a double bulb lamp because it's got a brake light.
