Turn signal light 'repair'

[mbz.280sl]

My original US headlight assembly had a completely rusted out interior section for holding the turn signal bulb. Since I wanted to keep the original assembly I was looking for a way to fabricate a bracket to hold the bulb for the turn signal. With the help from my brother, after a few visits to the auto parts store and hardware store, we decided that a piece of aluminum that is used to hold a rain down spout in place would work very nicely. We cut a hole for the bulb and drilled some holes for some screws to hold it in place and it works. It's not pretty but it works and you can't see it from the outside. Here's the pictures of the finished product.

Can you add some additional details to this description please?  My turnsignal is not functioning right now and it is not the bulb.  And I checked with the classic center and the part is NLA with no replacement.  Specifically:
What is a rain down spout?  If I go into a hardware store with your description and picture would they understand?
What is holding the bulb in place?
What is it that the wires are attached to?  How is this piece attached?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

I'll explain as best I can.
I used a strap of aluminum. It just happened to be what we found at the hardware store but you just need a thin piece of aluminum cut down to size.
At the hardware store they should know what the aluminum strap is that is used to hold a rain down spout to the side of a building.
We attached it using the two holes that are on each side of the lower section of the turn signal part. You can see the screws in the pictures.
The wires go directly to the bulb plug (if that is the right word for it), I think we had to buy a generic bulb plug at the auto parts store.
 A hole was cut in the center of the piece of aluminum and the bulb plug and bulb is fitted into the piece of aluminum and held there.
As I said it's not pretty but it works.
