Lights

Post by Psiteep »

Deart All,
Headlamps working fine, but the sidelights are missing, as are the rearlights. I have taken a photo so you can see what I need, basically, new rearlamps and front sidelights.
Re- the rear ones, I am not insisting on glass, the plastics ones will do and I suspect will be easier to get hold of.

Yours as ever,

You should be able to find a pair of those but they may be a bit expensive. Lucas L471 rear lights as fitted to Series MM and early Series II. You wil need the two lenses, chrome bezels, rubber seals and two chrome screws on each lamp. You may also need new bulb holders if those are rusted. The lamp base plates may be less easy to find so try cleaning up the ones you have. It is worth the search for glass lenses, they look so much better than the plastic lenses and they do not fade to a dull orange.
The front lights are Lucas 489s

Look after those aluminium (?) castings!!!! Do not butcher them, they are like rocking horse poo.

£34.75 for one complete new unit from these people.... includes bulb holder (the expensive bit).

I have salvaged my bulb holders and got the other bits from ESM. I am just missing the glass lenses, my plastic ones will do for now although one is going orange.

Dear All,
Thanks very much. I will get onto it immediately. MM Josh, thanks for the offer but I have two bulb holders.
I feel I must say it again, everyone is so helpful
