Im on the lookout for a rear boot emblem with reflector for my 56. Ive come across the emblem, which seems to be readily available. BUT, can I find a reflector? No chance

does anyone know where can I get one?
Also, who is the cheapest/best quality for parts? Ive come across Moss, Bull Motif, ESM and charles Ware, is this the usual traders?

I got one of the reflectors from Tom Roys, its not exactly the same profile as the original but it does fit the chrome. I think it was only about £1.

you cant get the original type reflectors anymore, you can get close ones that have a flat profile that will fit from some of the suppliers as David says

May be Carles Ware can help you, will be expensive but you will have that if you are on stress!
Cheers

I bought a few from Tom Roy for friends in Greenock Car club during the summer. Part SV127 for £1.25 fits really well. Other suppliers will sell I am sure.

If you do find an original 'domed' one it's likely to be all faded and 'milky'
However you can bring them back a bit closer to original by sanding down with very fine wet and dry, then polishing with 'Brasso'
Takes a bit of time and patience though

Chillian Minor,

One tip i would suggest, when comparing prices between the suppliers, do take into account the postage and the vat on the postage. There can be quite a difference in the final total.

If you read the club magazine you will find that there is a whole industry of suppliers of parts for Morris Minors
