indicator lenses needed


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know what the "flat" style Lucas lens was used on?

I'm referring to one that fits on the same base as the beehive lens, like on a bugeye sprite

Somewhere, I've seen some that only protrude about 1/2"

Were they a Landy item?

 

edit...red ones are available for XK-120, but I want amber

If you are referring to the L488 (73 mm diameter rubber surround), then these are also available in amber.

 

FYI, the whole unit is different because the bulb sits lower in the fitting. The bulb holder is deeper, as is the rubber boot.

Here's a link to the single (indicator) holders:

And to the boots:

You could instead be refering to the Lucas L539 light that is 83 mm in diameter. I don't have a link for these but a quick internet search may bring them up.

Indeed, the 73mm is what I want.  I have modified the sockets to be deep enough, so that is not an issue.

I just need some "flat" amber lenses

 

or, am I looking for unicorn poo?

 

edit,,,Success        MM Spares has what I want

now to decide if it's worth fighting the current shipping/tariff debacle

 

thanks Morris
