Are those for the rear, Eric?

Yup. Rear turn lamp, 1962-67 according to VB.

Moss = no
VB = no
spitbits = no
bpnorthwest = not listed, but checking
engel - checking
british miles - checking

any other suggestions? I need a source for new ones.....
 
Rimmer Brothers has used ones only. I have not found a source for new ones. I have found info posted by other owners who home-made their own replacements. Ernie

Eric, let me check this weekend. I may have a set of NOS Lucas items, still in the boxes.

Thanks. I'd actually prefer those go to an individual in need, rather than to my gluttonous commercial efforts. I'd feel guilty selling someones personal stash to one of my customers for profit.

I appreciate your generous offer, though!

I'm looking for a source to stock my shelves - since there doesn't seem to be a source, I think I'm going to finally attempt to learn about rubber casting/molding. Seems like there's enough of a market to justify the cost. Besides, it's always fun to try new things......

OK, Eric. I appreciate your honesty. I didn't make it up to the storage facility to check, but I know I have a set that I bought for my MkI GT6, about 1995 or so. I decided to install the Euro Spec beehive lamps instead of those godawful huge things that we got here.
I think they look much nicer, but I still haven't decided on yellow or red lenses for the turn signals, though. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wall.gif
