indicator lenses needed

[7Westfield]

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.

 

Stop/Tail Light-Complete (Flat Red Glass Lens) LUCAS L488 Type - Electrical from ESM Morris Minors UK https://share.google/CIzgUQ4uQQrInYWV7

 

 

 

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

Does the  shipping/tariff debacle apply to items between two private citizens?

I have no idea   but if I were betting, I'd say yes    basic govt greed

 

I did find some lenses over here, easy once I knew what to look for
