Plastic lamp clusters

Post by Pyoor_Kate »

Ages ago I remember hearing of plastic replica lamp clusters for the back of the mog. Does anyone have any experience of these (do they look fairly original? What sort of quality are they?) or know where to get them from (if they're any good).

Me and Mazak get on about as well as ducks and flame grills, so if I could replace my hideously pitted ones I'd like to, but I'm a little loath to replace them with new Mazak, 'cos it probably won't last vey long with my lax polishing regime.

Kate the latest rear light clusters are made by using a different process but are not cheap at £70 but the plastic ones are only £32:50 and they look very good just slightly different and its onlt when you tap them you can tell they are not metal based, they are both available from East Sussex Minors, just check that if you go for the meatl based ones that they are made using the later process which I think is gravity fed casting to eliminate the Mazak bubbles.
The plastic ones are that good that I bet Jo with her new convertible from Canterbury Convertibles did not notice they were fitted to her car (Betty)
