M.O.T emergency - need a U.S spec front indicator lense!

Post by Dr. Ferdinand »

I have a crack in the right hand side front indicator lense (turn signal for the U.S guys!) on my 1971T therefore I need a lense asap for the MOT.

It is an all orange lens with the silver 'chrome' trim - if anyone has a spare please let me know

Cheers

You might find a US turn signal lens quite difficult to find outside the States in a hurry.

Why not swop the two front lenses for European spec (easier and quicker to find) for your mot and then look for your matching US lens at a more leisurely pace. You might find it possible to buy or even borrow two front lenses for the mot from someone on here. The silver surrounds are harder to find than black surrounds but that won't affect the mot and you can always resell them later on here after you source your original.

Regards
Mike

I have a perfect pair of orange lenses, but they have black surrounds.

Cheers Gents. I am hoping someone has changed some u.s spec lenses for some euro specs and has them in the shed!

I might have one in the shed I could loan to get you through the MOT, but would need it back, does that help?
